Ever been in a Fight?

I've been in several fights. Got my jaw broken once and my nose broken twice. In reality fights don't last very long. It's usually done with the first or second blow. It starts with pushing, someone launches at you, and if he hits, there's not much of comeback. All those tough guys here talking bout kicking and punching and stuff... you can tell they don't know *beep*
Also it's BS that kicks don't work. It's a simple question of range. If someone comes at you, you kick him in the balls or the knee-caps. In 8 out of 10 fights, this means the end. The problem is, that if your're not used to stuff like that, and if your're a "normal" guy, not a thug who does this on a regular basis, you probably are to scared to strike first. you probably scared as *beep* when it comes to a confrontation and you feel like you can't move or lift an arm. it's even harder to really hit someone straight in the face. i punched a guy in the face and his lip kinda "exploded". he cut my hand with a teeth of his and it felt terrible. i never wanted to hit someone again. but sometimes you just can't escape it. at least not from where i am from. if you've been in a real fight, and you hurt someone and didn't feel *beep* afterwards, chances are hight, that you're an *beep*

In the wise, wise words of Bas Rutten:
"Never underestimate the kick to the balls!"

I've been in 2 proper fights in my life with strangers, the first was a drunken fist fight that ended in a mess of drunken idiots hitting each other :P
The second time I was also drunk, but remembering my previous fail, used Judo to choke the guy unconscious in about 5 seconds and walked away.

Grappling is so effective in a brawl because most of the time you end up in such close range that throws and takedowns are much easier to pull off than strikes.

And in a fight between an MMA fighter and a street punk I'd back the MMA guy every time :P

Two. But they were both a bit one-sided. Just me punching some kid in one, and some kid punching me in the other.

I haven't been in a real fight. I am a very big guy and don't get into fights if it's avoidable.
So far, I only felt it necessary to hit a person with full force once (some guy that ticked out in a concert crowd and just started swinging). I don't consider one punch a fight.

@RicoSwaff
Kicks are the only way a weak guy has a chance against a strong man, if he is lucky.

Can you imagine Cam Gigandet (the villain of Never Back Down) beating up someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson? Neither can I.

i got robbed once... i gave him my wallet... and i still got stabbed! then i punch his face and slam his head at the corner of a wall... his scull cracked... everything takes less than 10seconds.

i dont fight unless they try to kill me

I have been in a few fights mainly wrestling and usually I tried to calm the other one down. Once one guy tried to punch my cousin while he was keeping his brother and another guy away from fighting I intercepted the punch and put him on his knees with wrist and elbow lock ( i got lucky.) Cousin told me later that it looked pretty cool :)

Wow that sucks,I got into it with this girl in my art class when I was in the 8th grade because she had really short hair and she thought I said something about it,but I didn't but anyways she came up to me after class infront of the school and started talkin *beep* and I had my lock from p.e in my hand cause it was friday and we cleared out our lockers before the weekend and before she got her last word out I put the lock over my finger and punched her in the face with it,I ended up getting house arrest tho for a few months......

In the darkness that surrounds me
I see my own special hell

Positive. Things went well, till that guy didn't took out his knife.
