Put up your dukes Escapists! Can you fight?

[Lusperus]

Taekwon: 3 yrs black-belt
Boxing: 4 yrs with a southpaw stance
Krav Maga: 2 months

I've been in about five fights last school
with 3 wins 1 loss and 1 interruption by teachers.

 

[A random person]

Took Shotokan for a year, learned some moves, but in all seriousness probably didn't help that much. Probably has to do with being more suitable for wrestling, since I weight 230 pounds and am about 5'8"-5'9" (not fully grown, just turned 15).

 

[Andalusa]

I see.
That's interesting.
Interesting.

I will take that under advisement.

How is it interesting?

 

[WrongSprite]

I'm Irish. so... take a guess...

I have about 16 yrs of training in disorganized drunken brawling.

I come from the North (of England), so I have many years of training in the ancient Martial Arts of thumpin' people and pie n' mash throwing.

And of course, Ecky Thump.

[small]Please tell me somebody gets that.[/small]

Don't worry I do

 

[ExodusinFlames]

Does "With pillows and baby oil" count as an answer?

I sure hope so.
TO the OP, alot of folks know how to fight, but personally (and alot of others will agree) the true combat is avoiding the fight altogether. I've been in alot of different martial arts over the course of my life, but if anyone were to see me fight, they'd be hardpressed to pick out what tactics are used.

I like to call it my "Mish-mash" techniques. Nothing fair or reasonable. If a person has pushed me to the point of physical violence, there is no chance in hell I'll be merciful about it.

 

[Andalusa]

I just took you for a pacifist, is all.
Interesting is not bad, mind you.

Just interesting.

Well if someone hits me I'm not just gonna sit and take it, but thinking back not many people have actually hit me so I've had no reason to hit them.

I mostly take verbal abuse these days, it's great!

 

[Christemo]

if you give me a small sword, ill have the tip of the blade at your neck in seconds.

but else, i can´t fight in a specific style.

 

[ThatJagoGuy]

I have more than fifteen years of training in Insult Swordfighting. Sensei Threepwood has taught me well.

On the whole, I like to outwit people and humiliate them rather than throw a punch. Having said that, I once hit someone with a bottle... Hmmm.

 

[lordofthepickle]

I can generally stare down opponents with the -...you messin?- look due to the fact I have several inches and stone on everybody I meet. Also enjoy humiliating them with my advanced vocabulary and rapier-like wit. One example of my capability in a fight would be with some pratt who wanted to impress a girl, so landed a fist right in my face, backed away to a safe distance and laughed. I charged him, threw him to the ground and had my shoe in his face in about 5 seconds. I was impressed. The girl wasn't.

 

[Andalusa]

To be fair, you're not a very easy person to hate.

Oh man, dishing out verbal abuse is one of my favourite things ever!
WE SHOULD BE PALS

Plenty of people do, though. But I know why, it's a mutual thing so I'm not bothered.

The thing that makes it 10520% better for me is that I'm usually a quiet person, they just don't expect it.
YES WE SHOULD

 

[Agent Larkin]

I dont fight .....
I BRAWL that being i dont fight by any formal rules i just jump in and try to hurt them as much as i can. If i get very angry though Ill have a rage blackout. I dont know what happens then but usually when I come through my hands are being prised off the other persons throat before i kill them.

 

[Legion]

I'm a black belt in Karate, although outside of competitions I have never needed to use it, so the realistic answer is "I don't know".

I can usually talk myself out of those kinds of thing anyway.

 

[Andalusa]

Why?

That is a lot of percentage.
OH OKAY COOL I WILL PICK YOU UP SO WE CAN GO DRINKING AND WHATEVER ELSE IT IS PALS DO (besides speak really loudly)

Well, I was never in with the popular crowd at school, for some reason they singled me out and were horrible to me all the time. Spreading rumours, stealing my things 'til one day I snapped and started getting back at them. Ever since then there's been a mutual hatred between us, no one questions it but they don't really mess with me any more.

Indeed it is.
AWESOME AND I'M GOING TO STOP TALKING LOUDLY because people will look at me funny.

 

[LopezMeister]

I have developed my own fighting style that mainly relies on the use of one's head as a weapon supplemented by a firearm of the user's choice. I must say that it has not yet failed me.

Haha, all Irish people are naturally good at fighting! They have to survive in the bars somehow.
