Yeah you don't know when someone's gonna pull out a knife or 10 of the other guys mates are gonna jump in, or if he's just one hard mother****er who's gonna put you in hospital.
That said, the only time I was involved in a street type fight (although I actually didn't do anything) was about 6 months ago when I was queuing up with a couple of mates in a kebab shop at about 2am when some drunk tosser looks at us and says some kind of abuse & put his hands up gesturing a fight. Before I even had time to comprehend what was going on, my housemate hit him right on the lips with a straight right hand, busting his lips up. At that he turned around, went to sit down, ate his kebab and then left. ****ing HILARIOUS it was! (although mate ended up having to go to hospital the next day to see if his hand was broken, which it wasn't)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Boxing may help you but it is far from being the most effective art in a street fight. If you fight some untrained bum without weapons it doesnt matter. But if you mixed it up with a BJJ, WT or JKD practician you're lost. Because these are fighting arts created for realistic street fights.

Boxer v non-boxer can be dangerous for both. Having expiriance of dealing with boxers can help yeah, but non-boxers come at u from weird angles sometimes, can be difficult to deal with. I try not to fight on the street for the simple reason that u dnt know whats gonna happen. I mean, even if u win the guys crew could come after u the next day and ur in trouble, or someone could pull a knife on u.
Fists are my last resort if running or talking arent viable options, although having said that i seem a lot more inclined to fight since i started muay thai

If your a boxer don't get into a street fight. Why take a chance at breaking your hand? And for the guy bragging about having 20" arms, take a look at Mike Tysons arms. They are only 16", and he'd knock you halfway into the NEXT century.

One of my farts would knock the skinny ****er (Bruce Lee) down.
So a big 6'3" fatass hick could easily kill a 5'7" 150 pound martial arts expert?
I'm not trying to start ****, I'm just trying to understand your arguement.
Reminds me of all the people who think LL is the greatest HW ever strictly because of his size.
Personally my money would be on the speed and the skill over the weight, but that's just me.Last edited by SonnyG8R; 01-25-2005, 01:29 PM.
