Have you ever been in a fight?

Not much of a fight on my end but I claim it was. A kid who was being a real jack*** (we were playing 4 square if any of you know what that is) and we had a dodgeball and he kicked it on the school roof. Repeatedly. Problem was he was like one of the bigger kids. So one day, he came over and grabbed for the ball but it hit him in the glasses so they fell off and me and my friend approached him getting ready to tell him to buzz off. Didnt work. He punched my friend in the stomach knocking the wind out of him and hit me across the side of the head/face knocking me out. Than he got suspended and the funny thing is, this was in the 6th grade and a week before school was to be let out.

About six. Also I got jumped a couple a few times at reform school (and once at my first "regular" boarding school). Growing up I made alot of enemies. None recently, adults don't really get in physical scuffles too much (at least not in my experience).
By the way, I commend everyone who admits to getting their ass kicked, it takes a real man to admit getting beat up (seriously)
, most people won't admit to it (especially with chicks around).

I have been in MANY fights. I first started fighting when I was in the 6th grade...I got knocked to the ground and the guy bloodied my nose. I was embarrased so the next day I walked up to him and attacked him without saying a word. Noone really won but I was intent on never losing another fight. I grew up in a military family in a military neighborhood so I had a plethera of people to learn how to fight. I also took up Kung Fu and Boxing at different times.
I became obsessed with being a good fighter and I did. I fought almost once a week or more for the next three years and didn't lose but one fight. I began fighting for stupid reasons and developed an attitude of "I ain't takin no Sh## from anyone."
When I got to High School me and some friends of mine used to like fighting the local GI's. We like the Challenge of fighting trained killers. Suprisingly we found that most GI's didn't know how to fight and without a gun were pretty much defenseless. Then I joined the army and found myself fighting Drunks who got drukin courage and wanted to fight an Army Ranger.
My last fight I was in at my house when a friend of mines friend got too roudy and I had to drop him. I felt REALLY bad and my current girlfriend (who had never seen me like that) started acting different towards me and later said that I scared her how vicious I was. So from then on I have found other ways of solving problems and controlling my temper.

In the mid 90's it donned on me that I started fighting the same year my parents got divorced. I would go up to the biggest kid I could find and just hit him for no reason. This started from the 8th grade up until I got married in my late twenties. I would never hit anyone smaller than me because I was afraid they might know martial arts. I only lost my first fight and that was to a blond kid playing basket ball. I don't like basket ball! Which also explains why I have never liked blonds before the mid 90's. Since I made the connection between blonds and losing that fight, I now date blonds! Amazing how a chain of various events can affect a kid's subconscious. Then my wife died after 10 years of marriage. For several years after she died I would roam the streets and ride the subway in the twilight hours (2am-6am) just looking or daring someone to mug or attack me so I could hurt someone, this was in New York City during the late 80's and early 90's. No one approached me. Actually they never do. My friends say I can look scary. When I look in the mirror, I see a gentle soul. In 1995 I finally got over my wife's 1987 death, about time! Thanks for letting me share. None of my friends, family, nor my former wife know or knew of my fighting past. It is something I don't want any of my personal (face-to-face) friends to know. Actually, I have not hit a person since I was married. Hopefully, I have matured beyond having to use someone's face and body to work out my problems! The only nice thing about looking scary and being a biker is that no one bothers you.

When I was younger, I got into alot of fights, and won most of them. I only lost one (outnumbered 5 to 1), but I won fights after that one. Now, I don't fight others.

I hate it when people feel the need to resort to violence to end an argument, they were insulted or because they felt like it or they felt the other person deserved it. Since I was Thirteen (that's when I woke up to myself & decided I beyond this kind of thuggery [not being able to move for a day helped that decision a little too]) , I have never struck anyone unless it was in self defence.
If I am attacked though, I feel who ever attacks me has temporarily given up every right as a human being they may have had. I will fight back and I will fight back dirty. Every chance I get, I'll go for the nuts (never been attacked by a female), I don't aim punches at the head, I aim them at the throat or a "finger whip" to the eyes. If I'm put in a choke hold, no fancy flip over the shoulder for me, I'll dig my fingers into the kneepit, lift the leg & fall backwards with force (gotta be careful with that one, it can easily become lethal or you could get covered in puke). If I can get my hands on something to be used as a weapon I won't hesitate. If my attacker has facial piercings...well one night, in King George Square, I gave some punk Three smokes for him & his Two friends, he then demanded the rest of the packet and when I refused he grabed me by the throat. Well, this stupid punk had heaps of rings in his eyebrows, ears, lips &, I suspect, nipples, not only that but a fair few of them were attached by a chain, which dissapeared down his shirt (hence my suspicion of nipple piercing). Well I guess I don't need to explain what happened next, I'll just say he was lucky neither of his lips were attached to the chain.
There's alot of other tricks I have used to come out on top, and not being very big (there's only 60kg worth of me), I've used my attackers weight against them on many occasion.
Okay I'm a slow typer, & as a consequence, am getting fed up with key bashing, so I'll close up now by saying, the best way to avoid a random attack is to not look like a victim, keep your head up, don't mumble when spoken to by a "ruffian" and if you can see that they're going try & intimidate you, make first contact, come up to them with a "Hey, how's it goin'" & even a friendly slap across the shoulder, it should really knock them off track. I've walked through some of the "toughest" (such as I was told) areas, straight through the middle of groups having quarrels & not been touched but have seen people crossing a road to avoid a certain group and having the group lay chase like a pack of carnivores.
I do my best to avoid conflicts, and one of the best ways I have found, is not to look like I am.

Well, Cimbri, I hope you never attack me. I won't play by the rules.
I'm a great bloke, I'm better as a friend than than an enemy. You can say any nasty things you want to about my dead family and I won't lash out physically.
But don't expect to hold my tounge.

I've had one real fight. I was in Form 8 in my British school and this intelectual bully I had was pissing me off and so I said "I'm going to beat you up!" and he laughed and we arranged a time. Another guy urged me not to fight him but I declined his advice. We fought in the 3rd floor mens bathroom and we tried to shove each other into urinals and toilet bowls. Someone even mediated. His name was James, I recall. Then the teacher came and stopped us. 
Today I know better now. This time, I must stay at striking distance rather than right on top of him so I can throw punches!

Wow pacifists across the world..
I get in fights at least 8 times a month ive been in the hospital many times after getting smashed with baseball bats, slashed with knives and once i got hit in the gut with a golf club. Most fights occur after leaving a club and getting jumped in the parking lot.

Physical violence is, unfortunately, sometimes needed..
I was in a fight when one of my best friends (who happens to be couloured) came over some hillbilly-racists when we were in the army together (on leave).. They just wouldnt let him go, so I had to step in and defend my mate.. I`ve never looked back at that incident with anything else than pride...
Have been in a couple of more fights, and I think all of them are justified.. I have never lost a fight, and the people i have beaten up have really deserved it!
