EdgedThesis Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Ah, combat. To me, this word doesn't signify just running of blood on the pavement or cracked skulls, but the ultimate test of your reflexes and instinct. And best of all--it vents your anger. Your mind and body are being tested against your opponent's, and there is no thrill like it. I'd like to break it down into a science, but that would be pretty impossible. You have no time to think when fists and feet are flying, you have to trust in the memory of your muscles and the speed of impulses that run down your spine and into your limbs. However, this topic isn't just about how good it feels to be in a competition with another person where the tables can turn on a second-by-second basis, it's how you prepare, as well as a medium to tell of what a fight was like in detail. Prep: I, personally, practice punching and kicking to ingrain memory into my limbs. The next time I do it, it'll be faster. I'll be more used to it. I use standard forms that are used in Martial Arts, but I know these are imperfect, and use them only to practice. I practice individual components of fighting, so that I can be ready to adapt in a real fight, and stay unpredictable. If your movements are static, your opponent will read into you and destroy you. You can't stick to a rigid set. Actual fights: Sadly, nobody has ever picked a fight with me. I reduce myself to spars in underground gyms and health clubs. I have a reputation as a good fighter, even though nobody has seen me fight. I guess people put too much stock into appearance. So, go ahead. Fill these pages with your fondest bloody memories, and tips on how to stay strong in a ring. Or street. Or anywhere, really. But I don't want to go among mad people!Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpacePope Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Carrying a gun will solve every problem you could ever have with anyone. Where I live it's legal to kill someone if they attacked you first in your house, car, or work quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyco_Reborn Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I go for the 'TOTAL FLAMING BRUTALITY' method. I find it works quite well. Also, being able to use anything nearby as a weapon!!!

ThurinEthir Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm not really one for brawling and throwing punch after punch, I prefer being agile and screwing with people's minds. It simply fits me better, as I've noted so many times, I'm not very strong and I would have no chance against most people at my school. And my pencil is abnormally sharp, I've actually drawn blood with it before. My blood, of course. I could easily use it as a weapon if needed...Hopefully. So yeah, I don't really fight. Never done martial arts, and only have gotten in a few minor skirmishes at school. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

Zierro Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 When I'm in a fight, I can't really say I'm in control. I don't have strategies or anything and I'm not even really aware of what's going on. I just go into a mode where I see red and my fists just start flying until it's over. I automatically get up when I fall and the pain doesn't register in my mind until after it's over. Overall I'd have to say I'm a pretty decent brawler but being 6'2'' and quick definitely helps. ;) And it sounds weird, but I think fighting actually is fun - not for pride purposes, but from the adrenaline rush you get from it. Okay I'm done bragging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never done martial arts, and only have gotten in a few minor skirmishes at school. If you're really agile, you can always just end the fight extremely quick by rotating around the guy, smacking his kidneys, or punching him in the back of the head. Or anything that comes to your head. Just make sure your fists connect with something soft and vital. Usually, it's best to end a fight extremely quick. Even for very good fighters, if you take time to prance around and rub your opponent's weakness into their faces, they might find a way to take you down and make you feel like an [wagon].

Quoi_Tu Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm way to easy going to get into a fight, but it doesn't mean I don't carry a knife at all times. :D Next knife I plan on getting: A little paracord grip and I'll be in business.

Lenticular_J Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I try to avoid fighting, but we guys mess around all the time, of course. And hunting/shooting are pretty much the same. So satisfying to eat a tasty bit of deer jerky you made yourself. Plus, I want a Ka-Bar knife, but that's just because it would be useful. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgedThesis Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I remember way back when I lived in America, there was a group of people who'd just get together and kick the crap out of each other. Not sure if it was the same people every time though, may have just been a place where people took their problems. I like the idea where if you have a problem with someone in school, and it gets physical, you can wait it out, go somewhere isolated, get rid of all the anger by venting it through your arms, and get back to normal. Of course, it'd be crazy hard to regulate and people might get killed. So scratch that. Its a bad idea. But I don't want to go among mad people!Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here..."
