I was Forced to Take someone out in a STREET FIGHT !

[Biggiebrother**]

Ok here's the full story

Went out this past weekend with two mates. It's the end of Uni (College) examinations so is a good time to go out, lots of people out. We went to this pretty trendy area where there are heaps of hot babes. The down side is there are also heaps of spoilt rich kids there. Anyway we had a great time at the first place we went to, having heaps of fun, chatting to lots of babes. Then we left at 11pm to goto the second Club (first place closed at midnight, it's really more of a pub). There was already a big queue outside, everyone was lining up. Anyway these two guys starting having a go at one of my mates . One of these two guys was pretty big, the other was a fair bit smaller but as is always the case the smaller guy had the bigger mouth but they were both being very aggressive. This mate of mine is a skinny guy, doesn't train or anything (he's a pool player lol), he wouldn't hurt a fly. At first it was just the verbals. I was trying to calm things down "calm down fellas, no one wants any trouble" etc etc. Then the verbals turned to pushing, two of them pushing my mate, then the big guy hit my mate hard on the jaw,as soon as that happened i stepped in and hit the big guy with a beautiful full power right hook right in the middle of his face, he stumbled back totally out of it. By now my blood was boiling, it takes a lot to set me off, i have a high tolerance but once i've off, it's go time. I was just about to get stuck into the smaller guy, you should have seen his face, he was totally shitting himself ! he had just seen his bigger mate taken out with one punch! Now at this point a Cop pulled me off him before i could get any techniques off.

Now to be fair, the Cop was very cool, he didn't manhandle me, He just pulled me far enough away then told me firmly to calm down. Once he saw i was in control, he let me go. He interviewed me and my mates, his colleague interviewed the other lot. The Cop took out details but he knew we didn't start the trouble so he was cool. He told my mate he could press charges if he wanted by going to his local cop shop the next day. By the end of things, we were laughing and joking with the cop.

anyway i was mad that these idiots couldn't be reasoned with and it had to come to blows. I'm also a big scared of what i would have done to them if the Cops weren't around. My adrenaline was so high at that point, i don't think i would have stopped in a hurry ! I could see myself doing something really stupid (think mouth on a pavement/brick scene from American History X copied in the last series of the Sopranos).

I haven't been in a street altercation for a number of years, i'm usually very good at avoiding trouble, this time i had no choice, none at all. it is the first time i have hit someone hard since i've been doing boxing, when my fist hit his face, it felt like a piece of fruit getting squished.

Overall, i think myself and my mates came out as well as we could have, my mate has a sore jaw but that's it and i didn't get arrested !

Still why are there so many morons in this world ?

I dunno some people are just gay. Are you seen as the fighter amongs your friends??

 

[Daytrip]

You say heaps alot. That's the only relevent thing I can add.

your lack of control should be addressed. good fighters don't black out and rage when they fight because another good fighter will end up taking advantage of it. i could understand a blind rage if a family member was just beaten to death or something similar, but because your weak friend was being picked on?

if you're going to go to places where that stuff is expected, then expect it.....that's the world we live in. i avoid bars and clubs for the most part because of that. nowadays, fighting leads to lawsuits and jail time and neither is attractive to me.

i've got 5 brothers and all are younger than i am, so i totally understand the "defending the weak" thing, but at the same time, the weak are subject to hardship in any walk of life across the board.....the simple fix is don't be weak. don't run your mouth if you're too weak to do much about it. when you're weak, you should have a super high tolerance for verbal abuse. was his courage a bit inflated because he knew you were there?

control, control, control

Where booze in involved, there will be fighting. Just the way things are.

Thankfully I've avoided fights for a long time. They're always over dumb shit too...

When someone attacks you or a friend, it's go time. Period. You knock em out or stomp em out until they can't fight you anymore. I'd rather spend a week in the slammer than a week in the hospital.

Of course, not fighting in the first place is better. But when you do fight, make sure you're going to win.

Someone hitting a friend/ sibling would be the only thing that would get me involved in a street fight. I can take any sort of stupid aggro shit you throw at me but if someone's doing the same to a friend it just pisses me off. Maybe its some sort of chivalrous instinct where you want to protect other people. I definitely know what you mean though.

 

[Juggernaut426]

the whole rage thing is normal when you've been traiing to fight ut haven't, you know that you can drop a guy but you haven't had the chance to yet so you start to get a little anxious. then when the chance comes and you finally do hit a guy, the adrenaline just kicks in and all that anxiousness comes out. as sick as it may sound, hitting people and fighting is an enjoyable thing. once you hit a guy and it feels good, you want it more and more. kind of like a virgin with sex, once they finally get it, they want it again and again and again

I know exactly what you mean, I can take anything and drop it, all of my fights have been because my friends have been attacked or verbally assaulted.

Except one time I was attacked after someone put a cigarette out on my back, it didn't end well since all my friends were outside waiting for me and there were 6 of them, one of me. I've avoided fighting before that, but now especially, it's just not worth the charges that may be pressed or the injury you may incur. Fights aren't the way they used to be, it's all about how many people you can get to outnumber someone.

seems like alot of people are fighting like mexicans these days... i wish the ufc being so popular lately would be promoting 1 on 1 encounters at least lol.

 

[woogie12]

Haha nah, worst part is these kids get all hyped up and think they're badasses when 4 or 5 of em beatdown and stomp out one kid.

 

[slugger]

that cop sounded pretty cool. good thing he showed up when he did

if push comes to shove then i agree that you should defend yourself

but the american history x/ saprano's talk kind of leaves me a lil concerned

unless it's life and death, if you can try to learn to control your anger. anger can be your ally in a dangerous situation, but you need to know when enough is enough

btw teach your friend how to defend himself lol. i got on my bro's and friends all the time about that shit

 

[IS300_TRD]

Can we get some cliff notes on that? lol

 

[zeroek]

Being calm in a fight is where it's at.

 

[TacWar]

at first I thought this was going to be another of those "so I got in a fight this weekend and totally kicked some idiots butt b/c he disrespected me thread" and was totally ready to preach on the fact that streetfighting isn't honorable and so on, but your friend got punched you stood up for him and I would have done the same thing, but really any fight in such an environment is a risk you really shouldn't take...knives, guns, brass knuckles..and a million other reasons why avoiding confrontation would have been better, but I'm not going to play a holier than thou roll since I probably would have done the same thing, was it right? No, but its tough to not get involved when a friend is in danger.

 

[Pantallica]

This happens to people all the time so no big deal

A few days ago, some coked up lunatic hit my car with a iron rod or something, so I got out of my car and he hit me with the thing twice! I ended up getting the thing away from him, hit him with a shot or two, and then hit him with the iron piece before leaving.



I'm trying to become a police officer, so I had to call the cops just incase, last thing I want is to fail the psychological exam because that guy says I assaulted him or something like that.

He who runs away,
lives to fight another day.

Tell your friend to stop escalating confrontations if he can't fight his way out by himself.
Once he has the message, then tell him not to escalate a confrontation that he CAN fight his way out of.

Trust me in this particular situation my mate was not escalating the situation at all, these two idiots were intent on starting trouble.
