I'm a pretty non-violent person overall. But sometimes I wonder - If I got into a fight with a certain guy, would I win? I've only had two fights in my life - neither or which was instigated by me - and I did fine, but that was 10 years ago or so. I don't really know how I would do now, but if the guy in question could handle himself I would probably get my ass kicked unless I was really pissed off.
I haven't even come close to getting in a physical fight with anyone in forever, mostly because I have no desire to be punched in the head. I'm pretty sure that most people that get in fights are either looking for it or are trying to prove something.
I guess what I'm saying is that I could definitely kick the shit out of gregg any day of the week.

Yes, quite a few. I've never started one, but if someone's being a prick, I can't back down. I've ended up in hospital a couple of times (broken hand, concussion), had my ribs broken and countless black eyes. I got my ass handed to me when I was about 16, and ran off before throwing a punch - I realised that getting punched in the face doesn't hurt that much, but running away does.

I've been in many fights over the years but I haven't been in a good ol' fist fight in ages! The last actual fight was maybe in 2005, I was 24.. It involved shattered beer bottles and, big surprise, it was in a club. After that the worst I've had have been aggravated arguments or heated discussions.
I never start fights or go anywhere with the intention of fighting. I try to be a pacifist in all my interactions and I generally believe that I can talk my way out of most situations; but trouble sometimes finds a way to get all up in my business and some people only speak the one language. Bullies often mistake me for an easy target and it's not long before they realize they've taken on more than they can handle. I'm all for honour but if the odds are against me I'm not too shy to fight dirty.
I agree with you, Ghandi, it's rare to get into a fight unless someone is really asking for it, whether it's the stereotypical bully mentality (pick on someone to prove that you're no push-over) or the guy is just a sado-masochistic prick.
It's a touch match but Gregg's beaver instincts are well-honed. You'd best be careful diving head-first into that scuffle!

No.

Yea. I haven't ever told anyone this, but here goes. This probably won't surprise you guys too much, with things being so dangerous here. This was back when I was taking Ju Jitsu classes at some school here.
Some stupid local gang tried to hurt my sister once, so I felt I had to teach them a lesson. I tried to trace them, but it was really hard, and I put the word out.
Later I learned the gang's boss was holding some sort of a lame martial arts competition (or tournament if you will). I felt this was my only way in, and my only way to get some revenge.
It was a hand to hand competition, and I beat everyone. One dude tried this lame flying kick on me, and just punched him in the nuts as he was flying over. Then there was this other dude with REALLY BIG BROWN NIPPLES. Seriously, they were like saucers. I was like, if you are going to compete, at least put a shirt on imho lol. Some white dude beat him though.
Finally, the leader of the group met me, expecting me to become a part of his team. There was something off about him. It was like he was a ventriloquist's dummy; his lips were out of sync with his speech. Also, he really didn't like cats.
Anyway, after it was over, he said to me, "Congratulations, you are ready to enter the group."
To which I replied, before killing him, "NO BITCH, it is you who is about to ENTER THE DRAGON!"

Ahahaha! I got about halfway through that before I caught on. :D
-
hehe, that was inspired by the Star Wars thing I read.

Pug? Kill? As in murder? Isn't that illegal? :o

Haha.
I've been in a few fights back when I lived in Belgium. Just stupid school stuff. I haven't been in a single one since moving to Canada. People here are more interested in talking crap than actually getting into a fight.
Not sure how I'd do right now. I guess it'd depend on the situation and who I am with (as in, if I'm with guys and would they back me up or pussy out). If for example I'm walking with my photo gear after a gig and someone jumps me, I'd probably go crazy. Heck, when I sense I'm in shit I take out the monopod as a warning.

I've never been in a fight. If I did get in one, I would get absolutely destroyed.

Ditto.

Is it still considered a fistfight if your opponent is a grizzly bear?
-
No. That's a clash between gods.
-
Yes, and I hate you.

I got into a two or three fights as a kid in high school. My weakness was not being in control of my emotions once the adrenaline kicked in. I am sure I would have done better had I been in better control of what I was doing.

That is the key, young grasshopper.
Most fights are completely pointless. The fights I love though are the ones that have some deeper meaning, like fighting with a guy then becoming good friends with him. Some of my closest friends are people I fought with then respected. Looking back it was almost always a fight over something stupid or trivial, like a girl or mother-cussing, but realizing that these small scuffles forged such good friendships I have no regrets. It's good to reflect on yourself and realize how much you've grown.
I sometimes wonder how I'd deal with topic with my potential children. My current mindset is that I would never encourage them to fight but I'll make sure they know how to defend themselves if a fight is unavoidable.

Good to know. :-[

Leave him be Cools. He is only 12.
And a girl.

Have you ever seen a 12 year old girl fight? Testicles will be smashed, hair will be pulled. It's not pretty.
