    Fighting

    If anyone here has some tips or expirence from fighting could you please give me a hand?

    Lately at my highschool a group of "scene hardcore kids" have been harassing me to the point where there texting me 24/7, leaving me messages, making facebook profiles about me and then this week they started harassing girls Im close to. And today they were like throwing rocks at a girl im really good friends with so I walked over there and knocked one of them on there ass and they all formed a little gang on one side of me and started yelling things at me calling me a pussy so I put my stuff on the ground and stepped up infront of them and they all backed away and thats the final straw

    Were suppose to fight friday and I dont know who they are bringing but Im bring some friends of mine and I want to know if theres any thing really important to remember when it goes down.

    Im bigger then all of them, height and weight and muscle wise so I know that will help me, Im really quick and do endurance training on a punching bag. I know how to get up quickly if I get knocked down and how to take hits but yeah any help is appricated

    It will put whoever gets messed up the most from that crowd in his place. I know fighting shouldnt be an option but when this happens should I just back down and take harassment endlessly and let friends be harrassed, girls no less.

    Actually with kids like who he's describing it can sometimes be the only way. Basically if he kicks their asses, they'll stop, if he loses, it gets 1000 times worse.

    I recommend the following:

    Be in a public place, when they're harassing you. Let go of your ego, walk up to them and be friendly, maybe smile, and sincerely ask them, why do they do this? Ask them if it helps them in anyway, ask them if its made their lives better. Who knows maybe they'll get scared, maybe they'll cry, maybe they'll leave you alone. Don't fight. Its not worth it. I've been in fights, and I just feel bad, because no matter who wins in the end, the guy who got his ass kicked the hardest always looks for a way to save face. IF you've ever seen American history X that movie is an extreme example. Guy blows smoke in another guys face only to be shot multiple times in the end. Both irrational and destructive behaviors. Just think about things...will it really matter in 10 years? how about 5? or 2? or 1? I'm sure your mobile service can block their numbers. But really ifyou have any testicular fortitude you'll simply have an honest non threatening conversation.

    I dont provoke anything

    Im just kind of unsure about willing to get suspended for 3 days for fighting on school grounds but if I have to I will, they confront me everyday pretty much and I dont back down but im just sick of it, they think like 10 people standing there will make me back down

    Ok a few things. Keep in mind this is coming from someone that trains MMA.

    First, this is pretty stupid. If they keep harassing you just go tell an administrator. They're emo fags. Who cares if they tell you you're being a bitch?

    After you do tell an administrator, if nothing happens, here's what you do.
    Wait till there is just 1 emo kid harassing you. Get in his face and run your mouth and really try to get under his skin. Provoke him like hell until he hits/pushes/whatever. Then hit him really hard.

    As far as this high school gang war ****, don't do that. I've heard so many times of something like this happening and then someone bringing a knife/gun/whatever. I wouldn't put it past these kids.

    If you do get in a fight, it's kind of hard to explain what to do online, but assuming you're semi-coordinated and relatively powerful ... just throw punches. Don't try and bring the fight to the ground and tackle or anything. Just keep aiming for the other guy's face and punching straight ahead (don't throw hooks). Protect your face with your hands and bat away anything that's thrown at you, but don't be overly defensive.

    No one likes a snitch. Besides, eventually it will get to the physical altercation even if the administrator is alerted. Throw the first punch, that's my advice.

    i agree, if someone is approacing you in any threatining way whatsoever, you should hit em first.

    and dont just swing at him, make sure you hit him in his jaw or cheekbone. punching someone in the ear aint gonna do much

    Lol. Let me punch you in the ear and we'll see if you shrug it off like nothin. You have to be careful in a fight. A guy from my town got into it with another guy at a party last year, punched him just right in the nose and killed the guy. He's now in jail due to involuntary manslaughter all thanks to a stupid ass drunken fight that he actually didn't even start in the first place.

    Most of the time there's no real point in fighting, it's too easy to get in trouble in the US. Any little bitch can call the cops and have assault charges slapped on you.

    well the reason i said in the ear is because i have been hit in the ear and just shrugged it off. and the reason the guy got killed when he got hit in the nose might have been because the cartilage in his nose was pushed into his brain. either that or severe head trauma?

    What would phonebooks do....?

    I don't know about the administrator thing, I know its stupid to follow **** like that but everyone in my high school is really against cops and snitching so I don't know what would be worse, fighting on school grounds or reporting him and everyone looking down on me for it.

    Whenever the one kid that started is around me by himself he walks away really quick and says nothing until he has like 8 people behind him so I doubt it.

    Im thinking of getting one of them to shove me and decking him, is it reasonable to say that there "shove" was a light punch if they ask who started the fight?

    LOL


    there ya go. when you see the kid by himself hurrying by you, confront him then if you want to go through with it. that way if he starts you throw him a sick beating, if he backs down in front of people he looks like a bitch. The whole group thing usually isn't a good idea. You may be tough, but it's hard fighting with fists coming from all directions.

    If you go into a fight afraid of getting hit your going to lose, doesn't mean just leave your chin out there.

    You can't just learn to fight its something that takes years and years of training before you really even understand the concept but just remember that your fists aren't your only weapons theres elbows and knees ( I wouldn't throw a kick unless you've been trained on how to)

    Stay on your feet and throw punches (keep it a fist fight as long as you can!!! Chances are he can't throw or block a punch correctly). If grabs you and pulls you to the ground, get him in a head lock and choke him until he passes out.

    Then get up and triumphantly shout "YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR MY POWAAAAHHH!!!!"

    Yeah, I think the key here is to not let him grab you though. You just keep punching him. If he starts grabbing you, you're strong enough to push him off, take a step back, and keep hitting him. If you don't know how to fight but you can throw a straight punch, then that's the easiest way to win. Just don't be afraid to be hit. Be really aggressive.

    If the other kid starts the fight, you can at least avoid assault charges, but you're going to almost definitely get suspended.

    Just go tell an administrator. Nobody is going to support the emo kids, everyone hates emo kids. Plus, things like this blow over after a couple weeks. Plus, if you do tell an administrator and nothing happens, then you actually might be able to avoid getting suspended if you do get in a fight.
