Have you ever been in a fistfight?


Recommended Posts

Um, yeah, what the title says. Have you gotten in a physical fight with someone during your life, and if so, what was the outcome? Did you win, were you knocked unconscious/seriously hurt, did the fight only last for a minute or so before it was halted, did you and the other person get in trouble for it...? Tell us!

 

The only times I've ever fought someone were in sparring during the few months when I tried out taekwondo. Aside from being fatigued, I was never physically hurt in these battles since they were monitored.

 

I'm usually a non-violent person.

I almost got in one, I was in study hall sitting in my desk chair when this wannabe gangster tried to knock me onto the floor. I caight myself and stood up to do something back when he ran to the teacher for protection. He never came near me again.

How many people are really going to admit they got their a$$ whooped?

 

I also love any "almost" responses. I almost won the lottery several times too, guys.

 

As for me, the answer is yes, while playing hockey. I dropped the gloves several times. Nothing too serious though, and the results were mixed. I took some licks and delivered some too. Never got knocked out though.

 

Outside the rink, I'm a lover, not a fighter.

^ Scott, I will totally admit that I got my ass kicked a time or two.

 

My record growing up was probably something like 10 Wins - 10 Losses - 10 Draws.

 

Only been knocked out twice. Once was a baseball pop-up collision (which also netted me 6 stitches for my effort) and the other was in an "Boxing" match against a guy about twice my size.

^^ I have totally gotten my ass kicked. I think in fist fights as a kid, I would give myself a 0-2-1 record. However, the one loss I was clearly dominating, and a cheap shot took me down, which was then followed up with a stomp to my back that cracked 2 ribs.

 

I think I have done a ton more damage to myself, though. I have a good tally - 4 concussions, 6 times a broken nose.

 

My most major injuries have come at the hands of my father's bowling alley. 3 concussions happened there. 2 of the best are as follows:

 

- I don't know if anyone has ever seen an old Brunswick bowling machine (I will have to get some pictures the next time I am up there) but in order to make repairs, you have to be about 8-10 feet off the ground - they are big machines. On my dad's machines, there is a step that is about 3-4 feet up. When getting off of the machine, you have to jump down from that 3-4 foot step, through a narrow passage between two machines. Well, right around lanes 9 and 10, there is a huge heating unit that hangs from the ceiling and when you are not careful and duck, you can most certainly hit your head hard. Well, being in my hyper work mode and not thinking, I went to swing down off of the machines, and nailed my head on it harder than ever before. After not being seen for about 20 minutes, someone decided to go see if I was still down in the back area. I was - knocked out on the floor. I was revived and tended to. Concussion city.

 

- Next, I was bowling in a men's league at the age of 18. We were bowling the first placed team and were fired up about it. I was working a 4 bagger when I got up in the 6th frame of the first game. I threw the ball and it looked great. I started to walk backward and kind of "run it out". I did a little hop, and caught my heel funny on the approach. I remember falling backward, the last thing I remember seeing was the ball crushing the pocket for a strike. The back of my head hit the corner of the ball return (old Brunswick ball returns with very little give). The next thing I remember, I was sitting on a stool in the bar, and like 80 people had stopped bowling and were watching me. I guess I blacked out. A guy tried to be funny, and do some kind of fake CPR on me, and then realized I was out of it. My dad (he is only about 5'6", though he will tell you 5'9", and 150 pounds, though he will tell you a solid 175) being a lot stronger than what he looks, picked all 5'10" and 190 pounds (at the time) of me and carried me on his shoulders to the bar. Concussion city again.

 

And now thinking about it, I think my fistfighting record might actually be 0-3-1. I was a bit of a headcase back about 5 years ago, and have calmed down a ton since. Let's go back to the bowling alley, a year after the concussion incident - league bowling again. We were getting ready to sweep the team we were bowling that night. I got up in the 10th frame of the last game and threw a ringing 10-pin, which I proceeded to miss. I thought I had lost it for the team (which it turned out we were done before I made the mistake) I got pissed, changed my shoes, stormed toward the door, and proceeded to punch a steel beam. Ate the time I ate meat, and stopped at Burger King on my way home for dinner. While eating my Whopper, I had a hard time gripping it. My hand hurt so bad that night I barely got any sleep. 3 days later I decided to go to the hospital, and they said it was a sprain. Then, the next morning I got a call from a specialist. It was a wrist fracture. End of bowling season. 11 weeks in a long cast, and 6 weeks of physical therapy.

I didn't start it, but this kid was just throwing them at me, for no apparent reason. Yeah yeah, I took a few, then threw a couple at him and apparently hit him hard enough for him to crawl up into a ball on the ground..

 

I guess I won that one.

I used to always win and lose little scrambles in elementary school, but in recent years (6th grade- now), I'm undefeated. Last year some kid puched me in the back of the bead, then I grabbed his hood and dragged his face on the table and the floor. I also took him out in one punch a few days earlier.

 

I haven't been in a fight for a while. I don't really care for them, I never start them.

I'll do whatever I can to avoid a physical fight. I have much more fun outsmarting people. Although I would like to see how good of a punch I can throw.

 

When I was in 6th grade I got punched in the face by this ghettofabulous girl a few years older than me. That's right, a GIRL. But I was a little fat confidence-lacking adolescent. Come to think of it, I was on rollerblades too. How do you fight someone on rollerblades? There, I have a good argument.

 

I went home and cried. Not because of pain, I was just so shaken up over the fact that someone was that mad at me.

 

There. Keep that on the dee ell.

Far too many when I was younger and much, much dumber. Having way too much of a penchant for drinking and partying in my late teens and early 20s didn't help matters much. Thankfully, those days are long behind me.

 

And yes, I've had my a$$ kicked.

<----- Is a hockey player who has taken/given more then a few beat downs during my years on the ice. (I've even been knocked loopy more times then I would like to admit.) Even to this day, getting punched/punching anyone in the noggin still totally sucks.

 

I'm also not a out in public brawler at all. Bail costs to much, and it's impossible to beat intelligence into stupid people. It's easier to keep it moving.

While I haven't been in a fight, I am trained in taekwondo. So if some guy wants to fight me over the last parking spot at the Wal-Mart parking lot, I'll be ready.

 

(I do not condone fighting such as this, but If you want to spar, start martial arts, and no I'm not picking a fight.)

I've been in enough fights for people in High School to say about me "Don't mess with him. He's crazy."

 

When I was young I could fight two or three people at a time... coming from when my cousins and I were bussed to an all white school. You quickly learned to push away and hit a few kids at a time when you were outnumbered! When I got to High School I didn't look for starting fights, but I sure knew how to finish them!
