eh i never think about winning or losing a fight ive just never been the one to throw the first punch and i always wonder about it

I never throw first or better phrased would be make first contact.There's only 1 rule to a fight and that is there are no rules. Do your best to avoid that first swing and break a knee or an elbow or field goal his sack. If im going to fight im in it to win and as fast as possible. You can bitch later while your in recovery.

Truth be told i think im pretty good at antagonizing people into taking that first shot. I look at it as i never go get in someones face so if your gonna get in mine im gonna make you swing.

Man I had no idea tpg was filled with so many UFC fighter and fight experts. Guess I need to watch who I talk shit to in game.

It's real simple ignore words and defend yourself at all costs. I'm 6'2 215 and pretty solid but I avoid confrontation at all costs because of the unknown. What if the person has a knife, gun, a friend around the corner, who knows?

What I do know is I have a family that depends on me and I think you do too. At that point you cannot afford to get into any altercation. If I got attacked I'd consider it survival mode and do what I need to do to end it. Don't provoke or promote violence, I've seen people shot, stabbed, killed, all over a fist fight. It's stupid an senseless.

well of course... avoid if you can. End it fast any way you have to if you can't.

I started practicing in 1997 if I remember correctly. Started to learn some BJJ and boxing. I then left boxing and started to practice Muay Thai. In college I practiced some more BJJ some Greco Roman and some Judo. After college I stopped training altogether when I came back to Honduras. I´m not an expert or even close to being one in any of those disciplines, I just enjoy learning about them and I like sparring as well. My older brother practices BJJ, Muay Thai and Limalama and he´s kicked my ass before (it´s the only time my nose has bled profusely and my eye closed shut)

I probably wouldn´t pick a fight with a 6¨2, 215 lb guy, but like I said height and weight are irrelevant if you don´t know how to fight.

I know movingtarget is a big guy, don´t know how tall you are moving, but I think you weigh, what, about 230? The error that big guys usually make is they think that being big is all they need to kick someone´s ass, and in a street fight against someone with equal fighting abilities, or lack thereof, I´d say it´s a big advantage, but against someone that knows how to fight, that height and weight advantage basically disappears; then you´re left with no advantage against someone that knows how to do something you don´t: throw punches. Not a good situation.
