I had never gotten into a real fight, but today was my very first one and it was just brilliant. This guy had been bothering me for some time so I pushed him away and the next thing I know is that we have both punched each other in the face several times. There were limbs everywhere. I had grabbed him from the back of his shirt and I was punching him with all of my strength in the back because he was face down. He fell to the floor and I kicked him as if he was a bag of sand, and then he stood up and punched me in the face 2 times, one in each cheek. With my arm, I pushed him, holding his neck, to the lockers and I was starting to choke him pretty roughly. I wasn't measuring my strength and he told me, coughing, to stop, and then, having the most brilliant moment together, the teacher moves past us and the guys around us split us up. Luckily, no teacher saw us and my pals congratulated me on my fighting skills. I had never believed in fights, thought they were ridiculous but now I'm gonna watch Fight Club everyday, and I'm gonna pick a fight with this other guy who had been bothering me for a long time now. I have a few bruises next to my eye but nothing serious, though.

Rule #1- You don't pick fights, you win ones that others start. Only Bullies and fools pick fights.
I hope you listen.

LISTEN to what Fathersson said...seriously.

And just look into what he said......you start that fight with that kid and he's going to wind up ending it for you.


You deal with the problems that come to you, when you go looking for trouble you usually wind up not coming out on top.

If you're the one who is gonna start fights then people will think you're an asshole.

Fighting is for self defense. Don't screw with him unless he screws with you first (physically). I think you let Fight Club get to your head. The point of that movie wasn't to go out and kick the shit out of random people. -Pat

If you have to rely on a movie to get ideas on how to protect yourself you're gonna get your ass kicked.

If you are the one to pick fights with others you're gonna lose friends, not win them.

"With great power, comes great responsibility." - Ben Parker

Just because you can kick the guys ass, doesn't mean you should. If the fucker is bothering you and getting physical, sure, knock his block off and pull a Sonny Corleone. But fisticuffs is not always the answer, and rarely a long-term solution, especially with us testosterone-laden males.

Just one more thing I'd like to add.

Don't fight the battle if you can't win the war.

People these days are not stand up guys. (yeah I might only be 19) but heck I've beat the hell out of guys and have gotten the hell beaten out of me. From my experiences, most times when you beat the hell out of someone they go and get their friends and then you got a 4 on 1 fight going on. And like someone said if you are using fightclub to learn how to fight or ANYTHING then you have alot more to learn.

And this might sound dumb but fighting really doesn't solve anything. When you get people to use their own imagination against themselves is what does it. I'm 5'5 160 pounds, I go to school at all times always dressed up and dont take s*** from no one. Well people do not F*** with me because THEY DON'T KNOW WHO I AM. I piss people off and they don't say shit because they have their mind working against them saying this guy is going to kick my ass.

Excellent. Now all you have to do is get someone to record it, make a video and sell them on ebay.

Fuck it, I'm gonna go pick a fight with the smallest person I can find.

Ok, I'm back. I only found a young child and it wouldn't be right to hurt him. Instead I snatched his Mickey Mouse stuffed toy and beat the shit out of it. You should have seen the kids face.

I always thought fight was a guy thing until I watched "Bringing down the house"!
Anyway, I read this on IMDB news yesterday. Now that's what I call a challenge!

Phoenix's Bizarre Wrestling Challenge
Hollywood heart-throb Joaquin Phoenix got more than he bargained for when he appeared on American chat show Thursday morning - a wrestling challenge from his female interviewer. The actor appeared on daytime chat show Live With Regis & Kelly to promote his new movie Ladder 49, when bubbly host Kelly Ripa began boasting about beating him in a thumb-wrestling match when he visited the set two years ago. She then presented him with a new challenge - a leg wrestle. As Phoenix looked on in bemusement, Ripa laid flat on her back on the studio floor, and asked him to get down and join her. After he reluctantly complied, Ripa demonstrated the game, and flipped the actor over with her leg in the process. When Ripa asked if he was ready to play after the demonstration, he shot back, "I thought we just did it for real! Time out... I'm holding on... I'm totally scared."

Michael/Corleone,

NEVER underestimate the power of your enemy! No truer words were ever spoken. In Martial Arts you are taught how to fight and DEFEND yourself. But you are also taught that you should never pick on someone thinking that you can beat them. You just never know, what they actually know in the art of fighting and you just may be in for a surprise. You are taught to asess the situation, always wanting to talk your way out if possible and only to use your fighting skills as a last resort. Not to say that you should wait and be attacked first, but after you've exausted all efforts in asessing the situation and you know that there is absolutely no way out unless you fight, then and only then do you go on the offensive and take the other guy out. If you are attacked, you do what has to be done. If you feel that you are going to be attacked, you stay ready, size up the situation, and then make your move from there. But NEVER bully or pick a fight, because evetually you will pick on the wrong person, who may know more than you do, and get you butt kicked in, or even worse get yourself killed. Not to mention that to pick on people or bully them is just plain wrong.

M/C, when you're big and ugly enough we're gonna have to have a rook sometime.

I don't really fight anymore, Unless it's boxing which is the only type of fighting i get involed in anymore

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear when I said "pick a fight with a guy who had been bothering me (...)". I'm not going to punch him in the face as soon as I see him, instead, I'm gonna wait till he says something to me, push him and start insulting him, perhaps he avoids the fight but perhaps he doesn't. About a week ago, he started fucking with me, so I said to him "let's see if you're a man" and gestured him to come to the bathroom and fight, but the guy just refused to do so and got out of there. I'm just gonna wait till he does something and the next thing he will know is that his face ceased to exist. I'm not much of a strong guy myself, in fact, I could be considered as sort of weak in comparison to other guys at school but the advantage is that I'm like jelly. Because I'm very thin I can dodge every punch and make some light, quick moves.

"M/C, when you're big and ugly enough we're gonna have to have a rook sometime."

Just wait 30 years, and I will be big and ugly enough, hopefully unmarried like to kick any guy's ass.

you pushing him starts the fight when he is just messing with you, I'm not saying wait for him to throw the first punch but you wait for him to at least make some kind of physical gesture, him just talking is nothing and you going over there starts the fight. You have been watching fight club TOO MUCH and seem to be on a power trip right now because you beat some guy up.

If I said something to you f***ing with you or just kdding around and you pushed me I would lay your ass out right there, no questions asked.

and that whole thing about jelly and all that you are just wayyy too confident and you are going to get your ass beat, trust me.

Firstly, welcome back to the warzone.

Fights are horrible. I've had my fair share in the past, never fair ones, always with older students.

MC, if you like the relief you can get from a bit of adrenaline rush and aggression during a fight, I suggest you take up boxing. It keeps you mega fit, maintains a healthy physique, allows you to release your anger under controlled situations, and is essential in the mental element of a fight. Once you've been to a boxing class for a month or two, you'll have the self-discipline required in order to win any fight you need to.

And if watching Fight Club makes you feel better and more confident going into school, then good for you; last time I watched Gladiator, I broke my teacher's jaw the day after. :p

Mick

Before everyone gets mad at MC, check out his picture in the BB Family picture thread.
He isn't going to be no bully. He doesn't look that big. A good wind would blow him over. We are talking kiddie fights here. So let the boy talk big for now. Sooner then later he will grow up and know better.
Until then let him feel like he has hair on his balls

I can beat you all up. Wimps.

Bully.

Whip me, Beat me, take me home and eat me!

Fathersson, that picture was taken about 2 years ago, almost exactly. I hope I am fitter now and, if you are that interested, my balls are very hairy. :p I am 15 years old now.

Mick, how the hell did that happen? How could you even punch your teacher, or was it just an expression?

Oh, I am sorry- You are a 15 year old tuff guy with hairy balls now.

You are still talking like a guy with a paper asshole in a rainstorm. :rolleyes:

Start using your head tuff guy instead of what you think are your real muscles. :rolleyes:

Yea, I do have the urge to take you to a home, tie you up, stick a sock in your mouth and then leave.

I don't think Fight Club's point was to fight other people to help yourself.

And TIS said you were so wild.
NO wonder you don't get called for a 2nd date.

I'm not surprised he didn't come. You'll get a name for yourself you know.

yea, around here, if a guy calls you to come to the bathroom, he isn't looking to fight you, but
******* you.

Have to say you are very cocky for someone that has won 1 fight, You should watch what you say cos 1 day you'll probably piss the wrong guy off and get a beating, and we don't want that now do we?
