Confrontation with a group of thugs....

[gtrcivic]

Playing to these thugs confrontational attitude fuels the fire even more.. Good to see that you didn't elevate the situation.... Think of it as this, they're going to be a STATISTIC sooner or later...and you'll be way off better than they will ever be.....

I might have a Civic, but at least i own my townhouse.. They only have an Excursion... and park it in the projects where they live.

Id like to learn how to defend myself. But what discpline should i pick up in which i wouldnt have to spend years mastering before i could defend myself fist-to-cuff with a moderate degree of proficency? boxing?

Would it have even made a difference in this situation?? Its really impossible to say.

Bro, listen to my answer on this... and remember that it comes from 30+ years experience practicing different martial arts:

boxing, kick boxing, jujitsu... in that order

I wasted an enormous amount of time as a kid studying the wrong martial arts. I started out in tae kwon do... went to wu shu... then took a Chinese family style called lung ku... went from that to seven step praying mantis... then seven star praying mantis, so rim, hapkido, and pa kua chuan. I used to read all the martial arts magazines... considered myself very knowledgeable... and truthfully got very little more than exercise and agility practice out of these systems.

Then, by good luck I became a slob boxer... I say slob because I loved to work the heavy bag and spar... but I missed lessons in my earlier years... just learned from friends... then I added in kick boxing... and had the good fortune to hit jujitsu.

In real world application... if you are going to use something in a fight... it will be from boxing, kick boxing, or jujitsu. They don't take forever to learn... but what they do require is practice. The more you practice the better you get.

The interesting side effect of practicing fighting arts is that if you ever have the rare instance of having to get in a street fight... pretty big guys go down in an eye blink against a trained fighter. It's odd to say but guys who pick dumb ass fights are virtually never experienced or trained fighters. I've NEVER had more than a one punch fight. (Unless I wanted to kick the guy in the head a couple times when he was on the ground.) (Or if you count one knucklehead from when I was in high school who just wouldn't stay down.)

Training in fighting styles makes an enormous difference in your life.

I had 3 (black thugs type) guys do the same thing to me…and I just kept walking, And my stupid girl friend said HEY, I THINK THEY ARE TALKING TO YOU(thinking they were my friends) so I thought I had to prove my shit to my girlfriend, so I turned around and was approaching these guys ready to throw down. And one of them moved his un-button shirt out of the way reveling a gun….I turned around and walked away and had to listen to them laughing at me.

what I would give for
girls to start having a clue

A few years from now they will either be in jail taking it in the ass or dead. Think of that and smile.

Ok... here is the deal. We have all had or seen that scenario before. Strength in numbers is their motto. They couldn't dare or would even have the balls to try to take someone in a straight up one on one fight. We all know that. But keep this in mind.... eventually, they will seperate from that little posse. If only for a few minutes. To grab some food. To hit the john, whatever. That is when you catch that mofo and dog him in the mouth.

When faced with 5 on 1 odds, there is not a man on this board that will guilty for throwing a sucker punch. And that is what you do. You got put that fucker on the floor, lights out. Hit and run. Knock his ass the fuck out. You don't want that bitch hollering for his homies. You want to cold cock that bastard so they find him laying out. Once he hits the ground, you can whatever the fuck you want to with him. A good thing is stepping on his lips and twisting your foot a half turn. Not only will that split his lips, it will disfigure his ghetto face for a few days as well.

We get that shit down here all the time for Spring Break. Muthafucka Kansas City ballers and thugs... One guy had an encounter similiar to that... and he actually went back with his girlfriend and had his girlfriend lure the psuedo thug into the back hallway of Beach Place. He put a stomp down on that ass then.
