I guess I don’t fit any category. I was trained by one of Joe Lewis’ black belt instructors for 5 years, 2 years before that of traditional karate. Kickboxed for 2 years till I turned 40. Only been in 2 streetfights,and one of them was a gang fight.
The biggest thing about fighting I have learned is how to avoid fights. I’ve seen a sucker punch by an untrained fighter put a guy on life support when his head hit the concrete. This late in my life I have a few assets I don’t want to lose in court.
What kind of wise crack is this? A T-Nation poster cannot enjoy street fighting?
I enjoy street fighting and I enjoy beating someone down me and my wife does not like. And if I get my ass whooped, well then I learned something valuable there.
im a lover, plain and simple. they call me the jolly green giant, no lie!! now, im not gonna say i dont run my mouth, but anger problems and going off the handle has landed alot of my friends and family members in jail and anger managment, i tend to be less brutish and talk my way out of things.
I do enjoy boxing and MMA as hobbies, but honestly, I don’t think I would get in a proper street fight. It’s not that I’m against it, I just don’t trust myself to come out on top and am afraid of the outcome elsewise.
The exception would be to protect someone I care for.
As a former WBA light hwt champion, I guess I’m a fighter. As a man who has had sex with over 20,000 women (and I do remember all of them), I’m a lover. Of course, all of this was accomplished over the internet, so I’m not quite sure how that translates to real life.
