Was out in Glasgow yesterday with my wife, mum and dad. We went and saw the new Batman film at the Imax (thoroughly enjoyed it) and then had a meal and went to some pubs in town.

I was at the bar in O'Neill's with my old man ordering a round of drinks when I looked round just in time to see some idiot swining a punch at me. I didn't have time to get out of the way and he caught me flush on the jaw.

I've been training in Muay Thai for the past four years so reacted fairly quickly. I hit him with an elbow and burst his head open then got him in a clinch and started throwing knees into his ribs until my dad and two other guys at the bar separated us. Then the bouncer grabbed me and walked me outside. My favourite T shirt was covered in blood (thankfully not mine) and ripped to bits and my mum nearly died when she saw the state of me.

The funny thing is that while this was all going on I felt completly calm. At no point during it could I say that I was angry or upset or anything although I feel quite ****ed off about the whole thing now.

Luckily I escaped relatively unscathed with only a cut on the inside of my left cheek but I hope I hurt the swine so he'll think twice about doing that to anybody else. I've not been in a fight since primary school and I have absolutely no idea why he hit me. There were two other guys at the bar and they told my dad it was competely unprovoked.

I must admit I feel like a complete gimp for getting chucked out of a pub for fighting.
 
Getting chucked out of the pub will get you all the girls numbers inside, but wife so =/

He was probably just a drunkard who thought you looked at him funny, and at least he got some damage done, and hopefully as you said, hell think twice before doing it again :)
 
cant you get in to serious crap if you attack someone when you have been trained in a martial art? even if he did hit you first

lol i bet he was saw when he woke up this morning if hes still alive that is

quick edit

My uncle is a truck driver about 9 years ago there was an attempted hijack of his load there were 3 guys 2 were at the back and one guy watching my uncle. anyway he had been training as a kick boxer for about 5 years. he roundhoused this guy and knocked him clean out. got in his lorry and drove off. the hijackers went to the police and my uncle got arrested there was a long drawn out court case he got off in the end. luckily! there was so much hassle because he was martial arts trained otherwise he would have been let off without going through all the crap

Sorry to hear about your ruined evening. And getting thrown out of a pub for fighting (especially in that situation) must have been quite embarrasing? Did you get banned from entering the pub?
 
Have you thought of pressing charges?

When I once worked in a bar, a guy bottled another because he thought he looked like the guy who had taken his girlfriend. It was a total mistaken identify, and gladly he was carted off to jail, complete with statements including from myself. Hopefully they threw the book at him.
 
You do realise that using martial arts, especially to that extent, without warning your aggressor is illegal yes?

If not then your tutor should have told you.

I applaud the initial reaction (yet question "I hit him with an elbow and burst his head open then got him in a clinch and started throwing knees into his ribs" this), but you took it too far.

Political correction: I just hung around waiting for him to stab me :D

When I used to train at Karate, I was never informed of it being illegal :confused:

It might be against the martial arts 'code' but I highly doubt it is against federal law.

its illegal to use a martial art on a member of the public.

OP sounded like his training did nothing and hes lvl1 in street fighting
 
What? So If I am trained, and some guy jumps me with a knife and I have open a can of whoop-ass, it's illegal if I don't warn him first?
