The best fight story is no fight story. People can debate that, but it’s true.

If you’ve never fought, you’ve never stood up for anything.

You can sit around and tell yourself that you’re wise or whatever. In reality, you’re rationalizing your own cowardice.

A coward dies a thousand deaths…

makes me think of that fight club quote

“i dont wanna die without any scars”

humans are animals, animals fight. fighting over a chess game is one thing, but if you are disrespected, you gotta lay down the law. if you dont, well, you better have a good explanantion.

i guess ill share mine. this is the most recent and kinda long so ill keep it short and simple. i was at a lounge checking out the girls on the floor. i apparently brushed my shoulders too hard with another guy. im short, he was tall, i guess that made him feel tough. he pushes me, i push back, he punches me in the forehead, i laugh, i knock him out.

i get him in full mount and start raining down elbows into his dome. at least 10 clean shots before one of his friends had the balls to get me off. we go outside and apparently the guy was in a chinatown gang in nyc. there’s about 15 heads outside, i got about 10 friends with me.

one of those pansies throws a garbage bag full of shit into a girl i know. bitch ass pussies piss me off. i blindly charge towards him… 8 guys surround me. i get pummeled by all of them, ive been here before. i duck and weave and nail one of them hard in the face. he falls back and i run after em and nail em with a body shot that brings em to the floor without breath.

my back is against the car, and the remaining ones start to throw again. i catch the tallest mofo on the chin and drop him, and catch another one in the head. the rest back off. i go help my friends on the other side. end result, i had a small welt on my head and my right elbow forearm and knuckles were swollen. a good sign for me.

i then went to ktown with my girl afterwards and got some hot korean food. my elbow still hurts, i wonder how that kids face feels.

Skipping rope. The wrestlers will probably tell you something different though.

I think its funny to see why the army trains people to disarm someone with a knife.
Unless the knife-er really doesnt know what they are doing chances are the person trying to remove the knife (knife-ee)is going to get super cut up. Try doing it with some permanent markers, its really quite funny.

Just like guns and knifes, if someone pulls on you. Unless you really wanna risk ending up in a hospital bed or worse… run!

I wonder how many knife fights these combat instructors have survived to validate their methods?

My second fight was SuperBrawl in Guam, against a local cop. Prepping for the fight, I was hearing that he was like 240 or something. Since we were fighting under Shooto, 187 and above was heavyweight, so I was pretty screwed at a normal weight of 195ish. So I tried gaining weight prior to the fight, and weighed in at 212, but with horrible conditioning. Hindsight: should have stayed where I was and just worked on skills and conditioning.

So the opening bell rings, I come out with my hands too high and away from my head(prior to prepping for the fight, I had done zero striking work). Dude comes running across the ring, and throws this wild haymaker. I have the fight on tape, and I still can’t figure out how I didn’t see the punch coming–must have been the awesome position of my hands. He swung right around my left hand, and nailed me right on the side of my chin. Lights out. From watching the tape, I took the hit and went down. My legs rolled back over my head–if I hadn’t been right in front of my corner, I would have done a complete backroll off that punch.

I don’t remember the hit, or going down. I saw him start to swing, then I’m coming out of a black haze with him dropping on top of me to start raining punches. I manage to pull my knees and hands in to cover, keeping him from getting stable.

Under Shooto rules, if a fighter is knocked down he gets an 8 count, so now you have this tiny little Japanese ref trying to wrestle a 220lb Chamorran off of me. He gets him off and sends him to a neutral corner, I roll over to sit up, and the ref looks me in the eye and says “FOUR!” I’m like, WTF happened to three? So I get up, and finish the fight, taking what looked like a horrible beating, but really wasn’t that bad really(always looks worse from the outside).

Besides, he apparently was betting on a quick knockout, as his punches lost their steam really quick after that, but we both gassed at about the same rate. He took the decision.

We need a story that starts off, “There I was, knee deep in hand grenade pins and brass…” Anyone want to write one?

This thread should go to the off topic

I have had my share of “fights” or beat downs as a kid.

I am loud and grew up in Brooklyn pre- real estate boom
not to hard to figure out.

but I thought this thread was for like stuff in a ring or matt??

In my first college wrestling match I broke this dudes leg.
It was a horrible feeling- this was a pre-season Div III
circa 1989. and we were little little dudes like 130.

We did some hand fighting, a clinch- I shot for a Single, switched up to a double, and on the dump, I don’t know what happened
but his leg crumpled. We stop, he is like screaming, Im
like WTF… My coach was like this is just one of those things.
go sit in the stands and don’t get involved.
later we find out that his thigh not his knee or shin his femur
was broken. It was Awful a sickening feeling.

Yeah, actually I feel sheepish about posting now. The forum is titled “Combat Sports,” and my scrubby street fight definitely doesn’t qualify as a sport. My bad.

The OP’s story about his fight outside a club and then his getting some hot Korean food afterward made me laugh, and I guess I got a little too excited.

(The story was true, though, not that it really matters.)

This has got to be the most retarded thing ive ever heard.
Literally the most retarded thing ever.
Disrespected how? If some guy tries to fuck with my family or gf or whatever then i will kick his ass. However if all he does is spit at my feet and call me a few names, why would i even give a fuck?
All this " r’spekt " bullshit is just plain fucking stupid.

No such thing.
If there was such an exercise (single best) then thats all everyone would do.
Jump rope is great but it wont make your punches or kicks stronger. The best exercise is just doing your training (practicing wrestling if you’re a wrestler, TKDing if you re a TKDer, etc)
Everything has its place.

a mate of mine was in a fight with a russian so i thought iwould help out, its actually on tape here :

I’ve always said that there is nothing someone can say to me that would force me to fight them. If someone is a jackass, that’s his problem not mine.

Is your (as a general address, not to someone specific) honor so fragile that insults or rudeness can damage it?

look at you getting all wet over something that wasn’t even directed towards you. or maybe you just like to fight over the internet.

Normally I would agree, but I get very touchy with girlfriends.

If someone makes an obscene comment about my girl or her character (think Max Baer in Cinderella Man) than I’m probably going to have a problem.
