I assume you live in the states and if not why were you carrying, are you ex special forces?
Have you ever been in a street fight/comfrontation?

Indeed and he was clearly anxious for his next fix, he was all over the place..that's what he was worried about (and all he was worried about he could barely get the words out but the waving knife was enough of a hint) so for me it was easy to let him have it. I sadly, felt glad he took the stuff and legged it frankly. I know people who have said why don't I feel bad I didn't 'have a go' and I have no idea why they'd think that was a normal response..it takes very little effort to stab someone to death. Why risk that.
South Africa I think

If a situation is going down I whip out my nunchucks and sweet katanas. Holding the nunchucks in my teeth, a katana in each hand and knuckle dusters on both feet I then swallow 8 shurikens which allows me to spit them out at my foe to gain an advantage.
My finishing move involves dropping my trousers and impaling them.
I am so good.

Probably around 10 years, i know i have to have my fists sheathed considering they are classed as deadly weapons.
Seriously though, no time. Will have then confiscated and a slap on the wrists.

It's an offensive weapon. You'll likely have to go to court, but the punishment can vary wildly.

This thread reminds me a lot of the "Extras" scenes with Ross Kemp

ANALITY!
had a fair few fist fights when i was younger, since i hit my 30's and have more responsibility i dont tend to go out as much and if i do see some trouble i try and stay away.

As Morba confirmed above, this was in Johannesburg, South Africa. I was a concerned citizen and chose to carry a firearm as I decided rather carry it and not need it then need it and not have it. Luckily, I had it when it was needed
Not ex special forces but went on a survival courses and anti-hijacking course and was marksman rated to 50m (which really is at the extreme end of the range for a handgun). Most encounters take place within 3 metres and ideally you never want to close beyond 3 metres with a handgun as the likelyhood of you using it increases exponentially as the distance decreases and options reduce.
If you have a knife, you need to close, if you have a handgun, you want the distance. If you are Craterloads, his laser vision and deadly fists of steel could probably create a thermonuclear explosion from 100m.
As an aside. what I was taught was that you speak softly to a firearm and you shout at a knife. If you shout at the firearm, likelyhood is the attacker will get a fright and tense up pulling the trigger. With the knife, you want sudden movements and shouting because that leads the attacker to tense up and be slower and less flexible in an attack. Haven't tested the theory as under normal circumstances I would prefer to bring a gun to a knife fight
but just telling you what I was taught.Craterloads can obviously discount this owing to Taser he has instead of a tongue and the aforementioned laserbeams for eyes and fists of steel.
NB
your getting so badly trolled and taking the bait its unbelievable.....stop making yourself look silly.

When i was studying in Thailand one of my masters passed down something that has stuck with me till this day and i see it all the time.
You see all these kids arguing these days, which style is best etc, when none of it matters. Each style is useful in a particular situation. For street fighting i used to rely on my Akido background heavily, but if you cant implement it the knowledge is wasted. My advice would be for everyone to avoid any confrontations, as one day you might run into me and regret that decision for the rest of your lives.

I whole heartedly agree with the above
There is always someone bigger and harder... You may want to remember that as well

I am aware of this tiny possibility, but as i have all ready stated i avoid all confrontations and the desire to fight has diminished within me. I havent fought since 1997.
