[Closed] Street Fighters

I'm Joe Bugner and, unfortunately, so's my wife.

I taught Chuck Norris everything he knows.

er..just don't tell him I told you that.

Hit hard, fast and often or stay out of trouble. Both work well.

Was briefly 4th in the UK for my weight (middle) kickboxing a while back and had many srteet scraps. As it's aimed at me and a few others I thought I'd step in and "help." 😉

My top tip - don't be so cynical 😉

My second tip - 99% of the time, just run away.

I don't eat rice cakes or quiche. nuff said no?

oh and I may have a double decker at about three o'clock. that makes me quadruple hard.

The first rule of fight club......

I've been in a few fights myself but none recently. Im not a "street fighter" in the typical sense, but I can hold my own.

6'2" and mostly muscle (less than 10% body fat) so I can have a fair good go. The thing with me is that I dont know any martial arts or anything like that "but he just went ****ing skitz" is what one of my mates said about me. No one likes a psycho and I reckon I could have most people who a trained in these so called martil art forms.

Nice pun, I need to try to be more subtle.
Heh 8)
Make that 100% for me...

First rule of self defence...don't be there.

Managed all my adult life without a fight. I feel sorry for people who cannot control their emotions [anger, rage did you insult my pint etc] and have to feel manly by fighting with other people to show their worth. I have real pity for people like that.

I watch UFC, therefore I must be a really good fighter. 😆

I reckon I could have most people who a trained in these so called martil art forms

Yes of course you could... after all they don't train to handle 'psychos' do they?

Junkyard - thanks for the sympathy... When someone attacks you and your girlfriend (now wife) for no reason and you incapacitate them, how is that being "out of control?"

When your sister gets attacked and you sort it out there and then, how is that "not controlling your emotions?"

When mates are set upon for no reason and you help them out, how is that "feeling manly?"

As a husband and a dad, I'd say one of the most important things is to be able to protect them (and close family and mates) in whatever way you can. Sorting a situation out quickly and effectively actually often stops things getting worse and out of control.

Onza - like it!

DT - you've really set yourself up there...

Do you live in the Bronx or somewhere?

This thread is pointless. Lets all meet up, last man standing wins.

What a load of old cock.

This thread is pointless. Lets all meet up, last man standing wins.

Sounds good. You in for it too RM 😉 8 stone of pure psycho animal...

Surf-Mat - do you all wear signs saying 'kick me' or something?

8.5, thank you very much.

i'm a fan of Joe Rogan.

Surf-Mat - do you all wear signs saying 'kick me' or something?

No but my mates and relatives appear to do so. Working a door also results in aggro a fair bit. Always been brought up to defend myself and others so I guess these things happen.

you really are one unlucky person yet you strike a totally different tone from this

Went to Swansea Uni - English + surfer + student = aggro! TBH I got quite a buzz from it, sad as it may seem.

which one is the correct version?
I somehow survived a Wlesh Uni without a fight as well FWIW

I'm a (very amateur) kickboxer - light continuous. I can hold my own sparring etc but last time I got in a street fight (in Fort William after about 8hrs of drinking, I woke up lying in the street with a nice gash on my head and a lump on my jaw. I must have got one or two in as I had bruised knuckles but I'm guessing he caught me with a nice right hook.

And no, I didn't start it - I was defending myself - not very well as it turned out! The 3 Peaks was all the more fun with concussion.

I went to a welsh Uni too. (Aber)

No scraps though just booze, curry, triple vodkas etc

cockcockitycockcock

When i was a kid, my mates Dad once told me "A wise man always walks away from trouble"

A good bit of advice that i've always took heed of.

Junkyard - what is your point? Uni scraps all involved (without exception) defending lairy mates.

[i]"A wise man always walks away from trouble"[/i]

But a hard man gets stuck in 🙂

An idiot does, yeah.

I saw a girl glass a bloke in a pub once. He'd been pestering her, and put his hand up her skirt. She had told him to leave her alone, so it was fair enough really. Petite little thing she was. Not the sort you'd imagine would resort to extreme violence. Even here friends were completely shocked. She just looked down at the bloke holding his face together, and said 'I told you to leave me alone'. It worked, because he didn't pester her again.

'Hard' isn't how many kick-boxing championships you've won, or how big you are. It's about how far you are prepared to go.

I quite often see the consequences of people who think they are hard. Some obviously are 'hard as ...k' and were either outnumbered, unlucky or caught offguard and I pity whoever put them in the ambulance but...........

.......you wouldn't believe how many of them cry like little boys when they are out of sight of their mates/audience and want their Mum 😆

There used to be "rules" for fighting, like,

1st Rule of fighting: Don't fight.
2nd Rule of fighting: Use a weapon.
etc.

I've done some martial arts and I thank all the Gods I've never had to use it on the street.

Hard' isn't how many kick-boxing championships you've won, or how big you are. It's about how far you are prepared to go.

Total cr4p. A chav that stabs/glasses someone for "dissing him" isn't hard - he's just a thick pillock. A guy that can stop a situation quickly and without extreme OTT violence is "hard" and level headed. Get someone on the ground in a lock and you've stopped a situation dead in it's tracks. Leave someone in a bloody mess and spend time inside and you are the loser.

Your "theory" is why so many little scraps turn very ugly these days. What might have been a scrap that's been "won" by a superior fighter now turns into a full on knife fight as no one wants to lose face.

That women wasn't "hard" - she just completely lost it and reacted completely stupidly IMO.

[i]'Hard' isn't how many kick-boxing championships you've won, or how big you are. It's about how far you are prepared to go.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

Exactly bollocks.

I'm too pretty to punch.

However, if there's one thing I've learned it's that there is an even worse answer to 'Are you looking at my bird?' than 'Yes' and that is to answer with an incredulous 'No way!'. He won't like it and she will now be demanding that he hits you too.

Lol, what woody said... a local nut case, i use that word, because he will resort to anything and he's behind 3 mysterious deaths that i know of, yet still walks free.. He once drove a transit van through a wall of a flat to get at someone, while a security guard looked on.. Loon ball.

He once got gobby to mates son in a pub, now normally this guys reputation is enough for most to back away, but mates son bounced him up and down. Properly.

Then went back the day after to do it again, to prove it wasnt just because the nutter was full of booze..

But i dont doubt that given the chance of using a weapon, the nutter would not have hesitated until my mates lad stopped breathing..

There is "hard" and there is "crazy" theres a big difference between em

There is "hard" and there is "crazy" theres a big difference between em

I walk the highway between them

I think I've lost every street fight I've had as an adult, fortunately beer was always involved so masked any pain (it's been 10 years since the last one so I've grown up...).

I walk the highway between them?
You mean in the gutter 😆
What a Tw*t!

Exactly bollocks.

Why, exactly?

'Hard' isn't just about being physically strong or capable. Hard is about having the bottle to go as far as it takes to get the job done, be that climbing a mountain, or stopping someone from sexually assaulting you. The young lass I saw was much smaller than the bloke who was harassing her. He would almost certainly have battered her in a 'straight fight'. So, she resorted to extreme tactics, to resolve the situation. Maybe a bit too extreme, but no-one had any sympathy for her 'victim'. He thought he could intimidate her, and take liberties, but he didn't count on how 'hard' she was.

In fact, the greater the obstacle, the harder the person who overcomes it.

Read the Petesgaff thread. That's 'Hard'.

Hard is also about walking away when its the right thing to do, even tho every fibre of your living being is telling you to kick the shit out of someone

If you need to kill or critically injure someone to "win" a fight or situation then you aren't hard - you are very stupid and out of control.

A court (and let's face it, that's where these situations end up) would look very dimly on someone that's killed or permanently injured someone for no good reason. Of course if someone is GENUINELY in mortal danger, the "rules" are different but glassing someone for being a bit of a tw4t is totally OTT and rather retarded.

I should think that woman is now serving time inside? That's not very clever.

Working a door also results in aggro a fair bit.

Not if you do it properly it doesn't.

I walk the highway between them

Please say this is a joke

Surf Mat;

Apparently the guy had trapped her in a corner, and was molesting her. She'd asked him to stop. He didn't. She glassed him. Fair enough, I say. But have you ever smashed a glass in someone's face because they were sexually assaulting you? I haven't. A bit OTT, for me, but then I'm not a 5'2" 8 stone girl being molested by a 6' 13 stone+ bloke. I'd imagine it took quite a bit of courage for her to take such drastic action.

The bloke was dragged away by some others, the girl and her friends left, police didn't turn up, so I'd imagine nothing further happened as a result. I don't blame here; a nasty sexual bully got his just deserts imo.

As for the 'hard' bit; the fact that she fought back against overwhelming odds marked her out as being tough, and courageous.

Elfin - that's a bit different to the initial story - more serious. In which case, fair enough.

[i]tough, and courageous...[/i]

or, more likely, pissed.

I walk the highway between them

That sounds like a line from Roadhouse.

Glassing is OK? WTF

Knee in the knackers would have had the same effect. She should be banged up.

Ever heard of proprtionality?

I got to blue belt at Tae Kwon Do and Yellow at aikido before my knees gave out... never managed to break out a hadoken on anybody though. 🙁

had many srteet scraps

Well Mat I was going to make a quip about not being at all surprised by this 😉 but then I started thinking - why have I never been in a street fight? Or even in a situation where a fight might ensue?

Ok, tell a lie - the only time I have was when riding through Caerleon a few months back. There's a one way system that goes around the back of the castle walls - the road is very narrow single track but takes a lot of cars. I was doing a bit over 20mph and it's only a bout 400 yards long, so no big deal to wait behind me. Some guy squeezed past far too close, and I made an annoyed sign - didn't flip him off or swear or shout. He then stopped and wound the window down to shout abuse. I braked, got off my bike, tossed it aside and stood there ready to square up, but a (young and much "tougher" looking) chap behind just laid on his horn to say 'stop being such a cock' and he drove off.

That could've led to a confrontation, but I doubt it'd have ended up in a fight since I really wasn't going to look for one.

Cynic-Al;

So, she goes to knee him, it doesn't work, he batters her in retaliation. She had the glass in her hand, he had her in a corner, she did the only thing she knew guaranteed to stop him.

As for the ethics and morals; I'm on her side. No-one should ever put their hand on another in such a sexual way, if it's not consensual. Imagine if it was your lady in her position, and she did exactly the same thing. Would you want her banged up?

Anyway, I'd like to drop this now. Wish I'd not mentioned it tbh.

I had a fight at school once - I think it was a draw.

I've not even come particularly close to having a fight as a grown up. The ones I see are usually caused by people who claim to be level headed "stepping in to help". Causes the other guys mates to "step in and help" which then leads to a stand off.

I think it's very rare that anyone has to be involved in a fight that doesn't want to be..
As a responsible adult and a coward I choose quite vehemently and ferociously NOT to get into physical fights..

Who wants a fwcking biscuit?!
Do you want one... do ya?

*pulls up a bar stool*

Junkyard - what is your point? Uni scraps all involved (without exception) defending lairy mates

Yes you get into multiple scraps all over the place that you admit to enjoying and not one of them has anything to do with how you acted as you were simply defending the honour of people like a modern day Knight with a similar chivalrous code.
Oddly I managed to survive Wales as a student and nights out with family members and friends without fighting anyone [ if only my Mum could say the same thing and I wish I was joking].
So either you are a pathetic individual with trawling tendencies – see other forums you left for example- with the need to prove your manliness by beating up someone else because you are trying to compensate for something or you are just very unlucky and really just a knight in shining armour defending the weak.

PS Best tags I have seen in ages

This thread really does need to hear from ton.

While I agree with barnsleymitch, I feel strongly that there's a lot more road before this gets old. 🙂

I walk the highway between them?
You mean in the gutter
What a Tw*t!

What highway do you walk mate?

I think you should be skipping up that flowery path through a medow, thats the one the wusses walk on.

You've got to be able to handle yourself if needs be

Remember the immortal words of Kenny Rogers and the "Coward of the County" lads...

Well Matt doesn't realise why he annoys people on here, so perhaps the same is true in real life?

Remember the immortal words of Kenny Rogers and the "Coward of the County" lads...

Well that song ends with the guy dishing out a beating anyway, thus reinforcing the idea that violence is good anyway, and thereby rubbishing its own message.

dtf I don't think your hard mate. I think your all mouth and no trousers. 😆

Yes, but that was a pretty corny line to come out with - you're not Ace Rimmer. 😆

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent"

Isaac Asimov

Sums it up for me, though.

Molgrips - can see irony is wasted in this testosterone enriched atmosphere so how bouts we settle this side-argument like men in the car-park surrounded by drunken hags shouting "leave it- he's no worth it!"?

Cos Sometimes you gotta fight to be a man...

molgrips leave it hes not worth it

you're not Ace Rimmer

Oooooh. You are [i]sooooo[/i] dead now.

Or "tout bouche, aucun pantalons" as they say in France.

Funny though.

I kicked a Lemur once

I can see why yunki;

Lemurs walk the highway between swivel-eyed mentalism and bad breath.

So either you are a pathetic individual with trawling tendencies – [b]see other forums you left for example[/b]- with the need to prove your manliness by beating up someone else because you are trying to compensate for something or you are just very unlucky and really just a knight in shining armour defending the weak.

Another stalker geek reveals himself... 😆 😆

However there's it's one thing talking about scrapping and sharing wisdom/info, but it's another thing actually "threatening" people on the internerd - that's really sad.

We must all remember we are sat in front on computers. Sometimes you can tell when someone "knows" (U31 and a few others do) what they are talking about but most of the time it's just some words written on a geeky forum.

I'm tempted to post a pic but I won't 😉

[i]I'm tempted to post a pic[/i]

do you look like a lemur too?

Surf-Mat and Davidtaylforth have at it...

It really isn't worth it...

Another stalker geek reveals himself

Elfin/Fred

Just because it's a sexual assault does not justify "she did the only thing she knew guaranteed to stop him."

What if she had a gun rather than a glass?

You are too right-on for words, just like most male feminists.

elfin aint fred willing to bet on this ?
