How to fight.

[emeraldrafael]

...I don't even know why I'm going to argue this...

Besides, its what my uncle taught me, and its what they taught him in the marines.

You know why that might be? Because the Marines are a branch of the United States military and their job is to enter situations in which people are trying to kill them! They fight to kill because if they don't, they'll die! Going overseas to fight wars and protect the citizens of your nation is just slightly above "fight the schoolyard bully" on the totem poll of "force needed to end conflict". You're essentially telling someone to gouge someone in the temple with a car key because, what, he stole someone's lunch money? Seriously dude, get help if you don't see what's wrong with that statement.

Someone who's beaten won't be challenging another person anytime soon, especially if you won convincingly enough. It's an ego bust and that's all. Lethal force (and that's exactly what you've condoned, in detail no less) is reserved for last case scenarios in life threatening situations! Fighting to kill is indirectly telling this guy to kill whoever he's fighting. If you need to break five bones in a man's body to make him feel threatened by you, you really need to learn how to handle yourself better, because there are far more efficient and less dangerous ways of doing that.

Like i could shoot him? Or stab him? go ahead, tell me. Tell me what are more efficient ways that are less dangerous. I've been stabbed before (not with a knife, with a key, and i have a nice little scar on my side above my kidney), I think i have the right to over react abit. A fight is a fight. To quote Rocky IV, "if he dies, he dies".

And regardless what the marines taught my uncle and for what purpose, its self defense. So maybe I'm a bad person because of this. I'll tell you something, because i fight this way, I've kept alot more of my friends safer.

As for the ego thing, if the person he's fighting is as bad as he wants us to think, That deflated ego is only going ot make them want to get it back. When somone is on a high horse, they wnat to stay on, they like the view.

So no, I dont need to control my anger. and no, I'm not telling him to kill him. directly or indirectly. Everyone who suggested a gun or a knife can be told the same thing. I simply stated how he could fight and defend himself without knives or guns. I dont go out and do this to everyone i see, I dfend myself with it. Most of the tactics I stated will only hurt, not kill. After a few weeks they'll be back up, but they'll just remember not to do that again. In comparison to a kick to the nuts that smarts for a day and then the next they just know to close their legs. Ask anyone who knows me personally, and they'll tell you that i'm a good guy underneath it all, and the last person to resort to violence.

So in a way, when i fight, it is a last ditch effort.

Hence why its so effective, strike first and strike hard and your opponent will never have a chance.

I'm all for non-viloent methods of resolving a conflict, however somtimes violance is the only (and normaly) last option. OP asked for methods and i offered some. Personally i would use locks, holds and arm bars to force my opponent into submission and try to reason with him but then i do have 6 years military training to fall back on so i would be at an advantage. However not everyone has had the same training so they do need to know how to quickly and effectivly end a fight without getting themselves hurt.

Side-step his attack, and together with a small sweep-kick, take him and use his own weight against him...
But the best thing is always not to fight, if you can avoid it...

 

[brainslurper]

hit him right below the center of his ribs, he will lose his breath. with the lower palm of your hand hit him as hard as you can in his ribs. he will be completely disoriented, so it is safe to kick him and he wont be able to grab your foot. then just push him over and over again and step on his feet till he falls. then pin his arms with your knees, and then slap him over and over again till um wait.

OP ignore the vast majority of this. You already know my opinion. Good luck BTW.

Besides, its what my uncle taught me, and its what they taught him in the marines. So if its good for the US Marines, its good for me and should be good for anyone else.

Tell us again how peace loving you are. That was funny in the last thread. Give advice on how to committ predemitated assualt on someone who's only crime is being a douchebag. Say you are peaceful.

 

[blankedboy]

Two words.

Lead. Pipe.

what? i said i use it as self defense. also, if you're going to quote me, make sure you actually quote me.

Fine, I'll put it this way then. the Army doesnt make you a killer. You dont go into the army as a pacifist and come out as a homicidal maniac. No branch of the US military does that to you. Its the same way with me. I Learn for self defense. i dont go beating down random people and i've never instigated a fight in recent years (sure, i did when i was yougner, like FIVE but not after i turned EIGHT). I'm not a big person. So i need something to show that people with 20, 30, 50 lbs on me that i am their equal.

 

[Instant K4rma]

As said before me, aim for the neck and groin. I suggest an open hand strike to his neck, followed by a swift boot to the groin as he clenches his throat.

 

[Triangulon]

Am I the only person here disconcerted that people are advicing someone entering into what sounds like a schoolyard fight to get all fairbairn and potentially kill the other kid?

On another note I really hope that Jack Thompson or Tipper Gore don't ever find this thread, nothing says video games encourage violence like a group of gamers in a forum on a gaming website telling another gamer how to maim or possibly kill someone because another gamer ask how to win a fight they were preparing to have.

This. Don't fight its not worth it. You could get hurt or hurt the other party and then you will be in serious trouble. Most of the tips on here could kill them. It doesn't matter whether its self-defence or not. If you can't talk your way out then run. Simples. Tough the stick out and you'll grow up and it won't matter. Be the bigger person. I was bullied something awful at school and took up martial arts as a result. Thankfully I've never had to use it to fight someone (except tournaments and the like). I wouldn't want to get in a fight as I could genuinly hurt someone. Just take a moment to think about the potential consequences of your actions. Could you live with yourself if you killed or maimed someone over this?

Also, shame on those of you encouraging this. Its not big and its not clever. Sure I do kind of buy into the 'jocks are evil thing' but why should you respond in kind with mindless violence. Come on. Surely we escapists are better than that?

eat a bannana

Is this why? Is op banana man?

 

[dark-amon]

In a fight victory is the only importance, everything is permitted. My recomendation is the krav maga special: knee repetatly in the groin. An elbow-uppercut is a nice finish.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Are you looking for an honorable mono y mono thing, or do you just want to fuck him up.

If it's the first one, just do what seems natural. If it's the second, the first thing you should do is punch him in the throat when he's not expecting it, then work him over while he's trying to catch his breath. You'll probably get tired of hitting him before he can even hit back.

1. You dont have to use violence to solve things, it can just make people lose respect in you, and even if it does, you may gain a reputation for being violent which can scare off people

2.You dont know if this guy has any martial arts experience or if he boxes or something

3. You dont seem to have any experience with combat arts, so a lot of the things people suggest to you will be lost or forgotten by the time you fight (if you do)

My advice, find some way to solve your situation without fighting and risking your reputation, pride, and limbs. Just ignore the guy. And if you really have to have fight him, dont try anything fancy, just go for the areas that would hurt him most

 

[silasbufu]

with any luck, i am going to get into a fight tomorrow at school. This guy is the biggest douche ever and keeps walking all over me and i about to do something if he doesn't stop screwing with me. Any tips on how to win a fight? i am pretty confident i can win but some tips couldn't hurt.

Punch him in the chin and a bit to the side. If you do it well and you have enough punch strength you'll cause his cortex to fail because of the violent way his head is going to move and he'll be knocked out for some time.

 

[HandfulofWolf]

Listen mate, Theory is all good and well but if you haven't trained there's only one thing to do. Because you won't be doing some super special throat strike when you've got fists coming at your face.

My advice: Don't worry about the first punch it never goes how you want. Just get the first one out of the way and you'll find your rhythm as you go. Knee a lot and be ready to bite the shit out of him. You're trying to win here.

The most important part is to get jacked up. Think about something to make you mad. Really fucking mad. If you've got a pet think that he's kicked it and get stuck in!

Good luck mate.

 

[Tekkawarrior]

He's fighting today, hope we hear some good news, which would either be kicking the bullies ass or making friends with him.

 

[rabidmidget]

A weak spot it just below the nose, between the nostrils, if you drive your knuckle there when you punch it can really hurt.

 

[Epilepsy]

Firstly don't allow yourself to be nervous, easier said than done, but being jittery can really screw you over. If you have some method of relaxation or something you do to calm pre-test nerves, i suggest employing it.

Go in fast and hard. Don't hold back or give him the opportunity to build momentum. If you have a longer reach, stay out of his. If you can, try and predict his attacks, a little bruise on your elbow hurts a lot less than a punch to the face. Put as much power into blocks as you would an attack, a lot of people who's only ever seen blocks get their guard broken cause they underestimate the power behind a punch.

Always follow through your attack, punch like you're trying to hit something behind your target. A quick disorienting punch followed by a heavier attack is a lethal combo.

Kicks will only serve to destabilise you. Unless you have the opportunity for a knee, don't bother.

Don't be afraid to hurt, or be hurt. Humans are surprisingly resilient. I don't advocate emerald-morons advice to put him in hospital however, most bullies and smarmy pricks will back down once they realise it will not be an easy fight, unless he's been gearing up to fight as well, i don't really know your circumstances.

In any case, fight only as long as you need to to defend yourself, or if you're the instigator, to get your point across. You'll want the moral victory here, for more reasons than one. The self defence argument falls a little shallow if you're seen kicking a downed opponent, and if you let him leave with the majority of his limbs and dignity intact, he's less likely to retaliate. The best black belt in the world would have trouble with four pissed off opponents twice his size.

In all honesty though, avoid fighting when you can. The bigger man always avoids conflict, so unless you REALLY have no choice, try to solve it with words. Violence is your absolute last resort, though it's the most effective one

 

[370999]

what? i said i use it as self defense. also, if you're going to quote me, make sure you actually quote me.

I presume you have a basic level reading comprehension. You can read the OP that stated the intent was to get into a fight to "teach a lesson", not that the OP felt he had no choice.

Fine, I'll put it this way then. the Army doesnt make you a killer. You dont go into the army as a pacifist and come out as a homicidal maniac[/qipte]

You believe there is no behavioural modification going on in the army? Really?

My advice, find some way to solve your situation without fighting and risking your reputation, pride, and limbs. Just ignore the guy. And if you really have to have fight him, dont try anything fancy, just go for the areas that would hurt him most

Award goes to you for Being so blinding obvious but likely to be drownded out by infantile fantasies.
