Ever Been In A Fight?

I've never been in a fight before. I've just always gotten along with people or at least knew how to get out of something without fighting.
My friends and I were talking about this today and some of them thought it was weird that some of us have never been in a fight before.
I guess I just know how to stay out of trouble. I know sometimes things can happen like with total strangers and stuff, but I have been lucky so far. And all through school and growing up, I just never really cared to argue with someone to the point where fists were the only thing left. It's not that I'm scared of anyone, I just never have been that mad at someone.
There were some of my other friends that have never fought either.
I kind of thought it was strange that some of the others thought never being in a fight was so impossible.

plenty.
i had my jaw broken which than was wired shut for 6-8 weeks. drank through a straw.
this was because i didnt want to share my ham and cheese hero with a fellow football teammate in high school. the melee was broken up in the locker room. practice ensued. i forgot all about it.
than talking with a friend after practice, i was sucker punched from the side, square on the lower jaw.
i blacked out very briefly, saw stars...well white dots with vision narrowed, turned to see wtf and saw my attacker with his arms up in fists kinda dancing around me.
i was huddled by my friend, fight over.
the worst was passing that mother fucker in the halls at school, not being able to do anything due to my jaw.
he was removed from the team.
plenty. 2 close friends claim i did the sickest thing they'd ever saw in a fight. it involved subway stairs and me throwing myself and him (him on bottom ) horizontally down the stairs. i leapt to ensure he would break my fall and be very hurt. we flew halfway down and i slid with him the other half. he was pretty defenseless after that.

Well their was this one time back in preschool..stomped that kid's ass.
But no, beyond that ive never gotten into a fight, most things can be solved with words.
I've been in about under a dozen. Even though I'm a martial artist, I really don't like to hurt people, but you have to protect yourself before protecting others. Last fight I had I made a topic about it, but I'm not digging for it. I see all situations can be solved without fighting, but not everybody sees it that way and they have to be taught. Easy way or the hard way?

Never wow.
I have faught with students, with teachers, with mom, dad, sis, brother, police officer and a doctor who I hit in the *.
(oh, and I'm a girl)
I've been in my share. There was a time, when I was slightly younger, that I enjoyed the rush. I no longer do, there is nothing pleasant about fighting. I haven't been in an actual fist fight in years, and I hope to keep it that way. Even when I liked to fight, there was always a moment of shear terror for me, a hump that I had to get over. It's like that moment just before you decide to leap off of a tall object, hesitation and fear. It's a point that you push past, accept the fact that you're suddenly in a bizarre situation where someone is hitting you and you are hitting them. Once past that I never had any trouble.
I think the most unpleasant thing for me was being hit in the face. It's jarring, and it makes me angry. Generally being angry was how I fought, though. The frightening thing that I find about myself is that in a fight, once I get angry I lose certain standards of behavior. What I mean is it was like a snap to some kind of survival thinking. I never thought of a fight as anything but survival, life and death. So I never felt bad about doing terrible things to people. In my most monstrous moments I've nearly killed people. There are two incidents that stand out to me. One was when I strangled someone to the point they were blue in the face. The other was when I was jumped by three people, and in desperation I stabbed one in the neck with a pen, broke another's fingers (scaring two off), and held the third's head in a fountain. Sometimes I wonder if being able to do these things makes me a bad person, but I generally dismiss that thought. All of those fights, in the end, were with horrible people who had alot of punishment coming to them.
The worst fight I've ever been in I didn't really get hurt, but was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. Someone pulled a knife on me, and I pulled one on them to defend myself. The whole incident was just a blur of fear and frenzy, I felt like a cornered animal. It was brief, we traded a few shots and I managed to dodge or block everything he threw at me, then he kind of backed off and ran away. The first thing I did was run to a nearby public bathroom. I sat in front of a mirror like some kind of obsessive compulsive nutjob checked every inch of myself. I was convinced I'd been stabbed, but I didn't have a scratch on me. About that time I noticed my knife was bloody; I must have sliced the guy in the middle of the fight, and I don't even remember doing anything but trying to not get hit. I was so freaked out that I just wrapped the knife in a paper towel and dropped it in the trash. That was about the time I decided I needed to move far, far away, that I was sick of being in a bad area.
I've heard lots of people talk about how being in a fight is some kind of transcendental experience. That's all bullshit. Being in a fight is anything from unpleasant to outright terrifying. If you've never been in one, be grateful and try to stay that way. That movie Fight Club has it all wrong; you're not going to find yourself or be a better person getting your skull cracked open. There's nothing cool or good about fighting. Self defense is one thing, that's all fine, but not being in a fight is a good thing, and yo should remember that.
yea..my wife kicks my butt all the time.My dad use to give me and my brothers boxing gloves to settle disputes between us all the time,needless to say I'm a vary good boxer.Ive been throw out of school at least 3 times for fighting over girls.last fight was at the village store which is a gathering place in the neighborhood,some fool was ruining his mouth at this fine babe that walk in the store,which is rare where i live because of the RIF-Rafe that hangs out their.Didn't last long considering i have 6 yrs of taek-wondo under by belt.My dads bother had a school.made red belt with 3 black stripe's,before i got kicked out for fighting.You can't tell by the pic i put up but got a major scar on my face from being hit with bud bottle.If i was a animal i would be a badger.

too much
What does the sign say that the people are marching with?
Been in a few, i never start them though. My fondest memory in my mid twenties was this assclown who thought he was all shit hot (he was a black belt in some martial art). Took him down in two punches and he never even got to lay a hand on me. Just goes to show that just cause you have training doesnt mean squat if you get hit. He wasn't a show boat after that, at least not around me.

me too..i don't like fighting with others..it's stupid..hurt others and hurt myself as well LOL what couldn't be solved without fighting?
I had a short fight down near Miami. Wasn't really a fight. It involved a lot of booze, nightclub, and trash talk. Ended with guy sucker punching me through the window in my car. A broken nose causes a lot of blood and sucks when you go to work with 2 black eyes from broken nose. The only good thing was seeing the cops take the guy down. Don't know where they came from and don't know how I drove away without them stopping me. It was all a blur. Oh to be yourng again!
I had a few Soju nights in Korea that should have been fights but cooler heads were around to protect me. I actually told a guy I was gonna kick his ass and he said he was getting the cops. I said "Go for it! I am waiting" and I did wait......they never came. I have been blessed....and have gave up that life.

I have been in four fights in my life. I am by no way a huge guy (5'11" and about 215lbs) but I hold myself in a manner that usually keeps people from messing with me. (I am also extremely barrel chested and have really large shoulders)
When I was a kid I had a guy throw a punch at me which I blocked and then my cousin (it was his birthday party) knocked the kids front tooth out. (while I never got into many fights my cousin had a bit of a temper and was also over 6 feet tall when we were in middle school)
In Highschool I had a guy grab me and throw me down to the ground in the middle of lunch. That one wasn't much of a fight though as I just got right up flipped him off and told him to f@*k himself.
Also, in Highschool I had a guy try to jump me from behind. I grabbed him and flipped him over my shoulder which pretty much ended that fight.
While stationed in Iceland several friends and I were out at a club. A fight broke out between some Navy guys and some Icelandics. The Provost Marshal was watching so when my friend tried to enter the fight I caught his arm (mid punch) right at the elbow with my arm. Which kept us out of trouble.
I have never had to actually punch anyone (unless you count giving my Uncle a bloody nose when I was 3). It was funny that I gave my Uncle a bloody nose too because he is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (sp?) and also that form of Martial Arts that teaches only death blows (Hap something I think it is called). So to this day (and that was 26 years ago) my Aunt still reminds him that I can kick is butt.

There was a time I couldn't go to the subway in brussels without either getting my money stolen , spit on or harassed by foreigners. I cried a lot, and it really scarred me. People didn't bully, they just made you cry and hurt you emotionally, spitting, stealing, stealing your schoolbag so you got a 0, stealing your clothes during gym and setting them on fire etc. I totally hated any foreigner with disgust, I had nazi flags and joined a group of skinheads. I was happy I found people who helped me luckily.
I grew up watching this www.youtube.com/watch
I've been in a few fight's in my lifetime I don't brag about them though.
Most of the time It's when someone is drunk or its over some female.
When I was twenty I hit 300 pounds in weight since then Ive been hitting the gym with my buddies i've even taken boxing and MMA classes and still continue training to this day.
I've never lost a fight and if i did i would be pissed at my trainers lol.

got in one in ele school. I try to avoid fights and stop them from happening
I've been in several, though I didn't start any of them and most of them were when I was around middle school- high school age
My favorite was in the seventh grade where I threw a kid across the room and then when he got up I kicked him square in the gut and dropped him right back down...I'm a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and all I remember is the voice of some black girl that was near by going "HE KICKED HIM!"
It was funny.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
Im just finishing what you would call high school, getting ma results next thursday
but anyways in my time here i've been in a couple of fights. Im just that sort of guy who doesnt stand for bullshi*. Most of them have been for sticking for a friend who backsdown or gets bullied, i won't say i've won all my fights because i haven't but even i did get battered which never really happened it was worth it because those guys who go round bullying people need to be taught a lesson. I've taken up boxing and since everyones heard about it no one really messes with me anymore. I hate people who fight for fun because that just makes me sick. I've only ever backed down from a fight with some pot head in my school who was probably gonna get some dealers on me (luckily i don't live anywhere near my school so they could never really find me). When your fighting you do get a sort of adrenaline rush but its not a thrill but it's more like get this over and done with. Not getting fights by backing down is good but watching someone else get battered up instead or not sticking for someone is cowardly in my opinion.

No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
WTF was that?!?!?!

This reminds me of a story.....
My loving wife likes to pick fights and try to get me involved. One day at a soccer game she started yelling at a woman in front of her to sit down so she could see. The woman turned around and started yelling back, then the woman's husband joined in. My wife turned to me and asked if I was going to let them get away with it. I was standing about 20 feet away talking to a guy I know named Warren. I asked Warren to pretend he was my wife's husband and go up there and tell that 6'4" guy to back off or he was going to kick his ass. Warren was laughing, and so was I. The guy and his wife just looked confused, like what was going on, and my wife was getting mad at me for not defending her.
I simply told her that, if she wanted to pick a fight and watch me get my ass kicked, she was on her own, and to let me know later how well that worked for her.
Chivalry is dead in me, I am not about to suffer because my wife wants to see me get my ass kicked as delightful revenge for some perceived wrong that she feels I did her.
Married life is wonderful. If you want to fight all the time, just get married.
