2 Years of Boxing, 3 Years of BJJ (Blue Belt) I feel confident but anything can happen. Haven't actually gotten in a fight to test sed skills yet though.
Be honest...Do you truly know how to fight?
- Thread starter Unbothered
- Start date
Are you saying that professional fighters lack toughness?

I'm one of those people who hasn't been in a fight in 20 years... up until a week ago...
To put it as short as I can.. we all chillin at this chicks crib, drinkin havin a good time, and a nikka in our friend group comes in, drunk as fukk and wylin. Comes in.. immediately goes to pour himself a drink and the girl says no because she's been giving him alcohol/food/cigs all day and he hasn't put in on shyt so hes cut off. Starts screaming gettin mad as fukk.. then asks for a cig. She says no again, and he says he'll pay a dollar for it, albeit mad as fukk.. saying "wow what a way to treat your friends, charging em a dollar for a cig." So then she finally says to get out cause he's being a fukking a$$hole. He says "no, make me.. and starts ranting 'ya, call the cops on a black man.. go ahead... call the cops then.. I ain't going no fukking where" So then he says fine ill fukkin leave.. but tries to take the bottle of tequila with him.. and starts fukkin grabbing her and trying to take it from her. She then throws the bottle to me, and of course I ain't about to let this hoe ass nikka take the bottle from me... guy is 6'3 220, but flabby as fukk.. so he don't scare me. Guy starts saying so what's up then.. lets go outside and I'm like "nah I ain't goin outside.. what's wrong with right here bytch ass nikka?" So, after a brief standoff where hes 2 inches from my face, he puts his hands around my neck and wrestles me to the ground. Somehow even though he was on top (
) and had the drop I grabbed him and 180 slammed him on the ground and now I'm standing above him while he's flat on the floor. Right as I pull my hand back to start wailing on this nikka though, the other friend from the group wakes up and breaks up the fight, saving this hoe ass nikka from getting his face rearranged.
So, to answer the thread.. no.. but I work out alot and am strong for my size... a standard set for me will be 80 pushups, 40 tricep dips, and 15 incline pullups, but that don't necessarily make you a good fighter. Someone who actually knew how to fight might have cooked me TBH cause if he woulda threw a solid punch instead of grabbing me that mighta been it. So after that, I've been practicing Wing Chun.. doin solo drills, using a wooden board for a dummy. practicing a rooted stance, how to use your knee and hip to add power to your punch, shyt like that. Never know when a nikka gon act the fukk up and u wanna be ready just in case.

fukk fighting skills, I'm confident in my ability to
I stopped solving violent problems with my hands back in 92. Now, problems that will not dissipate and moves into the realm of physical harm, is met with deadly force. Since that is the case, I avoid and if avoidance fails, I next warn. If those fail, follow through on my warning.
Lucky for me, warnings have been very effective so far. This all holds for just me being threatened. If my family is threatened, no warning will be given, I will go directly to deadly force.

Yup. I used to fight all the time growing up. The last fight I got into was college though.
So far almost every response consists of a breh having “some” type of training followed by they still got it.
It’s ironic when we had that running thread not to long ago about 95% of the replies had folks mentioning they haven’t ran in a minute and folks with some trash ass mile times.
Something ain’t adding up.

I've never been in a fight in my life. Never had the need to, guess I was privileged
older breh in my neighborhood said he wants to learn to fight. doesn't bear arms. told breh learn cardio and running instead.

Last fight was 20 years ago. The dude fell hit his head on some concrete steps. Cracked skull, blood everywhere, screaming pawgs, I got arrested and charged with battery, parents mortgaged house for my 27k legal defense, 3 year legal battle, avoided a felony. Avoid fights at all cost.
The thing is you have to assume the average random opponent on the street can get up to the 4th bullet
This is an uneven/loaded question.
Fight vs someone who...
...are all different levels of competence you're asking about.
- is a rando on the street
- trained "once upon a time" as a teen
- trains & spars every now and again at a gym
- is a gym rat who doesn't fight professionally but spars constantly to keep technique ....(example: Michael jai white)
- Journeyman fights for side cash
- Professional fights for cash & titles
- and all points in-between
A better phrasing would be something like..
Be honest...Do you truly know how to fight the average rondo on the street?
Michael Jai White is also above bullet 4 overall he's just out of his prime
