Poll: Your fighting style

[Valiance]

Jeet Kun Do.

 

[Nmil-ek]

I know how to box and throw a straight punch thats all you will ever need to get out of most any bar/street fights, try and get them under the jaw or in the stomach, get them down and start going to work on their nuts until they resemble scrambled eggs.

 

[Chipperz]

My first move is to try and confuse them with logic, or just with random words:

"My wall is not four foot tall!"
"...what?"
Chair to the face.

"What came first, the chicken or the egg!?"
"...what?"
Chair to the solaplexus

"If God is all knowing and all powerful then do we as human beings have free will?"
"Well, if we were to examine this from a Kantian perspective, then one could determine-"
Chair to the knee-caps.

Only thing I would not do is go for the genitals, everything else is fair game.

I tried this once in a quick spar me and my mates were doing. It works really, really well. I'll have to remember "My wall is not four foot tall!" - love it

Standard is punching, uppercuts, hooks, just regular fighting, or what some people call Brutal Style

Martial-Arts: jiu-jitsu, king-fu all that asian junk

Wrestling: Elbow drops, pile drivers, sling shot, can-openers


Im Standard style

That's not wrestling, wrestling involves trips, slams, carries, sweeps and grappling.
Martial Arts includes a lot of other things than Asian disciplines, Sambo is Russian, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is amazing, wrestling is Western, Krav Maga I believe is Middle-Eastern (but trainers are rare).

But anyway, I generally stick to Muay Thai (Thai Boxing). The eight point striking system of Muay Thai is absolutely amazing (Kicks, Knees, Elbows, Strikes) and is great not only in a competition but in real life as well, I've only ever had to actually fight someone once since receiving training, and I really shouldn't because I can be charged for more as I have training, I ended the fight in three strikes, right straight, left body jab, elbow to side of the head. Fight over, moron crawls away.

 

[Treefingers]

My fighting style involves shitting my pants and then running as fast as i can.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I do kendo... swords aren't usually at hand though, so I'll just peg it if there's a fight.

Cowardly? Me? Never.

 

[Nutcase]

martial arts. im pretty good when using a sword in the japanese stance.

I can't wait to hear what "japanese stance" is.

 

[Lonely Swordsman]

I own several swords, so I'll use those of possible. In hand to hand combat I go for very basic Jiujitsu or Aikido stuff (wristlock, hammerlock takedown, armbar)
I'm also a bit of a wrestling fanatic. If there's a table or any other high ground nearby, expect a dropkick or a flying elbow at some point or another.

 

[JWAN]

Get in there and improvise. Use what you can to win. (A bit like what you do with your girlfriend....)

e.x Green Berets and an E-tool

Don't forget bends and pressure points. Once you can manipulate another persons pressure points with their own appendages you pretty much win.

Also folding chairs

 

[Arsen]

I swing my wrists around like an uncloseted homo fratboy, kick him in the nuts, poke him in the eyes, punch him in the nose, then run like a woman.

 

[Nuke_em_05]

I use nearby blunt objects... don't know what that falls under.

 

[Souplex]

<- Take a wild guess.

EXACTLY.

 

[tsb247]

I've got a blue belt in karate, but I fight like I've learnt to fight in a line of a hot dog stand. Brutal, savage, quick. Even a black belt karateka could take a beating from an experienced street fighter, in the real world the ceremonies and rules of karate don't apply. Real fighting experience doesn't come from the tatami.

I've gotten into a number of fights, downtown Helsinki after midnight is a violent place. There's skinheads, junkies and all sorts of troublemakers on the move. The way home from the local boozer can be dangerous. Sometimes the lowlifes jump you in hopes of a jackpot in your wallet. The best option is to run, but in some cases I have had to defend myslef. Karate wasn't of much use there.

That's why the Israelis invented Krav Maga.

My fighting style of choice.

It's about fucking the other guy up before he kills you.

EDIT: a couple of videos!

Ok, I shall.

"There are two kinds of people in this world; people with loaded guns, and people who dig"

Do I get it now?

 

[ThreeWords]

I'm a sneaky bastard who uses a mangled cross-breed of martial arts, infused with surprising strength and inbuilt brutality and inventive evil. Basically, I'll pull something from about every martial art, or simply strike out with a cheap but crippling shot. Pressure points are a favourite

 

[Toaster Hunter]

A little bit of everything. I have a black belt in hapkido, but I'm not above kicking someone in the groin and then bashing their head into something solid. For me, there is no such thing as a fair fight.

 

[Stalk3rchief]

Brootal.
I'm a brawler, one of the guys that screams and rushes you. I'd probably lose a fight against someone experienced, but I like to think I'm more than capable of defending myself if the moment calls for it.
