Street fights are fucking scary too because things escalate really quickly. It's always best to avoid fighting unless you are in real danger, and then you should just try to end it as quickly as possible - there is no honor or "good manners" when your life is at risk. | ||

I punched a kid backwards into a community pool when I was about 10. He started it - we both got kicked out. Closest I've come recently was at my little brother's apartment party. Some drunk and underage football players tried to crash us and tried to start a brawl when we kicked 'em out. Both my brother and I were sober and have our CCW's, so that put a stop to the situation right quick. | ||

Once in a while we find some stupid people who may deserve a beating, and when we are training like statix mentioned, we feel really confident. But if you calm down and thing straight, you will realize that most of the times entering a fight will not be benefitial for no one. Once the following happened to me: I was going back home from my University. I had to cross a bridge to get to the subway station. It was about 10 in the night (after classes I practice Taisan Kung-fu, so I end up going home late). And I live in São Paulo, not the safest place. So, when crossing the bridge alone, two suspicious looking guys about my age came in my direction. I instinctly put my guard up just before one of them tried to grab my bag. They kept asking me to give them my things. I remember I was very confident in my skills and knew I could take them in a fight. I also knew they most likely did not had a gun with them (living most of my life in Brazil thaught me to Identify such things heheh). What happend is that by being confident about my safety, I was able to stay calm and think about what was the best action I should take. I then kept my defensive position and said I woudn't give shit to them. After insisting two or three times they gave up and went away without a fight. I was happy they did not try to steal me, because if they did I would have to beat them. The problem is, they most likely live in the favela behind my University, and I use that bridge 5 times a week. Had I beat them, they would probably get mad, and perhaps get some friends or even a gun and wait for me the next day. I would have to change my schedule and go home another time, or by a different route. The way it went, they alerady forgot my face, and I forgot theirs. Edit: I forgot to mention that some dude tried to steal me the following week in the same place. But I just had to say no once and he was like kthksbye TLDR: People who know how to fight may get tempted to beat Idiots. But their skill should actually allow them to be calmer, think straight and avoid fighting when possible Thats actually pretty impressive. Last time I got in a fight, someone had tried to steal my mates phone. I told him to give it back and he hit me. It ended up being mostly kind of grappling and rolling around. Got broken up when street security wandered over. Got the phone back though! | ||

However, back in 7th grade, these three douchebags come up to me in the bathroom while I'm pissing in one of the urinals. These guys are always harassing me and my friends, thinking that since we're nerds, we won't do shit about it. Normally, this is the case, though out of all my friends, I was really the only one to ever stand up to them. Clearly, this pissed them off. So, when they came in, I thought to myself; awesome, these fuckers again, what shit are they gonna pull this time? One of them, the "leader", if you will, keeps on trying to turn me around, while I'm still fucking peeing, saying something that I don't remember anymore but it was really getting me angry. Once I was done, I zipped up, and he tried turning me around again. This time I let him turn me around and then punched him in the face. His two buddies ran away instantly, and he fell to the ground. Washed my hands, dried them, and walked out. About two minutes later he walked out and didn't say a thing about it. I was kinda surprised that he just fell like that, I have no upper body strength and weighed ~100 pounds at the time. Needless to say, me nor my friends have never had any problems with him or his group. :D | ||

Anyways, it's turned out beneficial for myself and the family. I benefit due to their financial position and status, and they are learning to love and accept myself aswel as my generation. All in all we learn a lot and it usually ends in a group hug and a new moral teaching | ||

with that said, last time i fought was in middle school with a friend, for reasons i can't remember. had a basketball game that day, i couldn't play because my right hand got swollen for punching his face too many times. before and after that doesn't count because i was just a ignorant youngin trying to be a thug and pick fights with kids from other schools. a friend of mine was killed about a year ago from a club fight. please, avoid street fights, they're not worth it. | ||

Except as he just punched you out and proceeded to take everything you love. Intellect is what rules society but the first is what makes people obey, else we wouldn't need police etc. | ||

Street fights and scuffles can end up real bad especially if they have a weapon, fighting is something that should be considered last resort just because you never know. I think thats terrible flashing a gun to everyone is going to get more people pissed off. Sure they might not mess with you today but the next day they will come back with someone who ALSO has a gun now what? | ||
