Manly GAF: How do I Fight?

Funny how you're trynig to prepare for this, but if you have never been into a fight this is whats gonna happen>

If you see the dude and he's coming at you your adrenaline will start to kick in and your mind will go blank, good thing is pain will be minimal during your fight. If i have to give you advice, if you know he's gonna punch you just jump him and try to throw him on the ground.
 
Keep your arms up to stop any face blows , they hurt like a bitch and you most likely can only take 1 or 2 of them .

After that wait for him to swing and try to avoid it and do a quick jab at his throat. I doubt your strong enough to kill him , but while he is trying to breath he will most likely give up.

If you can't get a clear shot of his throat try and punch at his kidneys or kick him in the balls.

If he swarms you with friends don't stop moving and throwing punches if you have no back up or he has more back up than you do. You wil lget your ass kicked , you will be in alot of pain but if you stop swinging / kicking / biting it will be alot worse for you.
 
So I'm guessing the OP cant type because he's in the hospital.

I still can't believe this thread exists. How can someone ask people about fighting? it is instinct. You will know what to do when you're in a combat scenario. Fighting isn't like how it is in the movies.

I haven't been in that many fights in my life and even I know this shit.

sadly most people are pussies now a days always quick to pick up a gun. All these so called tough guys are scared to take an ass kicking.

Being manly in this situation is not about letting a fight happen for no good reason, it's going to the party and walking up to him and defusing the situation by clearing up the rumors, gossip, and bullshit and telling the truth. Be calm, diplomatic, and assertive. If he attacks you, he attacks you, you defend yourself as best you can and he goes to jail. You're not going to learn how to fight by posting on NeoGAF.

The only correct answer. If you're 100% sure that's not gonna work, don't go to the party. Fighting is for idiots.
 
I thought I was smart - I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight - I thought there was a
Virtue in always being cool - so when it came time to
Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that the time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool -

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery

Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
Was the fool

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery

Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
To face them -
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him - I let
Him take you -

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
 
You can either fight or you cant in my experience. For the average person, its largely about whether or not you've got 'the instinct' or not. You'll never know which one you are until you actually get yourself into a situation in which you've gotta fight. After a few fights, you'll learn some things, but its really hard to remember this stuff in the heat of the moment when your adrenaline is pumping like crazy.

I can almost guarantee that everything you do to 'prepare' for your first fight will go out the window when the scrap actually happens.

And yea, I second the advice to straight up nail him in the face first-thing. You can do damage and follow it up immediately and even if you cant, you've at least got a bit of psychological damage on the guy with him knowing you're not fuckin around.
 
Shove your hand into his chest, rip his heart out, and take a bite out of it before raising it above your head and freeze framing for a good 15 seconds.
 
Serious answer on how to stop most attacks, nothing more.

- Assuming this guy is right handed, go into a front stance with your right leg forward
- Use a long guard i.e arms extended 90-120 degrees
- Step inside his guard, right hand goes behind the right side of his neck, your elbow tightly into his chest to prevent rotation.
- Left hand grabs his right bicep, your elbow inside.

Now you've taken away his best hand, and he can't generated any power with his left because your elbow is digging into his chest.

Optional: Drop your bodyweight and rotate sharply to your left for a makeshift throw, giving you time to escape or if you're feeling fancy, try an o-soto gari.
 
Try to knock him over (usually pretty easy to do), then just start elbowing him in the face. You'll either cut him up, or this will devolve into low impact-low threat wrasslin depending on your abilities.

Yea, good luck trying to grab my bicep as my arm hurls towards your face.

I hate advice like this. Like somebody took a couple years of karate and still hasn't realized it doesn't do a damn thing for your ability to fight beyond the added athleticism it can bring. I know stuff like this CAN work, but it takes a lot of practice with proficient sparring partners to actually make it useful in a real-life situation. Otherwise, you're just gonna look clumsy trying to do some fancy move while they proceed to pummel you.

If you *really* want to stop an attack, just dont try and fight the person obviously. Most potential fights can be defused by not joining in the escalation.

Here's an alternative way to scare him off: Just shit your pants and he'll think your mental and retreat.

Actually just take all your clothes off and fight him naked. Any naked guy looking to throw down with his wee-waa flapping all over the place I just leave alone - I don't want to be going near his junk.
 
Go for the eyes, Boo, go for the eyes!

Seriously, fight only if there is no other option and in that case try to surprise him.
 
tough deal if you've bever been in a fight or trained in any way. don't try anything fancy. protect your head and look for an opportunity to inflict damage. he's a bigger guy so trading punches will get you slaughtered. practice your punching. i would try to avoid this at all costs though.
 
Go to a homeless man. Make sure he is HIV positive. Drink his blood, or have sex with him.
Now you have AIDS too. Now, go to the party, don't even look around, you probably have about 15 minutes before you die of this super homeless man AIDS you carry. So find your opponent, as soon as possible. When you do, when you find him, when you can see his face. Spit in his face, bite his face, shit your pants, put your hand in your pants, get your hand out, smear that shit in his face. All the while he's beating the crap out of you, crying, his tears flowing down his cheeks, as you smear the shit from your cheeks and unto his cheeks.

What the shit, mang.
 
Been doing muay thai for years now, and still don't think I can protect myself in all situations. I can do a much better job than the average person -- but given the situation takes a bad turn (knife, bat, friends etc.), my years of training won't really do shit. As such, how the fuck do you expect to learn to fight reading GAF when 99% of these people don't even know how to fight? Defuse the situation before it gets out of hand, or you're probably going to get hurt. If there's ABSOLUTELY NO WAY out of it, fall back on the genetic memory of your ancestors and go ape shit.
