fighting problem

[leatherface]

Alright, training and fighting are my life. I'm more serious about training than anything else in the world. All of my friends always talk me up when we are at parties and stuff, and when strangers are around this always causes controversy. Such as tonight...

Some kids from another school were at this party, to make a long story short one of them tried to start a fight with me. Now im not being egotiscal or anything, but I can pretty much kick anyones ass 1v1(a very good majority anyhow), and to be honest im pretty confident fighting much more than that. BUT..here is where the problem is..and a big problem at that. When the time comes, and i get my adrenaline pumping...it doesn't work for me, it works against me. I'm not really afraid at all or anything, I know my ability and like pain anyhow, so i dont see what the problem is. I start to shake a bit, and know that i've lost a good bit of my fighting potential because of this. My actions will be a bit slowed and such. Anyhow, I need to find out why this is happening, and how to get rid of it, or even better, have my adrenaline work for me. If i left out anything, just ask. Thanks for any positive comments.

Ok ok ok ok..................

Now im not being egotiscal or anything, but I can pretty much kick anyones ass 1v1(a very good majority anyhow), and to be honest im pretty confident fighting much more than that.

Okay. Where to begin...................First I would definitely ask you a couple questions;

1-have you been CHALLENGED yet by anyone?
2-have you fought anyone who has been more skilled, stronger, faster, bigger, and tougher?
3-have you lost a fight yet?
4-sanctioned fights or street fights?
5-what styles do you impliment?
6-ever had your nose broken?

Based on these questions and your responses I could definitley give you a logical response.

To give you more perspective, I have won many fights, street fights. No holds barred, no rules. I have lost a few. In order to be great you must be knocked down, get up and continue.

How do you know you can kick anybody's ass? The more you fight, the more used to it you get and you wont get the shakes anymore. I'm not doubting you here, but it sounds like to me that you havent really been in too many fights because after being in alot of fights, you get some what desensitized to the adrenaline rush. And anybody who has gotten their ass kicked enough, and EVERYONE eventually gets their ass kicked tries to avoid fighting as much as possible. Save yourself a lot of hassle and quit the baddest man on the block attitude and concentrate on enjoying your life.

thats exactly what I was gonna say when I saw this...

you need to know what losing feels/tastes like...

what the problem with you is probobly the fear of losing


you are either fighting some weak dudes or not fighting at all just saying you think you can kick anyones ass..

you gotta learn your lesson and get your ass kicked and if your so good maybe you should consider fighting someone like mike tyson..

theres always gonna be someone better then you at some point.. you just gotta find a way to get better and beat him tommorow.

too much confidence is not good..
cant be a loser either though.

the way i see it is this:

<sarcasm>
if you are such a bad ass, then the adrenaline "problem" you talk about is not really a problem now, is it? if you can kick anyones ass, then whats the problem?

</sarcasm>

where's thaibox when you need him???

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Guys no need to flame the kid we were all there once to.

Kid ,I know how you feel because I've been in hundreds of street fights/bar fights etc. But dont let your friends hype you up like that cause most of them could care less if you win a fight or not & will just get your ass in alot of other peoples bullshit drama.The fear you feel is the fact that they are making you out to be such a badass,& I know thats a great feeling but the adrenaline is just fear that you may get your ass beat then lose that tough guy image.I was in your same shoes in HS til' some guy Broke my nose when I was trying hold up that image that I took for granted,& trust me bro there is no worse feeling than losing that image & on top of that getting your nose broke.It only happen once but it taught me a good lesson.

Heres something funny one of my best friends in HS got in like 2 fights & beat the shit out of both of them & became a legend! Now I think the number is like 20-0 for him .Of course that was like 12 years ago thats the way to go if you really want to be known as the badass back in the ole' HS days .... BWAAAHHHH!!!!!!

peace

I can promise you this, that "I can kick just about anybody's ass" attitude is going to get you pounded into the ground one day and possibly severely injured. There is always someone out there thats just a little bit stronger, little bit faster, and a little bit meaner than you. Chances are you're going to run into him very soon if you keep it up

Honestly, I don't think you've been in near enough fights to give yourself the title you claim. I am not trying to be a dick, but being a Boxer myself and fighting for years on the streets I can tell you that any real fighter doesn't have the "I can kick everybody's ass" mentality. A good, skilled fighter goes into a fight with confidence no doubt, but also caution and NEVER underestimates his opponent. The minute you underestimate someone better than you, they are going to beat you badly. Good luck.

Everything I wanted to say has been covered. Its good that you have confidence. However, that's what a good fighter is going to use against you. Your attitude is like a gun. When people come into a conflict with one, they think they're indestructable...which is exactly what people like me look for, and will shove that weapon down your throat.

So, please give yourself a reality check so we don't have to read your post hospital stay thread.

The adrenaline problem will change with experience. Answer Hammer's questions, and we can help more.


btw thanks for the kind words kroddy

I understand what everyone is saying. I really didn't mean to come off sounding arragont or like I have this bad ass mentallity, Just when i posted this I was still all fired up and was very blunt. I dont walk around thinking I can kick everyones ass or anything and I apologize if i came off wrong with that.
I think what I actually do need IS to get my ass kicked lol. I'm sure that would teach me alot. Very odd saying that though..

One again, sorry about the badass mentality thing, i really don't want you guys to perceive me that way..or atleast think that I perceive myself in that way.

 

[kroddy_man]

WOO HOO! thaibox is back!

man, we missed you! i hope to see you around more often!!!

I really don't understand the "fighting is my life" mentality. I understand the boxing/wrestling/MA point of view, but I suppose I'm just a more passive person in regards to wanting to kick someones ass all the time. I've been in very few "fights", but have broken up many. I have been a combatives instructor for the one of the US Army's Drill Sergeant Schools, so it's not that I don't know how to fight. I just don't relish the thought of breaking someones arms or neck, just cause I can, or cause they called me some studid name. If I am in a life or death situation, or if my family is in immediate risk, that's when I"ll assess the situation, and mitigate the risk. If that means taking out an aggressor, so be it. I'm a pretty big fella by "normal" people standards, & folks typically think I'm a cop by my body language (it's the Drill Sergeant thing), so maybe that's why I don't get a lot of invitations to throw down. I don't frequent bars, & when I did, it was usually on the stage. Most bar thugs don't beat up the band, haha.
My point here is, I don't feel I ever have anything to prove by busting someones head. If they feel like they need to prove it, I'll use force as dictated by the situation, up to & including deadly force, to neutralize the threat. I pity the fool.

Peace & love, Brolies
