How long has it been since you have been in a fist fight?Have you ever been?Why?

I have been involved in a few fisty cuff situations, none of them my fault naturally :) i hate confrontation and i have never thrown the first punch!

No. I've come close a couple of times, but I've always managed to talk out of it, or walk away.

Friday actually, though I wouldn't call it much of a fight. This guy in the year below was really annoying me, and wouldn't leave me alone, so I told him to piss off. He then groped my arse and said I was a 'dirty little whore, only good for one thing' and that he was going to 'teach me things I wouldn't soon forget.' I turned round and went 'oh yeah? Well, lets see if you are a fast learner, shall we?' and punched him in the nose, cutting my knuckles and giving him a nose bleed. I'll tell you something, my knuckles really hurt

A few, but not in many years.

Once or twice.
For the most part though I try to avoid fights, and when someone does get aggressive with me, I prefer to let *Them* throw all the punchs because if they do it's not a fight, it's just assault.

I can generally hold my own in a fight, but if I want to hurt someone, I prefer to do it by just letting them see the natural consequences of their actions (I.e. Getting arrested and thrown in jail for assault).

Yes, well- sortof. I punched a guy in the face, but he didn't hit back. It was my freshman year, and I only got suspended for 1 day. My dad was so proud of me. :P It's a long story, but this guy, who at some point later became a friend, was being a really big asshole to my friend whom he was dating, she said he threatened to hit her, and I lost it. I found him during lunch and punched him in the face- he ran to the office, and I went back to lunch. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if the situation ever came up.

Yes, have you?

When I was 12. With my sister. She threw dish soap in my face and I then preceded to kick the ever loving sh*t out of her.

The last time I was in a fist fight was last night,
I lost to a 100 pound 14 year old kid for the 3rd time in a week, The longest I ever have gone without getting into a fist fighht was 6 months because i was shot 6 times in the chest by a kid i had beaten up

Yes awhile ago, the guy try to mug me..not knowing that I know how to fight. he was 2x my size..and he ran away after i beat him

Yes, and it should have been a fair one, but his 3 friends jumped in so I had to run ;)

Many years ago,I think it ended up a draw.

Yes, unfortunately. I try to avoid though.

I assaulted my mother's boyfriend for putting his hands on her. It was not much of a fight because he was petrified the moment I slammed my fist on the bedroom door and raised my voice( I am the quiet type). After a spearing tackle and a forearm to the head, he never touched her again. Frankly I do not like to be violent but I will not allow a woman to be abused when I am around especially my mother.

I've never, EVER, been in a fist fight... =)
(and I'm proud of it!)

About 4 months, me and my good friend were fairly drunk and he was talking bad (really bad) about my dog.

Last year, I was on my way home from a night out and in the corner of my eye in the alley, I saw a couple having an arguement. At first I ignored it, then the guy slapped her hard to the ground and proceeded to beating her. Of course if you were in the situation you would help out the girl, so I ran and tackled the guy, just as if Goldberg was about to spear his next victim, lol

2 weeks ago. I took my 2 nephews who are mixed to the mall to get them some shoes.I guess the 3 guy's didn't realize that they were with me and called them both porch monkeys and the "N" word.To make along story short.I know for the next 4 to 6 months they won't be sayin that crap again.That's around the time there jaws should be heeled and thay can get the wires removed from there jaws.

Lost to a 13 year old 5'4" 100 pound kid last night who saw me get beaten up by a 12 year old 90 pound kid who beat him up, He never won a fight in his life but thought he could take me and challanged me to a fight and iof course when I saw him inhis suit and tie I was ready to fight anyway,

I have a rematch scheduled for 9 PM tonight

lots when i was young and daft but thankfuly i grew out of that

Yes. I have not had one in years. The last one was with my husbands ex wife, she poisoned their kids minds with stuff about me and when I confronted her she spit at me, she missed, I decked her straight in the mouth. It was an automatic reactions and she no longer messes with me. I guess she got the point.

not a real one, only ones in dojos

Last night
I just bought 3 New Sets of suits and was driving home when I saw a Church with a bunch of Kids in suits, I got a hard on and put on the 1st suit and tie and beat up one kid, Then i got beat up as I walked away.
I then went and changed my suit and got beat up by another kid 20 pounds smaller than me.
I cahenged clothes to my last suit when this kid 30 pounds lighter than me. I am 105 pounds and he beat me up
and he jacked off on the inside lining of my suit and then stripped me naked and did me

Non-fatal fights are not like they are portrayed in Hollywood; the bad guy gets knocked out and is never heard from again. In real life, the brainless guy you whip (let's pretend)conspires for revenge later which can be an ambush, including killing you, arrives with help from friends, destroys your property, and other forms of nuisance. Forget about the police being a salvation. So you can never let down your guard, but you will.

My fight bio:

One fight was held but I didn't participate. It was a case of mistaken identify at age 12. I thought he was someone else I had bested on a sports field. Wrong guy. Another was by appointment which I failed to keep. Another I screwed up the courage or anger to swing, but missed, he grabbed me, I quit, then he told bystanders, "Get me off him!" Odd fight "started" by the othe guy. I had teased him a lot goodnaturedly, but he did not see the nature or humor. I failed to notice, and was shocked by his much later reaction.

I'm a nice cowardly guy with no awareness of other people's feelings.

Usually, I have done something I regard later as provocative or "wrong." This produces a feeling of being at fault which produces images of being discipline by my abusing father. I react to the other as if he were my father. Profound psychology in this. Seeking opportunities, I suspect, to piss off my father. Negative motivation?

When I am NOT in the "wrong" or not aware of anything I have done to provoke, I don't kowtow and do stand my ground. Images of my father do not emerge since I have done nothing wrong.

When I am at fault I usually apologize or make some honest explanation or "take" the other guy's lip. One extremely large guy called me an awful name for cutting him off in a two lane (yes, he had one and I took the other.) I explained that I was lost and trying to find a crew of men who were working for me in the neighborhood [of a large city] (all true). His demeanor change instantly, and started giving me directions.

A guy in a cable tv truck followed me in his truck for some offense I didn't take credit for. He was giving me the riot act, and I finally said, "F-- you!" He staggered backwards three steps like he had been shot. He didn't swing on me. Well, I thought, if that didn't make him swing on me, nothing would. I just drove away.

One does dream of being a he-man and taking out harmlessly and painlessly those jerks encountered. The injury to one's self-esteem takes a lasting, heavy toll. I never forget the encounters I "ran" from or "talked" myself out of. Oddly, I don't ruminate on or pride myself on those where I came out on top (never in a fight, though.) They are just something that happened. When I am the coward, however, those instances are loud echoing statements to myself of worthlessness.

My rule of thumb is this. Anyone, willing to tangle with another male, is dangerous. They are reckless in their thinking, and consequently are capable of doing anything. That kind of nut would be picking a fight without knowing anything about his opponent. He is simply consumed with rage. I would not be, and it is best to avoid them. Rage out thrumps will-to-survive.

The other guy might be able to withstand enormous pain (re: Rodney King). Cops TV shows have shown a motivated man able to manhandle several trained, equally motivated police officers. I bring no weapons to a fight.

Oh, one last thing. Martial arts. I suspose they work. In grappling you eventually let the attacker go, so he can try again. Not good.

In karate (as in boxing), I have always thought the main deficiency is reaction time. Every demonstrations is either stagged or they start at the contact point. A punch has been thrown, and with the defender blocking it, the defense follows. If the reaction time is not there or too slow, the block is not made, and nothing good follows for the karate man.

I took up boxing in middle-age in a city gym in the inner city (scarey enough for a cowardly white guy, but I was well motivated.) The coach, a Gloden Glove winner numerous times, would never let me spar with the younger guys because their reaction speeds were so much better than mine. I sparred with him instead. I had the wrong mouth guard, and he nearly dislocated my jaw, and I lost my great motivation.

A girl with any speed could smack me in the face before I could react to block or dodge.

I am willing to accept that reaction time may improve some with practice, but not significantly. I have never seen karate fighting that didn't evolve into an awkward boxing match to the extent that a well-trained boxer had the advantage.

The fights I have seen involve 1) rushing the other person with a lot of flailing (even Olympic boxing is a rapid, non-stop action unlike the time-consuming, slow and deliberate attack), 2) shoving, 3) quick sucker punch, and 4) evolving into wrestling, holding and ungallant beating of the underdog. Most attackers go for the head--it's where the lying mouth and knowing eys are.

One expert said to point to your chin, and say, "Go ahead and hit me." The attacker tends to strive for that spot. It might give you an advanztage.

Do not let them grab you from behind and lift you off the ground. You are then nearly defenseless.

When you can (like in your car)have with you teeth protection, gloves and a wooden club 18-wheel drivers use to test flat tires. (Yeah, it's like a nunchuka or police baton.) Has a leather strap and the oak is hard as hell. The attacker swings his belt with buckle, and you swing 24 inches of solid oak.

Leather can be wrapped securely in your hand, and the wood can protect your forearms and enable strikes from a distance. Fits nicely between the car seat and console. It is for defense, and protecting body parts. Your attacker might see it as escalation, but if you hit something like a fence or tree or the ground, it might give him pause. But, hey, you're going to get your butt handed to you anyway, so why not take a chance at cracking his thick, stupid scull.

the last time was in a fist fight was during class recess-back some 35 years ago..a rogue bully stalked me..i wasnt going to stand for it..and took him down..and even administered a few kicks to his gut..though i was,in the mind of my friends a "hero" i felt bad later for inciting the fight..later i was able to use up my "bad"energy in a boxing ring

Not really a fight. I punched some guy who was really asking for it in the face last year. He could have killed me if he wanted to, but I guess my size allows him to think that he can let his guard down. For someone as small as me, I've a pretty mean right hook, so I guess he was still kind of shocked by the time I walked(ran) away. And that's the only physical conflict I've walked away from victorious since elementary school

Last time was like two months ago, actually fought twice that week, I was being reckless, because it's not hard to win the fights, so I just punched anywhere, not punching smart, and ended up getting boxers fracture, it still hurts when people squeze my hand, and fighting is just such an adrenaline rush, and I never go overboard with it, they're down, I'm done, plus they always deserve it.

i have a twin, so yes!

I have never been in a fist fight,it's not worth it.If you can't talk it out walk away

No, becuase of incredible restraint, one time though, a hockey player tried to grab my shirt but i caught his hand, put him into a half nelson, and slamed him against the bed. He respected me from then on.

The last fist fight I had was when my band were playing in this pub called "The Empire" and a group of skinheads tried to wreck our gear between sets. We had a giant rumble on stage and they lost!!

The last fist fight that I got into was with my cousin a couple of weekends ago, but we were both a drunken mess, so it doesn't count, lol.
But YEARS ago me and my sister got into a fight because I called her dog a b****. She- my sister- got so mad at me and started to cuss me out. Because her dog was whining at my feet, and was irritating the crap out of me, I gave her a little nudge with my foot and my sister went haywire.
Long story short, I got my a** handed to me that day and I still have a scar to prove it. All because I called Peaches- you can safely assume that the dog in question was a female- what Webster Dictionary tells me is the correct term.

two years ago ... This girl wanted to fight my friend who doesnt fight so I punched her ...
I barely awoided it about six months ago. Stupid football guys in a bar wanted to fight my husband and his friend for no good reason they were just drunk, If the bartender didnt make them leave and threatend to call the cops, I would have fought.

I dont encourage physicall fights, but I am not above it when I deem it necessary.

Not since grade 5 and that wasn't much of one. I don't like pain. LOL

A few years ago. Some jerk at a bar had a problem with the fact that I am American and my husband is from Sri Lanka. He started in with racial slurrs and threatening to drag my husband behind a truck. It turned in to a huge bar brawl.

haha, i must be a goody goody... never been in a fist fight, ever! I've never felt the need to pound someones face in... oka that's a lie, lol. There are about 10 people i can think of right now who deserve to have the living shit beat out of them. But i figure they are going to get what they deserve soon enough... and when that time comes i'll laugh my head off :P

I have two brothers, so growing up was an almost daily fist fight, we love each other to death, but, as probably every sibling on here knows, sometimes things resort to fists.

14 years from what I can recall.

I've never been in one.

About five months.
I'm overdue for a good fist-fight, actualy.

About 13 years ago from memory playing rugby union.

I tend not to get into many fist fights being 6ft3 tall and very broad. Furthermore i don't like fighting, it is pointless.

I kind of slapped and punched my boyfriend for being a jerk on Sunday...Does that count?

At a party when I was 17, I was in a club. Guy, dancing, beer, etc. I was dancing when some muscled guy began to dance with me. I didn't mind, until he proceeded to grab.. you know, my.. uh, chest.

The rest is quite entertaining.

I gave a seductive look, and he returned it. I pushed close I could lace my arms around his neck. I was going to wait a little more so I could really suprise him, but he nearly unhooked my bra. I took my fist, tackled him, and beat the crap out of him.

I broke his nose, chipped a tooth of his, and shattered his self-pride. I was quite proud of myself.

Let's just say he won't be doing that ever again.

Three months -Why -BS

3 months ago right before school ended, he threw a basketball at the back of my friend gary's head, so I threw a basketball right at his face and the fight ensued, he threw a really sloppy haymaker that I easily dodged, and then I threw a right uppercut to his chin.

i was 19 (i am turning 24 soon) and it was with a girl i had never seen before.

When I was younger you could probably count some of the confrontations with my brother as fist fights.

I won every time cause I was bigger.

My brother is a little more grown up now.

Friday night. I lost and I am going to fight him again tonight

Never. Girls would never try to start fights with me. That would be a very stupid choice.

1 day, I do it because it turns me on.

Last night. Lost to the Kid 5'4" 105 Pounds for the 5th time
