I'd have to agree that avoiding the altercation all together would be the way to go.
The problem is, I'd take any fight coming at me, just for the sheer sake of fighting. Not to impress anyone. Even if I know I'd lose, I'd still fight. It's just..."in my blood"? I don't know how else to say it. I'm always drawn to fighting. I don't want to hurt anyone, in the end. I just want a good opponent to challenge myself against physically.
As I said previously, though, you're better off avoiding it. If for no other reason than to avoid a fucking lawsuit.
People sue for everything these days. Fucking cowards.

if your a good fighter there is going to be only a small chance that someone on the street starting an altercation with you will challenge you. and like you said you risk being arrested, and sued its really not worth it..
i use to fight a lot before i got into martial arts.. after studying them and acquiring some self defense skills it is now SOOOOOOO easy to just walk away or avoid street fights because i know im not going to prove anything or really get anything out of it and all i am really doing is putting myself in more jeopardy..
this isnt the 50's the days of 2 dudes just duking it out and letting that solve the problem and people going on with there life are OVER now your gonna get sued.. the cops will be involved.. guns, knives or weapons can get involved.. you have to worry about retaliation.. i mean if you beat some dude on the street and he was tough enough and dumb enough to fight you once he might come back next time with some bats and some friends..
be safe and be smart

Just stay away from fights man... Knowing you can beat someone's ass will keep you from actually doing it. Wondering if you can or can't will make you want to test yourself.

It's hard for me to back down when someone calls me out. I have a very short fuse and I love to put people in their place when they try and talk down to me or ones I care for, then have the audacity to challenge me...
To all the people who say "walk away"
THIS DOES NOT SOLVE SH1T! I have seen it before. Guys get picked on over and over and do sh1t all about it. They just keep getting picked on because the bully knows your not going to do anything back. If someone is going to push me around, im going to fight, im not going to walk away and have it happen again. I just want to know how to street fight if i ever got into one. Im not going around looking for a fight.

Exactly, and unless the guy is seriously after your life, or desperate for your wallet, you can almost always verbally diffuse the fight.
Sometimes all you have to do is feed the agressors ego just a bit, and he won't have a reason to attack anymore. Bullys are only looking to feed that ego to support a mini self-esteem.
You may get into a fight, and after seriously wish that it hadn't happened.
If you hurt him bad you may feel regret.
You may get sued.
You may get hurt. (as mentioned in an earlier thread, splitting your knuckles on a guy CAN exchange blood, and you don't know where he has been)
He may come back for revenge, with friends and weapons. In fact he may have a weapon the first time, you would be suprised at how many people carry knives. Don't fool yourself into thinking this will go away. It's not 1-0 in your favor and you're the champion, this is the real world.
You may be expelled.
etc... (all this has already been mentioned)
Again, what do you gain by winning the fight? Pride? Pride of what? Maybe you impress some losers you won't even know in 2 years? All you are doing is further escalating the situation.
I guess the impression given is that your situation is involving a lot of posturing. Obviously there has been at least verbal agression going back and forth, perhaps challenges or questioning of your virility. But if we have misunderstood and you have a real worry that they may just jump you without warning one day, or you are finding that your general freedom around school is under constant threat, then you might get a much more supportive response from this board.

I think you made a pretty good post, Karde, except for one part in particular.
What is this talk about just feeding their egos? Fuck that! Why feed the fire? I'd rather bring that bully down and stop his little 'reign' all in all. True, there are other things to worry about, but in no way will I 'verbally diffuse' a fight. If someone lays a hand on me, even if they're not that serious, they're fucked. End of story.
And what makes you think I or anyone else wouldn't bring out a weapon or friends if they had to, either? I'd go to any length to terrify someone who was dumb enough to confront me. I'd go at it even if I'd lose. I'm very docile and friendly. You'd never think me intimidating. Put a hand on me, someone I care for, or try and verbally attack someone to the point where it has gone too far, and it's over.
Pride? Yeah, I like pride. Of what? What do you mean pride of what? Pride, man. Pride in yourself. I don't give a fuck about anyone's opinion of me. I care about me being able to take on and defeat any opponent. Anyone who tries to bring harm to me. I care about my ability to 'live on my feet before dying on my knees'. By no means would it be an ego trip. I wouldn't start puffing out my chest, looking to pick fights. I'd go on with life as it were after that. Only for those brief moments during a fight would I change who I was entirely. After - back to doing shit like clockwork.
