"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?"
That is really funny eyegore, because that's a technique I use in sales all the time. If you ask customers yes or no questions, or anything that can be answered with a quick one word reply, they tend to dismiss you rather quickly. You start conversations and break their resistance down by asking questions just as you suggested.
Someone posted that you should Never spit on anyone. I completely disagree. When you are in a confrontation and wish to get your opponent to overcommit, I have found that spitting right in their mouth is the very best way to accomplish this. It's like calling a black guy a fucking NIGGER, it immediately causes an emotional explosion and if you are well versed in take downs or boxing, it could be invaluable in winning an otherwise even or otherwise disadvantaged situation.
For example, on more than one occasion I have been faced with a larger opponent who is going to be a challenge in closing the gap with in order to execute my takedowns. The spit to the face has in every single instance caused him to abondon all thought of strategy and simply charge at me and right into a double letg situation which I then elevate, spin and drop on his head. From there the fight has been easily won every single time. A good boxer could use the same technique and counter punch his over aggressive opponent into next Tuesday.
That is another tactic that can be used effectively. I prefer to have a larger opponent overcommitting with a charge or lunge when I attempt to get underneath them. But you are correct, you could always attack immediately following the dreaded spit tactic.
LOL @ Spitting!! If you don't get the take down and maybe the guy is a better fighter, the spit might make him really hurt your stupid ass! Atleast it might make you fell better afterwards.. lmao
who's got problems with niggers? First sugestion is don't fight nigers, spics or winks. By all means avoid dirty whitey and the wop's. Whats left? Towel heads kill all towel heads.
Who said 'take out the toughest guy first while you're fresh'? Wouldn't it be better to take out the weaker guy(s) first so they don't get under your feet while your working on the tough guy?
hmm...another interesting thread, some good points. Now the one thing I can honestly say that I know about is the whole chest bumping thing. As with talking shit the guy usually chest bumping really isnt down for a fight.
