Where/Why do street fights generally begin?

[JayC9]

'Round here fights are usually started because of some perceived slight of eye from the typical garden variety ghetto bum. Either that or it's in the heat of an argument over:
1) Who's housing project is superior
2) Who's a better rapper
3) Who has a more extensive collection of do-rags and "throwback" jerseys
4) On da G dawg wit da fly tip

And any combination thereof. Nothin' like a healthy dose of multiculturalism to start the day off right.

The redneck town my parents live in is just like that, like that "Roadhouse" movie, damn fight happy inbreds. fun to watch though, they fight each other with what ever is available and next day act like nothing happened.

A policeman was bashed to death there by a teenager a few years ago. crazy mixed up world.

I dont drive through town anymore, drive the long way around to get to my parents house, as the town already think im a cop due to the fact that I moved away, cut my hair, sold my leathers, got a job and live in the city.

crazy mixed up world.

almost got into a fight last nite when i was involved in an auto accident..

be careful and be aware of your situation at all times.. you dont have to be a paranoid freak, like me but you should be aware of your situation and try to realize when you might have to DEFEND yourself.

stay safe

Thats extremely good advice. There is nothing worse than being caught completely by surprise. Once I got caught by surprise, realised too late that a fight was on, and my knees turned to jelly. Only lucky intervention saved me from an Ass kicking.

Have never been as unaware or as nieve since

Eye contact.

10 years ago I saw an article in the paper that had a term for the type of eye contact that silently conveys,

"You're a pussy and your mother is a whore, so why don't you go fuck yourself, homo!."

In that paticular article they called it, "mean mugging."

It's also known as "dogging someone."

I cut out an article from the newspaper that states that statistically, one reason a great many fights start is due to eye contact delivered with a hostile message. It's easy to challenge someone with just a stare.

And in some cultures, if you combine that eye contact with saliva, you have the makings of a full on declaration of war. What you would do is lock your eyes onto a person and then without looking away, spit onto the ground. After spitting, continue to stare at the person for a few seconds. During this process never, ever blink your eyes.

And you will need to add this affectation to really drive the point home: while spitting, snap your head down and back again real quick as if to say that what you see before your eyes is one detestable person that turns the saliva in your mouth to urine. This technique is practiced all over the world, including the U.S.

Concealed handguns usually prevent any fights, you guys should look into getting a license for one of those, if your state permits.

 

[Judo Tom]

carrying a gun and NOT knowing hand to hand combat is completely ridiculous IMO

 

[Saintinistic]

To rely solely on a gun is bad. It should only be as an extension to an already competent close quarters fight ability. They are good only if circumstance permits, if someone grabs you from behind, knowing what to do to free yourself is better than the gun that is beyond reach.

Not fully dismissing the idea, just believe it should accompany sound martial knowledge.
