He tapped out to strikes?

[sperbonzo]

In the last 10 years, I've come close, but I have not quite had to resort to actual violence. Weirdly it has happened mostly in Europe. Twice in the UK (Once because they were drunk, and once because they were drunk and I am Jewish), and once in Amsterdam, (because I am a Jew). All three times, I just took off my glasses and ring, and stood there. Told them to come at me first, so that everything after was self defense, and waited quietly. They always ended up going away after a lot of bluster and their friends "pull them off".

I did have to draw my weapon twice. Once when someone tried to jump me with a knife in a bad area of Miami, and once as someone was trying to break into my car at my condo. Both times, the other person ran away, and that was that. Perfect result.

At a bar, guy was told to leave. He didn't. Bartender asked me to ask the guy to leave.
When I did, he punched me in the face and ran to the door.

Problem for him was the door opened in and i was right behind him and didn't stop, I body slammed him into the door with my shoulder into his rib cage.

He called the cops saying I started the fight, cops didn't buy it. Whole thing was caught on their camera system.

Couple months ago...

I've been in several fights, most of which have been to defend someone that couldn't defend themselves. Because of my size, most people will not try to start something with me.

Were any of them from religion of peace?

Did they pay you security wage?

[Mediamix]

Yes.. When two men tried to rob me in Amsterdam. One of them wanted to stab me with a pocketknife. I hit him really hard in his face and they started running. With my phone and my wallet. That was a bad day...

[MaDalton]

not once - not even in my time as bouncer. i tried to interfere in a fight once by pulling a guys shirt over his head so he couldn't see anything and got hit in the face in return. then my back then gf pulled me away before anything more could happen

[wehateporn]

I can't remember having to do this since I was a kid, maybe I got lucky, maybe my size reduces the risk, no way of knowing though really. Now that I've wrote this I'm sure there'll be a big fight over Christmas

The one in Amsterdam seemed to be of the mohammedan persuasion, yes.

The one in the UK, I couldn't tell. Even when I was growing up in the UK, though, I would get picked on by white christian kids for being a jew..... Until I shot up at 16 years old to 6'4", and then it dropped off a little.


As to how they knew.... They asked me, and I told them.

I get free drinks all the time. It's a regular hang out and the owner takes me and my girl out to lunch often. It's kinda like cheers where everyone knows my name. Walking distance from my house too!!!

Wut? I should have been where to do what? Anytime you want to throwdown, I'm up for it. Show coming up in January. I'm easy to find.

[BlackCrayon]

can't say that i have.

[Scott McD]

Nope. But been very close on a few occassions...

[aka123]

No, but I once detained one guy, but there were no punching involved and he also managed to get away while waiting for the police. I simply held him firmly from the wrist and he managed to wriggle himself loose after 15 minutes or so. There could have been punching, but he didn't initiate any.

Berserk-mode engaged. Shattered my top ring-finger knuckle on my right hand during the "fight".
Was over in seconds, and I didn't feel like I was in the UFC or anything at all, just numb and shaky from the adrenaline.
Cops came, threw him in back of their car and I got 8 stitches in my left hand and my right hand strapped up.
My missing knuckle is a daily reminder of how lucky/dumb I was that night, tho. Not seen him since.

Have other stories, but that's the one I remember everytime I look at my hand.

Another internet keyboard warrior tough guy.
I knew you were being a wise ass trying to corner me, that's why decided to take the high road in my response.
I am not hard to find either. Next time keep you wise cracks to yourself and you wont find yourself in a situation like this.

Of course being here since 2001 you think you're entitled to say whatever you chose to whom ever you chose. You're sucking on the wrong cow nipple here.

Believe me, I knew why they were asking, and it got me irritated. So I said, "Why yes, I'm am a Jew", and waited for the reaction that I knew was coming. I'm not going to hide being Jewish out of fear some random asswipe.

Actually, with the anti-jewish hatred starting to rise up in Europe again, it makes we want to wear a Star of David on my chest. I have gone and bought several Star of David T-shirts in anticipation of my next trip over. I'm not going to hide it. (I get all pissed off and stubborn about things like that. Drives my wife crazy)

Yo Fucktard, asking politely if someone tapped to strikes made you all aggro, you got issues. High road? Being a snarky bitch? Go fuck yourself.

Some fucking noob called me a Keyboard Warrior. Oh noes. If you weren't suck a goddamn noob fucktard, you'd know how stupid you sound.

Nobody knows you, with your shitty ass incomplete site.

Calm down bros and grab a drink in Vegas instead.

Nope not since I was like 18 or so.

Fighting is just lame.

The sad fact about all this, is I have a son who wrestled in College, and was interested in hearing about your kid. Instead of you being a Dick answering a polite question, you would have made a real world contact with someone who's been in this business forever, is in the dating niche, and is liked by almost everyone on this board. Maybe not everyone, but you can't please everyone, all the time.

You don't know Anthony? Far from a shit talker.

[georgeyw]

Interesting the personalities that come out in this thread.

Got in a fight many years ago in a nightclub, friend of mine had a big mouth and started a fight.

I was at the bar ordering drinks, see him getting into it with a group and ran over, next thing guy was wearing his nose on his cheek and felt like half the club got involved. Never went out with that idiot again.

What is talking "most shit"? From my experience the real shit talkers end up in fights, as they talk shit. Besides talking shit, the violence comes as an extra. Being proud of this is everyone's personal opinion, but you don't get my points by being violent. Though I have nothing against self defence.

Before I got derailed into a pissing match, I hold the same thought. Some of the BAMF's I know are quiet and unassuming. You wouldn't even know Hell would be unleashed on you.

Last fight I got into was six years ago, and surprise, surprise, it was at a bar. I can't even call it a fight, all I did was make sure a guy stayed down whose legs I kicked out from under him as he was rushing to hit my training partner (owned the bar) from behind. The guy he was fighting threw a punch, he ducked under it, took his back and choked him senseless. Blood everywhere, as the guy fell forward and smashed his head in front of his bar.

We missed the first half of the UFC we went there to watch due to giving statements to the Police. Fighting for your life, one thing. Fighting cause you're an idiot who can't control your drink which let's out the inner asshole, get help. It's stupid. Once you realize you can cut down on your fights by simply not being there at the bar, club, etc. it makes life so much better.

[dyna mo]

does anyone here think that there would never be a reason for an adult to hit someone?

if you have had to hit someone, did you reflect on that and ask yourself in hindsight if you really had to hit that person or if there was an alternative exit strategy?

Well Bro, imho outside of training, where we hit and choke people daily, No.

Unless your life is on the line, or that of a loved one. Bear in mind, by the time most violence occurs, you are already at the precipice.

[edgeprod]

I'd consider having to hit someone a failure in my own assessment of the situation, or handling thereof. I've CHOSEN to hit plenty of people -- during training, in the cage, etc -- but I haven't HAD to hit anyone, and hope I never do. I don't want someone else's injuries on my conscience.

You could just sacastically say 'What, do you want to check my penis or something?'. Think I saw that on your Curb Your Enthusiam a few years ago. Lol

So you relate closely with Gay people who don't feel they have to hide what they are
