Fights...

[Bing]

[size=1][color=darkblue]In my local area, many people have been getting into fights. They are either picked on, and forced to fight, or they are actually starting it. I have noticed an increase in the amount of news I hear, on how somebody has done this to some one else etc.
From stupid little scuffles, to actual bodily harm, from bar brawls, to huge gang fights, it's all happening. One guy in the year above me, got his eyebrow ring ripped out (yeesh)!
So anyway, to the point of this thread. What do you do if somebody starts on you? What is your style of fighting? What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?

Look Forward to reading about your thoughts and experiences!

Well I can tell you that imho, fighting is wrong.

However, I know you cant always dodge a fight.

So just remember to be careful.

As for how I approach a fight... just remember that you should never push someone.

Also, remember that a young man will hit you, but an old man will kill.

[The One]

[color=darkred]I remeber at least 3 threads with this topic, perhaps one might post in one of them... But, it's not my place to say. If you want to know my opinion on fighting, you can go find the other thread :p.

Also I should think Transtic Nerve might have something to say about this, hehe, he did in the last few threads with this type of title ;).[/color]

[Bing]

[size=1][color=darkblue]Ah, if this goes no where, he can close it. I don't mind. I will delete it myself if I think it's going off-topic.
I know that fights should be avoided, and fighting is never right, but what about self defense?[/color][/size]

[vegeta rocker]

I remember how aggravated TN sounded about fights.....
anyway well i have a style of fighting......trying as hard as i can not to. I do damage, i feel so guilty when it happens.
Would i help someone? It depends on the person.
Would i interfere with a group? What are you insane! You want me to jump in the middle of a literal gang war!
I think ill just watch thank you very much.

[Bing]

[size=1][color=darkblue] That's what happened in my school today. Everyone just followed these two fighters around, no one interefered, or stopped them fighting, they just watched, like animals. It was pretty awful to see from a distance. I would feel so scared if I was in the middle of the gathering, in the fight.
I am not promoting fighting here, I am kind of seeking advice on what to do if I see that happening, and what you guys would do![/color][/size]

[Spikey]

[COLOR=firebrick]Well I don't get picked on that much, sometimes I just walk away. But when something gets serious, for instance like when they do it every day, I usually tell. But that doesn't happen to often.

I have only been in a fight once, and that was a while back. I can't remember exactly how it got started but the other guy wouldn't leave me alone so I just started hitting him. Then I got sent to the principles office, and yadda yadda.

I've seen a lot of people get in fights, but never anything gun needed. Nothing like people on drugs and going wack like hitting each other. Nothing like that, just little fights over tiny things.

I have only been in a fight once, but I sure have seen many. I hope I don't get in many fights in the future, I'll be moving up to 12th , and collage. Let's just hope some people have learned stuff by then.[/color]

Since last week, there's been a 'gang vs gang vs gang' thing at our school.

It's all Year 10s too. (9th Graders/whatever)

All the senior teachers at lunch and at the end of school watch each entrance to the school, including the Head.

Today, one kid was beaten up by a whole load of others on the way to school. After he was down for a while, they told him to get up. So he took out one of them extendable baton things, hit a few and ran. He has a bulging lump over his eye; a cut lip; a broken nose; and bruises all over his back.

I heard another kid got kicked on his jaw while he was down last week, but I'm not sure on this one.

SMD vs WMD vs WPC

[/b]Seriously scary.

---------------

-When someone starts on me, I tend to make everything seem less serious than it actually is..so i kinda dissolves. Or my friends ask me what's going on, and they get scared and walk away. ^_^
-My style? I wouldn't know because I haven't gotten into a real fight yet. But I do be taking some Martial Arts.
-If my friends were being picked on, I'd go in and argue. I'm good at solving things with my mouth. If my friends were picking on someone, I'd go and talk again. I have a handy mouth. If I didn't know either of the two groups...I wouldn't do anything[/size]

[Shinobi]

Ok, put it this way...Fight may be "wrong" and the usual "never do it" kinda stuff, but my veiw is, is you want to DO IT! I don't mean walk about picking fights i mean, if there is a reason then fight if you cant settle it any other way. I can't help it, Dad was like that, my brother is a frickin Psycho when he is angry and well, when i am offended or angered at someone, i just o into a kind of "Fight Mode". Obviously i try and talk it out, but that usually doesnt work for me, i usually start talking it out, they come out with some smart as comment, then raised voices, shouting and finally the fight has begun. I only fight, mainly because i can, even if the guy is better than me, if he has seriously offeded me, i would rather get beat down on fighting than let him offend me more and more then beat down on me. I will only fight, if need be, and i admit, sometimes the fight starts because of me, because whne i am "talking it out" i get angry when "talking it out". I dunno, i just cant help but stand up for myself, i aint one to take sh*t lying down. Ok, now to answer some of the questions:

[b]What would you do if someone started on you?[/b]


Firstly, this is MY opinion, i know what I a capale of so this is what I would do. I would ask the guy firstly, Why is he startin' on me. Usually the reply is Bull, so i come back with something showing it is bull. He will usually start shouting, i get angry and also start shouting, he will insult me through my family or something like that and i will loose it and the fight would begin. I would usually try and get them on the deck, then sit on top of them pinning down their arms and hook left and right into their face, thats my usual tactic, firslty get them on floor.

[b]What is your style[/b]

Slug them, brawl, if need be use every part of your body. I never start fights, so they started it, so make the look like a fool, you finish it.

[b]What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/b]

Depends who is fighting. If it is a gang of who I know, who is beating on one person i like better. I would tell them to lay off, if they started to push me around i would try and run firstly, if they catch up, turn round ad fight a few then run again, lol. If it was people i didn;t like/know/care about i would just walk on by.

And that concludes my post on brawling.

[Genkai]

I do Kung Fu and some other martial arts, so I fight in hat sense, but the kind of fighting you speak of is wrong, imho.

If someone tries to pick a fight with me, I [b]try[/b] to get out of it, but it can't always happen. Then I just defend myself until the person backs off. Hopefully I won't have to hurt them.

I've only gotten into two major fights in my life. One time, I was in 4th grade and some 7th graders tried to pick a fight with a few of my friends and me. We had 3 4th graders, 1 5th grader, and 1 6th grader..There were were 5 7th graders.. But [b]all[/b] of us did some form of martial arts for at least 2 years, so we defended ourselves and got away,

The other time my. er, opponent wasn't so lucky., They were really persistant and had landed one really good punch on my cheek. It was just us behind the school, and I was [b]pissed off[/b], so I kicked his ***.. Then helped him up and helped him home since I felt bad...

I hope I don't have to get into anymore... It's becoming more common now though, since people are getting cockier and cockier... So it'll become harder...oy.

[Kinetic]

[color=darkblue]
Well, I personally don't like fighting but it is becoming more and more common as you said and the tension is growing. There are two people at my school I'll probably end up getting in a fight with by the end of the year. It's not correct to fight, but if need be, I say that you should defend yourself.

[b]What do you do if somebody starts on you?[/b]

That actually happens to me alot. Just the two I spoke of mostly. If they start to mess with me I simply tell them to screw off or that I'll kick their *** and they usually stare at me but I ignore them. Try to avoid it, but if they start screwing with you, I would retaliate but only if they start it.

[b]What is your style of fighting?[/b]

I don't really have one, I just start looking for openings and try to get them where it hurts (no, low blows are painful, although many people seem to go for that, freaking jerks).

[b]What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/b]

Like the others have said, it depends on the people. If it's someone I know and they're my friend, I'll obviously help out, although my friends didn't really help when I was being choked out multiple times. If it's someone I don't really know I'll probably tell them to lay off because no one deserves to be beaten. They'll probably beat me as well, but I'll get some hits in there at least.

As of late, my morale is not that high and the chances of a fight are a lot higher. I've been pissing many people off and 3 guys years older than me were searching for me and were going to break my leg in 6 places but I avoided it.

Don't try to get into fights, but don't back out, you'll only get grief for that.

[Juu]

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]There's tons of fights at my school. Everday in fact. Alot of them happen to be between a fewof my guyfriends... although I never get involved. One funny thing is, I've seen this guy in the sixth grade, start swearing at this guy in my class about twice his size. oO; It was unusual, and the muni driver had to stop the bus and make them stop.

[b]What do you do when someone starts on you?[/b]

I really don't do anything. I pretend I don't care until I eventually make them feel as if they're just annoying me rather than hurt my feelings. It's really easy. I've had some experiance in acting...

[b]What's your style of fighting?[/b]

Throwing marshmellows! ^^

..umm I guess I really don't have one. I don't really need one either. I don't get picked on that much, so I just prefer not to care. My dad did teach me tae kwon do until last year, but I prefer the 'paper-slapping' routine. ^_-

[b]What would you do if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/b]

Absolutely nothing. It's none of my business, so I might as well stay out of it. If one of my friends are getting hurt, I just tell them to not waste their time on them, and find something better to do. Usually, I try my best to stay away from fights. It's really easy to avoid if you really want to.[/color] [/size]

[Sara]

[size=1][b]What do you do when someone starts on you?[/b]

I walk away. It's not worth it.

[b]What's your style of fighting?[/b]

Scathing remarks.

[b]What would you do if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/b]

Tell someone who had the authority and/or ability to break it up.

I've come close to stepping between two....ah...[i]parties[/i], and I'm glad I didn't. It would have been incredibly stupid and dangerous.

There are few things worth risking harm to myself, and I sincerely hope I never have to face any of them.[/size]

[BigCajones]

[B]What do you do if somebody starts on you?[/B] Well I try to avoid having a fight in any and every way possible. I find it extremely embarrassing having fights (don't ask why), all these people watching and shouting abuse it's really annoying. I also get intimidated quite easy, even with small people when they get really angry! Usually if I get into a fight it's because I've probably gone and done something stupid to annoy someone or some hardknut is mucking about being stupid. Some groups of 'rude boys' have just ran over and trampled on my group of friends, I just run and don't look back!

[B]What is your style of fighting?[/B] Well recent little scruff ups after getting egged on (highly annoying), I've found kicking your opponent in the lower regions is always a treat lol. If I was in a fight I think I would get more use out of my legs (being quite long lol), I prefer kicking to punching. If I'm just play fighting with mates I like to do old-school wrestling on them as we're just mucking around. :)

[B]What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/B] Ahhh erm ... Well it depends on how old and hard they look really. I wouldn't be stupid enough to get involved I would probably just stand well back and gaze at how are world is getting more and more unsafer with these hardknut yobs. I remember a stupid incident where this group of four 'rude boys' were attacking me for some reason, I think I wouldn't do something for them so that automatically turns into a fight in their dumb eyes. I stupidly kept saying "is that all you've got" or attacking one of them when they were going to leave it. Something in my heart was telling me to do this, I had basically had enough, but I sure as hell have learnt my lesson. I won't be trying to stop a big gang war that's for sure especially as they probably got knifes. I would DEFINETELY think twice if my mates were the ones getting started on.

I hope to God I don't come in any of these situations soon! :demon:

[Raquel]

What do you do when someone starts on you?

Use a verbal whip... If they take it farther than insults I'm not above brawling... As sad as it is to say it...

What's your style of fighting?

Snatches of anything I can use... I'll resort to swinging a big stick if it will help me gain ground...

What would you do if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?

Wade in and knock heads together... I abhor Gang fights and will get myself hurt trying to knock sense into people...

I have the habit of finding a fight when I'm depressed... Usually my brother, seeing as he beats me senseless every time... I, unfortunately, love to fight... But I refuse to start anything bigger than a verbal war... I hate when people attack someone weaker than them and I have no reservations about dolling out pain when I think it's needed

[Red]

[i]What do you do if somebody starts on you?[/i]

[b][color=0099]I normally act the idiot and start back, provoking and encouraging them to hit me, lol. I normally just gear up for actually getting hit, as mostly I don't hit people first.[/color][/b]

[i]What is your style of fighting?[/i]

[b][color=0099]Normally martial arts, but due to my rather extreme temper I normally just hit people very hard or grab them by the neck and lift them off the floor.[/b][/color]

[i]What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/i]

[b][color=0099]Obviously try and break it up. There's no real point for me to get involved, as I don't know why the people are fighting in the first place. For all I know it could be a family dispute, friends messing around or stupid gangs fighting each other.
However, if I knew one of the people getting beaten up, and be in there very quickly.[/b][/color]

Oh my Lord! I am like the oppisite to you, lol. I hate kicking! Unless i stand up (After sitting ontop of them and hooking them) i usually stand up and if they are still on the ground, i would kick into their face and head area to inflick most dammage then, if i have time (usually they are on their feet or the fight is broke up by now) i would kick them in the stomach. I awlays punch, like i seaid in my earlier post, i mainly slug, and brawl, if they have me in a hold or whatever or if i'm close to them and my hands are not free i stick the nutt on them (headbutt them, also known as a "Glasgow Kiss" lol). I have been in about 15 or so fights in my life, although i havent been in a fight for about a year now, so when people annoy me, my fuse is very short because im raring to go...like i said "fight mode".

[Bremma]

What do you do if somebody starts on you?

Well, Ild Probay ignore them or try to aviod the, fighting being the absoluote last resort.

What is your style of fighting?

Not sure, never been in a finht, but if I got overly pissed, it could get messy. I could see my self grabbling,, talking, hair pulling and what people my consider dirty tricks. Ild punch, but not kick unless it was a low kick to their knee when they weren't watching.

What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?

Leave them be and get someone who could handle the group if at all possible, but if it were a good freind and they wenrt doing good, Ill try to get the opponet off of my freind.

Id liek to kinda try to fight once, but I kidna wount, cuaseif I really got ina fight and got pissed, (happens, easily.. I have a litlte thingi call "soccer rage.. i get knoeck in or over hard, i get really agressive) I Am afrid i could REALLY hurt soemone.

[The One]

[color=darkred][i]What do you do if somebody starts on you?[/i]
I attempt to convince them that they might aswell go away and not bother me. If this doesn't work and they continue to harass me and/or push me etc, I would do, as Elite knows, some random marshal arts moves and kick the living piss out of the assailant. I would give examples, but I'm not in the mood and it's not the thing I like to talk about.

[i]What is your style of fighting?[/i]
Martial arts. I never grapple, and avoid close proximities. Elite, I remember saying somehting to me about lifting people off the floor. I've only ever done that with an uppercut o,O;;.

[i] What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/i]

As Elite said, if I knew anyone in there, I would go in. If not however, I would walk on by.

On the other hand, if it wasn't group on group, but group on one. I would defend that one person to the best of my ability, no matter what the consequences to myself.

___________________________

As for kicking people in the family jewels...DUDE! It's just not done...listen:

Thou shalt not kick another male in the nether regions unless a matter of life and death.

It's from the rules of life for guys. Oh my god, dude, that's just wrong. :woah:[/color]

[Blade]

[B]What do you do if somebody starts on you?[/B]
Well I would get some of my bigger friends to intimidate them.

[B]What is your style of fighting?[/B]
Having not been it any fights(literally)I'm just over 6ft tall, who's gonna start on me????.I'm not very sure although i am starting Martial Arts!!!

[B]What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/B] Tricky, I suppose you would have to experience this to kknow what you would do. If I were to guess i would probably walk past. Knowing that if I did anything th "rude boys" would start on me at which point i would leg it!!!

[b]What would you do if someone started on you?[/b]

Only one person's ever started on me.. I kind of just.. stood there.. this was about 8 years ago.

Anyway.. this is what happened:

The school "hard man" thought it was a good idea to put the school "wimp" in the skip (an English "dumpster") and I didn't.. so I stopped him. Random insults flew by, which I don't remember.. then he punched me in the mouth.. and I stood there and laughed at him...

no-one's ever started a fight with me since... and I don't really call that encounter a "fight"

[b]What is your style[/b]

Standing there... (see above)

[b]What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/b]

Depends. mostly on if it was my group they were beating up, or if I saw the start of the fight.. if I don't know anything about the fight, it's not my place to get involved.

[Genkai]

I'm not proud to say that I whoop'ed some Sixth grader's *** today.. Now don't get all mad at me cause he's littler than me, cause he's not. He's a year older than me, but hes been held back a few times ^_^.

Anyway, yeah... Fighting's bad.. I felt bad afterwards.. yeah

[DKsAngel]

[B]what do you do if someone starts on you?[/B]
well...thats hard to say..no one "starts" on me...its true..irl mostly ppl are afraid of me, I got some kind of Authority that I dont know about, that everyone else knows..o.O its a consipracy!

[B]What is your style[/B]
eh I dont fight much..so I dont have a *style* lol ^^;..; and if I do get in fights it usually verbal...o_O and one of us usually stop..o.O

[B]What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/B]
well I think I would do something like pull them apart and say "so you guys are how old now..? and your fighting..? and yet somehow in your stupid little peanut brains think this will solve your problems..how?, your __ years old, come on, little kids should do this. not you. if you cant act grown up maybe you should go back to preschool where your arse belongs." and then casually walk away.
lol..I am weird..o_O and I also sounds like a teacher..gosh I am scarin myself..XD

[L.A. Rod.]

I think fighting is nothing more than a double edged sword. In my case, I like to fight, but in competition. I feel the same way many others do about confrontation, because that's somebody who's seriously after you.

If you are in the situation where you are verbally going at it with someone who is picking on you, then you are feeding the potential for a serious grudge. This is where it can get dangerous, because if you fight and win, they may come at you with a little more than there fists.

On the other hand, if somebody begins to seriously bad-mouth you and your reflexes slap him across his face, he's going to react very quickly before there is a real grudge. If the fight is finished and goes your way, the person may learn not to mess with you anymore, but if it is broken up, both sides may be craving revenge.

I think that the best way is to avoid it until you exploid and fight, so if there is somebody that is picking on you, they will learn that you are the wrong person. Then, this may start some heat too.

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]What would you do if someone started on you?[/b]

Tell them to back off, and if they begin to punch me or whatever, warn them verbally. That way, if I get sued or something, I can argue self defense with ease, haha. Then, if they dont back off.. Well, duh.

[b]What is your style[/b]

It really has no 'style' since I just do street fighting- its not like I do martial arts or something. I guess i'm kinda like Spike or something- Smooth, a bit quick, I have a good eye. I use a mix of my fists and a switchblade to get things done, but I could use a gun if I needed to- But where would I get the gun? Lol.

[b]What would you do, if you walked past a group of people beating up another group?[/b]

Why get involved? It has nothing to do with me. I'd rather not get beaten to a bloody-pulp trying to break up two groups of people warring with each other.[/color]
