How Hard are You?

been in quite a few fights in my younger years olny lost one and i do boxing now

won first 3 fights by knock out took a beating in one off them but won in the end

im about 17 stone tho and go gym every other day

never start fights in bars and what not tho and always walk away if anyting starts
 
I feel I could hold my own if I needed to.

Think I've only been in a couple of fights in my life though, and even those weren't really proper fights.

I manage to avoid fights :p

Did 10 years of martial arts with quite a bit of sparring, a lot of it is feeling confident in the situation and having more mental aggression than your opponent.

Doing martial arts makes you realise real violence is not romantic at all. Unless you know you can quickly control a situation then your best off avoiding it at all costs. It's very easy to end up with a manslaughter charge...or yourself in a box.
 
I admit, I'm only 5.11, mediterrenean and suffer from napoleon syndrome, oh I also have a really bad temper, this is possibly some of the worst combinations short of schizophrenia (however you spell that), I'm finding I'm getting into fights almost every week but none of them my fault or that I provoke them, I just have a very short tolerance for lack of respect towards me or my woman.

Last wednesday some little punk literally grabbed my girlfriend and pulled her towards him, I was watching, she was saying no to him and putting her hand up asking him to go away for at least a minute but his friend had pulled a girl from our group so I guess he was feeling lucky, needless to say as soon as he put her hands on her him and the nearest chair/table were lying on the floor face down.

Lucky for him all my friends (girls, I was the only guy in the group) stopped me as I wasn't about to hit 10 small asian girls to finish him off. This is not the first time this happens and despite my size 99% of them tend to poo themselves and apologise repetedly, I'm not saying I look hard, I don't, I work out but not big to the point that I would scare anyone, my ex girlfriend said it's something about my stance and the way I look when I'm angry, unpredictable I guess, you can't read me and you don't know if I'm going to back down or literally break your neck (these are her words not mine as obviously I don't look myself in the mirror before I fight) so I guess most people play it safe.

The keys to fighting is nothing to do with size, it's how brave and confident you are and it also helps if you have a high pain tolerance and literally don't care if you're going to get hurt or not. I've been punched many times, pushed , even stabbed and I still have yet to meet any one who's made me flinch or move after a blow/hit. My last big fight the guy actually head butt me and punched me before I even realise what he did, maybe I'm slow but I just didn't feel anything, this guy was a ex con thou so he did know how to fight.



By the way I know that if you go into a club with your gf you should expect other guys to hit on her and I totally understand that and I don't start fights for this, but my girlfriend or any other woman, if she is quite clearly saying no and trying to get away from someone if he grabs her like a piece of meat and pushes her towards him I'd like to think any one else here would react.


PS: forgot obligatory COME AT ME BRO

It's quite funny that a lot of the bigger guys reckon because of their size they would be good in a fight, but personally I would muuuch rather get into a fight with a big chap, than a sinewey small guy (if I had the choice)

it depends on how big they are.

and if its fat or muscle, etc.

take a 18 stone fat guy, he would be easy to deal with. now take cain velasquez, he is 17.4 stone and could smash anyone on this forum to a bloody pulp if he wanted to, but i doubt he goes out looking for fights.

I like to think of myself as quite "hard" I was a black belt in Jujitzu and I've done security training to be a bouncer, however my security experience consists of more receptionist duties lol.

Plus, it's not that I dislike confrontation, but based on the doorman work I did at uni, telling both guys to grab a beer on the house usually works better than opening a door with one of their faces
 
How can you have a black belt in a close combat martial art that you don't even know how to spell?
 
I 'could' probably hold my own (doubt it :p), but I try to keep out of violence, as I just ignore people when they start acting 'hard', and tend to walk off.. Not had a fight in over 15 years.
 
Haven't been in any fight what so ever since I was in primary school. I would never instigate anything like fighting, I don't even recall any aggressive verbal situations either, I just keep well away, If i sense trouble around me or the area. I flee. Never been beat up, Never plan to be and never want to be in those sorts of situations.

But then I try to be aware, like avoid bad areas wherever I visit etc.

I can take a lot of pain if that counts as hard but I know nothing about fighting so would just get the crap beat out of me by someone with experience :p
