Not been in a fight since my teens (over 20 yrs ago), and will try to keep it that way.
Was a karate BB, and we had some lessons from an experienced local doorman about practical self defence, street psychology and how to stay out of trouble which was interesting. His door team also video incidents to cover themselves against accusations of excessive force, so we had a watch of a lot of incidents they had dealt with most of which involved people using weapons - most trouble is started by psycho types who are on drugs/drunk and have a history of fighting since they were in the playground - they are good at it, and get a real kick out of hurting and intimidating people, so wherever it is possible just get the hell out of there, any signs of trouble in a pub or club just leave - this door guy had been stabbed, shot, attacked with axes etc and would probably be dead if he didn't wear a kevlar vest.

I ought to give lessons in this since I've got the world record at it
heres three lessons for free -
1 - If theres trouble over there don't walk to it.
2 - If somebody looks at you in a pub do everything you can to not look over in that direction again
3 - If somebody tries to chat your woman up let her deal with it.
I accept Paypal for more words of wisdom.

Agreed on all points...
Ive had guys try to chat up my girlfriend before...I just sit back and watch...The things women can do are far more emotionally crippling than me beating the guys head in.
My piece of advice would be if somebody is mouthing off don't enter into a war of words unless you are actually willing to fight. Some people just look for an excuse to instigate the fight. So if you enter into such dialogue (rather than just ignoring them) its more likely there will be trouble.
Also you can usually see when there will be trouble or sense a bad atmosphere. Just don't be there. Thats the best defence.
Edit: You are far more of a man IMO if you can not enter into a fight. Except in self defence.

Job done
And here gentlemen is our problem.
You say it like it's something to be proud of.
Unless there's more to it than you've said, the guy was probably just "on the pull" and a simple "no thanks mate" from your sister would have been plenty.
I've been in a few fights, there not often though. I do seem to have people start on me when im out not sure why though, im not the tallest and im not big built. This doesn't mean i can't look after myself, i used to do boxing for 7years and learnt a lot in that time. I don't go looking for fights at all.
Other information - It's amazing the amount of people that start fights and can't actully punch.

Have you ever been in a fight?
not since school.
Are you often in fights?
nope.
Are you the type who gets picked on when out?
yes, i do/say very stupid things when drunk :/
Any other relevant info?
i also seem to be a good runner when drunk
theres always people looking for fights on a saturday night in middlesbrough but i tend to just avoid those sort of people
, am not small so would stick up for mates etc but theres no need to fight because some drunken idiot wants to show off to his mates

Yes, once. However it was instinctive self defense.dmpoole said:
No.
Fortunately not - I don't come across as vulnerable.
I'd never ever want to hit a person ever again or be in that situation ever.
Never had a fight, pulled a few apart as a bouncer and had a few rollings-around-on-the-floor as a security guard, never get troubled when I'm out, possibly because I project confidence and street savvy when I'm walking.
Ok then, who want's a fight? Now, out in the car park.

I'll give you a good kicking after you buy me that pint you owe me if you like.
Yes,
Not too often, last time I hit a guy as he tried to glass a girl I was out with.
Yes, Some of the people who start on me have held grudges for a while and then pick a moment.
Sometimes if someone ****** me off I can esculate a situation when it isn't needed.

1) what if the trouble is related to you?
2) why should you not look any where? they are looking at you for a reason, maybe you should batter them.
3) If someone is trying it on with your lass, gets grabby, are you going to just stand there?
If you think your answers are correct you have never been in any of the same situations as me.

I hope you smacked him good.
Was a long story, posted it on here a while back while half cut. Not proud of it really, I dont go in that pub any more. Actually I avoid it like the plauge.
