Kick them in the balls, poke them in the eye and watch them cry, why waste time on the street with some punk. I say wreck his day and enjoy

Don't ever expect a fair fight. Ever.

Always be aware of how many of his boys "want to watch and make sure no one jumps in." They mean they want to make sure no one jumps in before they do.

Be extremely aware of your surroundings. Listen to your instincts and get the fuck out of dodge if that's what your gut is telling you.

End it as soon as humanly possible with the least amount of force necessary.

Never use any controlling techniques or take it to the ground unless there is no one else around.

Pauper has never been in, or even seen a real fight, judging from his posts.

Like someone said, I keep people at an arm's length and try to keep it under control by being relaxed but NOT submissive. Most people dumb enough to fight in bars are little better than dogs, and I find the same psychology that works on a hound works on most wannabe thugs.

Carry a gun and knife to finish. Owe yea wet naps to clean finger prints; becarful blood stains.

lol @ presure points!  good luck!

Don’t fight. IMO most fights can be easily avoided. As animals we are equipped with physiological mechanisms to alert us when some shit is about to go down. We all know the feeling one gets inside when we pick up some bad vibrations at a bar. Even if a loud mouth is trying to escalate things most of the time this fight can be avoided by simply remaining calm and not hanging around to long.

I wont/don’t fight unless absolutely necessary. Im 29 and have only been 3. Im not saying there are not times after a loud mouth is piping off that I wish I would have throttled his ass in the middle of the bar, but then I think of the potential head ache that would cause and that I might have my shirt ruined in the process and I feel better about my decision. Im not going to ruin my dope ass wardrobe over some insecure dipshit.

Since many of us obviously saw Road House last night on CMT (edited to shit by the way). I will just say “its not personal”. When I go out and about I usually don’t know one person I come across. Why the hell am I going to listen/care what anyone else has to say.

If its a streetfight, my advice is:

Always cheat, always win, The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

  1. Be aware of your environment. When trouble starts, you should recognize who is whose friend and where they are. You should also be aware of potential weapons (poolsticks, bottles, barstools) so that you can be the first to grab one if shit really escalates.

  2. Don't let anyone get within 18 inches of you. If they do, back them up and if they do it again...BAM! Hold your hands up as if you're explaining something but what you're really doing is preparing to pull the trigger on a cross or hook should they begin to swing.

  3. Don't start fights. Don't fight if you can avoid it. I've seen people run their mouths to the wrong people and get bloodied because of it. Try to talk your way out of a fight, not into one.

  4. DO NOT go to the ground. No matter what your ground skills, if you take someone down in a streetfight, someone else is going to kick you in the head.

That's all I can think of for the moment.

1: It's OK to cheat if you're losing, you look more of a twat wearing your face inside out than you do cracking somebody with an ashtray.

2: If you up against a group, forget waiting, crack a bottle and go to work, just remember to take it with you when you run away.

3: Under no circumstances should you lose a streetfight without being either dead or damm close to it, feel free to run away at any opportunity and call it a draw though.

4: Hitting them hurts less than them hitting you, hit hard, hit fast, hit often, and remember to take the biggest threat while your fresh.

  1. The fight started when he called my mother that ugly name. The rest is jockeying for position.

  2. Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for.

  3. I'm going home to my wife and God help anyone getting in the way of that.

  4. You don't eat with your hands, why would you fight with them?

FWIW,

Don't put your mouth on the curb. Nothing good can come from it.

I agree with the 1st few posts. Real fighters don't talk, they fight. Never talk shit, it only shows your hand. Probably my #1 rule is to just be aware. In my experience the guy with the flapping mouth is not the guy you have to worry about. Many times one guy will get in your face and bullshit while his friends surround you and set you up. If they see you are aware of this tactic they are less likely to attack, or you stall their initial moves thus giving you a slight surprise advantage. Also, keep multiple opponents in line, not on either side of you, this seems obvious but it has to be done before and during any attack. In my adult life, almost everytime I've seen a fight breakout I knew who was going to be involved way before it actually happens. Some guys go out looking for fights, stay away from these clowns. As far as skills, a good grappling base to avoid getting tossed, a good 1 2 combo. and some knees and elbows. of course these are just the basics. I have shut down more fights then I have been in.

Ensure you always wear good shoes.....so you can run away!!!

(There are too many stabbings and shootings to bother with a street fight these days...)

interesting.  so i am hearing over and over again that people need to fight dirty.  i completely agree.  however, i remember the last time i said that on this board everybody said i was a pussy.  what has changed.

My coach taught me a cool trick.

If you think that you are definately going to roll, ask the guy a question without a yes or no answer. Something like: Why are you so upset?

He will have to stop and think about his reply, then you crush him in his moment of pause. I have used this one, works great.

try not to get in them....

obviously one should not get in these, but sometimes shit happens.
