Put up your dukes Escapists! Can you fight?

[Yokai]

I know a good deal of Taekwondo, but whether I'd retain any of it in an actual fight remains to be seen.

 

[Susan Arendt]

I've only done a bit of plain old kickboxing, but yes, I can do some damage in a fight, if need be. That's mostly due to preconceived notions, though. Guys expect girls to fight stupidly, because most girls do. They expect you to go straight for their nards, instead of, say, hitting them in the throat.

 

[Lyri]

Properly?
No. I took a few years of martial arts, but I don't have those memories anymore, except for the vague knowledge that it happened.

Do I know how to win?
Yes.
I never lose a fight because what I lack in brute strength or technique I make up for in viciousness.
I will do whatever it takes to win, even if that means sinking my teeth into someone's throat while jabbing out their eyes and kneeing them in the groin.

Exactly the same, I did Karate and I retain a few tricks but I can't remember much except that I've done it.

I don't fight, I'm not worried about what they do to me but what I'll do to them given half the chance.
I've given away three knives because I've nearly shanked my mothers ex boyfriend three times.
I'm a dirty fighter, I don't really care for being nice, if you have an earing I'll give it a damn good yank and rip off your lobe.
I'll do whatever I can to win.

My father was green beret and showed me some crazy stuff can't really find anyone who wants to find out if it works in a real fight though.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Not unless I'm angry.
It's kind of weird. Most people have to have a cool head to fight properly, but when I'm not angry, I'm too afraid of hurting my opponent to actually, y'know, hurt them.
I'm fantastic at soaking up damage, though.
I'm like an IRL tank!

Properly?
No. I took a few years of martial arts, but I don't have those memories anymore, except for the vague knowledge that it happened.

Same. I am vaguely aware that lessons took place, I cannot for the life of me remember anything of them.
Same goes for piano and tin-whistle.

EDIT:

I never really got "honor" or whatever.
Okay, congratulations, you're the "honorable" one.
Now go pick up your teeth so I can drive you to the emergency room, you dumbass.

Y'know, sometimes us "honorable" twats can't actually help ourselves.
If I take too many hits to the head, I will actually let people out of headlocks because it's not "chivilrous".
I do not do this to feel special. I do this because it's been programmed into me by my goddamn new-age hippy mother.
I wish I could fight dirty. I really do. But I can't.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

No matter how well you can fight, you only need to lose once.

 

[Andalusa]

I've taken self defence classes, but to be honest, I don't really think I'll find myself in or put myself in a situation where I'll need to use it.
Then again, when I get angry the red mist just comes down, but I tend to vent on inanimate objects rather than people, but if I needed to hurt someone I would.
I'd feel bad about it later though.

 

[scotth266]

Used to practice Tae Kwon Do. We moved away from the place that taught it though.

 

[Lyri]

Most of the fights I've been in have been at school, so I never had an actual weapon, but I usually made due with whatever was relatively pointy and nearby - I have caused some serious scarring with pens and the like.
A friend and I used to stab eachother with pencils and such on the bus ride home.
We both went home with blood running down our arms from the numerous stab wounds - it was actually pretty fun, though.
It's where I realized that just because something isn't a manly weapon of manliness doesn't mean it's not effective.

I never really got "honor" or whatever.
Okay, congratulations, you're the "honorable" one.

Back when it was ok for Teachers to hit children in school, my gran did walk into the class room and beat the tar out of my fathers Maths teachers with an umbrella.
Manly weapons are fun but you can't overlook the other options, beating someone with their own shoes is hilarious.

Being honourable in a fight is just giving people like us something to exploit. For instance, people who won't stoop to groin shots.
Fantastic, I will.

 

[Eatspeeple]

The last time I was in a fight I ended up hospitalised, so I'll be in the corner with a bucket on my head as soon as one starts.

 

[Kasawd]

I have been boxing for somewhere in the neighbourhood of five years. I also learned how to kick effectively and spar with my blackbelt friend to perfect my kicing to punching style. I suppose you could call it a new type.

 

[Wilfy]

I've never actually taken any classes, but I have an older brother who used to love to beat the crap out of me. It sort of forced me learn how to fight back. I can hold my own against him now and whenever me and my friends wrestle on the trampoline, I always win. Of course, I have done trampolining for six years, so I guess that helps me a bit.
I'd love to learn a martial art, particularly Muai Thai or Kickboxing, but I don't have the time or money unfortunately.

 

[hippykiller]

i have been doing Kempo style martial arts for 8 years now and i just recently got my black belt.

 

[Sparrow]

Rough and rugged boxing classes with five years of non-belt specific Judo (To people who don't know what that is, it effectively means I was solo tutoured and I don't progress in belts) has made me quite a stern mofo in a fight. Plus, I play Rugby. Proper Rugby.

Although, I'm quite broad shouldered so nobody really ever picks a fight. I usually start the fights actually.

 

[Andalusa]

I somehow have a hard time believing you'd ever hurt anyone intentionally.

If someone hurt me I would hurt them. An eye for an eye.
Unless of course it was an accident.
But like I said, I would feel bad about it.

 

[Shock and Awe]

I can fight pretty good, I can take anyone my size, but I hate fighting when I dont need to.

 

[midpipps]

I do not fight I hit a guy once and felt horrible for it never got in a fight again. Better to defuse situation or if all else fails I am pretty good at running like hell.
