Christ, i had an hour break at school and i read this whole thread. i had nothing to do between working out and eating so i thought maybe reading stuff in the combat sports forum could benefit me somewhat. all this shit i just read kinda sucks. some stuff was cool and i liked the street fighter reference. but i wasted my time, and hopefully, if your reading this, i can waste yours too.
im a boxer and all of my fighting is pretty uneventful, its like work. you get punched in the head, you punch someone else in the head, you dodge, counterpunch, block, etc. sometimes you punch the body. when you go home, you tell your family or your girfriend about stuff and they dont care about how good you did or what youve learned, they just remind you about how dangerous boxing is. that kinda gets you used to not talking about it anymore, cause it turns into a goddamned fight with the woman. then youve got a freaking headache, your ears are still ringing, and your womans so pissed off at you cause you decided to share some of your life with her. you end up just sittin still somewhere in the house in the silence doing absolutely nothing, cause thats the only thing that doesnt cause you pain. whether its the woman nagging, or the blood rushing to your throbbing head.
so now, i dont usually talk much about the fighting, i remember the training cause it usually sucks worse than the fight. and it earns sympathy points with the lady!
but the guys i box with party and get into fights and usually beat people up or tell the guy that their about to fight that they train for boxing and fight people everyday for fun, or some shit like that. i think thats such a waste of talent. im not even that good yet and i dont think its fair to fight someone like that. besides, the fight is almost always about some girl that doesnt even give a fuck anyway. so because your a boxer and all badass and tough, you just sent some guy to the hospital and end up paying the bill for his reconstructive surgery so he can breathe through his nose again. all of this because you both wanted to kiss the same drunk skank.
that is my fight story.
