Haha no catch as catch can, submission wrestling

not sure when i'd get violent but i'd take action at 4 or 5. I usually cross to the other side of the road or go another way if there is a huge gang up the street ahead though

1) There are about 12 16-18 year olds in a gang opposite. They are staring at your girl from across the street but nothing else.

Don't care about them staring. I'd stare back.

For all the rest,

Have it large with them.

8.

Then I would most likely get owned. But still, I could probably take one of them down, I'm a lot stronger than I look

and I really have no morals when it comes to fights, I once broke some guys nose with a headbutt.

Yeah, platinum87 and hurfdurf comments ahoy...

4) they get told to sod off

5) wife gets given all valuables, phone, and told to carry on walking and to get somewhere safe and phone police.

at this point, its me and them, if I can't talk them down and it resorts to violence, so be it. Had it before in the jobcenter once, we'd been made redundant from our jobs so both in there using the machines. Some thug says something like "alright darling, need a hand" so he gets a look. Then he gets in my face, staff are on edge and I simply said "if that was your missus, would you want anyone talking to her like that?". At which point he apologised and sat down.

Britboy, you're not venturing an opinion on this one? When would you wade in?

Tefal · 21 Jun 2011 at 15:45

lets face it in this "hypothetical" you're either waking up in the hospital or not at all regardless of when you start swinging.

At which point would you dox the offenders and show them to be Bebo using Unicorn lovers?

9) As you turn, someone kinda punches the top of the pizza box out of your hands, making it fly out on to the floor, pizza everywhere. More laughing.

10) You get 'body checked'. one of the guys 'walks past you' ensuring his shoulder smacks against yours fairly hard .. but not knocking you off your feet or anything, and not a punch, just a 'body check'.

imo, 9 would not happen before 10. They would need to do 10 first as 10 is less confrontational than 9.

So, switching it around to body check first:

They would have to be a significant size to want to body check me. I'd lower shoulder a touch and they would be on the floor as a result of it. As for what comes from that, I'd deal with as needed, but get the feeling the loudmouth will be laughed at by his friends

I have punched someone in the nose out of self defence

thedoc46 · 21 Jun 2011 at 16:02

Not sure I'd be able to live through the situation, given my temperament, 12 of them and someone almost certainly carrying a knife. I've been in real situations where I've been in a fight with more than one, and maybe I've been just lucky? But I've never really been hurt outside a few bruises the next day. With the adrenaline going you don't feel the punches or kicks. But 12? being that cocky you know one would be carrying. My missus, she's more level headed and would have probably got me to leg it, to some form of safety... HOWEVER, that wouldn't be the end of it.. Some form of revenge would have to be enacted.. Perhaps getting to the safety of my car, & stealthily coming back and watching until the pack dispersed to a lower number. From no-where I'd turn up holding swinging a weapon being fuelled by all the hatred and violence one can offer..

I may have missed your previous posts, are you some hero or something?

I used to be a pent up youth and slightly feisty, more mouth than anything, but have been training in Jitsu for 6 years and I think that that more you know about fighting the less likely you are to fight...especially out numbered like that. Body posture and tone can make a huge difference in a situation like this.
