Ever been in a Fight?

I was in a few in high school. Wasn't like the movies, although the big fight I had was cool in its own way:

There was a circle of people around us. Me and this guy had words. The guy was hoping, like a boxer, but I thought he was just making a big scene to make himself look good, so I turned around and started to walk away. Next thing I knew, I felt this pain on my right temple and everything went black. I had this nice watch on that my mom bought me for Christmas, so I tossed it to a friend of mine standing there. I saw him drop it (nice catch, Rich!), and about that time the other guy had jumped into the air and I saw his fist coming down at me, and I can't remember anything for a few seconds after that. The next thing I remember was the guy on his hands and knees, and I was punching him in the spine of his back with everything I had. But he was getting up anyway, so I kicked him real hard right before he got up. That was pretty much it. Not too dramatic, I guess, but felt pretty dramatic at the time. lol

The guy started the fight, and apparently he'd been in trouble before, so they shipped him off to another school. I remember the principal telling him, "Don't even bother to go get your books!"

He was a real goof. I remember he had a green line from his left ear to the back of his head, and a red line from his other ear going back the other way. I always wondered if that was lipstick or what.

Kicking is not lame. I have been playing football since i was 3 or 4. My legs are built like tree stumps and i have very precise control and balance over them. I learned mixed martial arts and when i get into a fight, i can knock the other guy on his ass and make him cry before he even gets close enough to me to land a punch. If you know how to kick , using your hands seems lame and useless.

You can break the other persons shin bones, ankle ligaments or even his arms with a couple of precise kicks if you are ever in that kind of a situation.

But i know where you guys are coming from. Those who have learned to kick think its better and those who have fought the natural way think thats better.

If ur talking about an organised fight no but ive bin in quite a few street fights one on one and gang and as far as the debate about kicking is concerned while it may help those who are trained in a specific form of martial art which is kick based its of no use in untrained combat
Usually it is the bigger guys at school who for the lack of a better word participate in a fight . Im Indian on an average guys in our country are 5'5" and 140 lbs at close to 5'11" and 225lbs im pretty big by indian standards not muscular but not all fat either i hav really big bones and usually the guys involved in the fight are within 3 inches and 40 lbs of me the fights are really short over in under 5 minutes basically whoever lands the first couple of haymaker punches wins ive bin on the losing side but more often than not i win my fights and thats because i have a very simple attack strategy jabs straights haymakers i dont try nothing fancy in a situation where there are no rules and untrained combatants its my personal opinion that kicks are useless

I can honestly say I just turned 40 and I have never been in any kind of physical altercation in my entire life :O

i got the s h i t beat out of me many tomes in grade school by always takeing a punch to the face\head and not fighting back. the few times i did fight back i would over power the other guy with punches and chokes. im strong and have a solid chin

A LOT.
Middle school, I remember i fought a guy who was 6'1. I was 5'4. Beat the crap out of him I swear.. butt... the most recent one was with a gang *Latin Kings* and welll.. I got jumped and kicked the HELL out of me. I threw some punches, but after getting hit a lot i just needed to block the punches, then they broke a beer glass on my head.. damn, really hurt like hell.

i have been, and really there are no fancy stuff like proper punching and kicking in real street fighting. all that is going on is grabbing from the neck if you are going one on one or brawling.
