Confrontation with a group of thugs....

[buddy28]

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

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

Thanks for the advice sg. Ill take it to heart. In the fall when i get some money and free time ill sign up for some boxing lessons.

Can I inquire about your reasoning for ranking the effectiveness of fighting styles in the order you listed?

I love that place,its a shame these types are going there more often,it will certainly ruin it for alot of people there who just want to have fun

yea man. Its a great place in ontario. Except for the thugs.

buddy28, if you had been packing a gun, do you think you would have gotten so stirred up?

No, i wouldn’t have because of the reason you mentioned. I wouldn’t have felt so powerless.

It wasn’t so much the knowledge five guys could physically rough me up because there were so many cops around any physical fight would last <1 minute leaving no one, including myself, severely injured.

I felt powerless because these guys could have had a weapon and a quick hit-and-run style assault could leave me or my gf seriously injured or dead.

Its that type of person I fear. Nothing to lose, everything to prove, young, arrogant, reckless and armed. If they had a weapon and they intended to use it, my best chances would’ve been with a gun.

It's not that bad.

According to a National Youth Gang Survey conducted by a Department of Justice affliated agency, more than 772,500 gang members were active in the U.S. during 2000.

Even if the numbers are beefed up 100% to justify increased allocation to regional police departments, your still looking at a number close to four hundred thousand gang members.

"In Canada, we dont have ghettos or hoods."

I wouldn't be so sure about that...

I pack heat for a reason and this sounds like a case to pull out the gun and scare the shit out of them.

in the states, this could get you in quite a bit of legal trouble in most places.

aap....you are joking right? your tommy gun? how did you get this tommy gun ? if you are not bullshittin.....I WANT ONE!!!!

what you should have done is call their damn bluff.....say " WHY WAIT? I'M RIGHT HERE...WHY DON'T ALL 5 OF YOU COME GIVE THIS MUTHA FUCKING PITBULL A TRY!!!!!"

that way, you call their bluff( they realize you will go all the way), you will probably keep it physical..(no weapons).... if they all pour out, you will probably lose but go 4 major things..... try to strike with head butts, elbow smashes ......try to break some things ....fingurs(wrestling in the pile), ...also bite things off!!!! noses, ears, etc.....and if they do kill you.......... you go to heaven and no more bills!!!!!!!!


EVERYONE, never pick up something that can end someones life...... you would risk life in imprisonment over a small arguement? have you ever been imprisoned? i think you should look at things differently.........DECIDE IF IT'S WORTH GOING ALL THE WAY!!!!!
