Have you ever been in a physical fight?

I Grew up in poverty or around people who were unsavory; luckily my father was a mixed martial artist and taught me and my sister at young ages, we learned techniques from Judo, jujutsu, BJJ, boxing, Muay thai and a few others although i did pursue further knowledge in a few others on my own terms too, which consisted of Judo and Krav-Maga. My Father Taught me via trial and error and full contact sparring; where he would show me the technique and after i would use everything i learned as a reference point for my actions in a fight; since a fight can be unpredictable. Anyway i'm getting off topic; Yes i have been in a few squabbles here and them, all resulting in a win or undetermined, I say undetermined because neither of us were knocked out or to the ground and mostly because i've been about 1 fight where it got extremely heated to where i almost got jumped at seven-teen; i got away surprisingly, but fighting was something i was extremely familiar with. But even so you can't learn to be efficient fighter without losing at first, in which i did as a small kid and always did to my father; i lost 2 as a kid and pre-teen, and after i got a basis of what it to have that mentality of a fight; i realized you always have to be on top and take the aggressive initiative. although my father always said: "You can tell the difference between an experienced fighter and a bullshitter from the number of scars they have on their fists and body." i have a scruffs on my knuckles and a few scars on my elbow's and a few cuts on my forearms and etc. although i stopped fighting after about 2 years ago; after that... i've been passive, although a good spar is always welcomed; but my interest's lie within my love for technology and my studies. I believe i love conflict; the adrenaline rush of it always made me smirk and giggle.

In my life i can say about in total, 11 actual fights in my lifespan, i won all of them, but sparring fights was about 24(Not including my fathers session) or more; i can't remember and i lost about 4 as a kid and pre-teen.

^what Mick said is another major reason I avoid fights. There is always a potential to get a permanent scar. I try to keep my skin as flawless as possible. I can't mess up this face.

Note most creatures will avoid fights as they risk one's chances of reproducing. Only if they deem the risk to be worth the reward will they risk a confrontation. And in many cases when they find they can't end the engagement quickly and cleanly, an animal will retreat. Better to find easier prey and fight another day than to die now. However humans, who are infamous for having their priorities aligned, will often fray over shoes, food, ideals, MLP, music, forums, sports teams, the fact that the TP should obviously go over the roll not under...

3 I do not like to put my hands on people. But 2 fights were with my best friend over stupid things like the first one she asked me to pretend fight with her. Im like for what so all of a sudden her punches turned real an im like do you think im going to seriously stand here an let you hit me in the stomach like it was so stupid. She just wanted to make her self look superior than me in front of other people, I wasnt having that. And the third fight was with a bully that just messed with me every day kinda like a lil bird pecking at your head after 3 months I had enough I confronted her she punched me in the eye after that everything went red. I got maybe 5 hits in before someone broke it up I kinda just ran in the house screaming an crying because I was trying so hard not to give her the satisfaction of a fight.

Physical fights? I had few back then when I'm in middle and high school. I'm not the one started it. One time a bully stole my pokemon card and hit me in middle school. He is bigger than me but I kick him in the leg real hard and he fell. Another time a kid gang up bully me because I look weak and smarter than him. About 3 people gang up on me. I ran and the other one got hurt when I bump into him. The rest chasing me and I lead them to the teacher office. High school got bully again and trying to steal my Yugioh card and ask me for money. I resist and keep getting pester and they hit me. I got angry so I push them back and did a jump kick which I see in anime. It work but I fell down hurt my back and butt. Don't try this is super effective but is a double edge sword. Another one is a girl keep on tickle me and touching me. I keep on saying stop but she won't almost took my shirt off and bit me in my hand for trying to run. I got angry and I gave her a knuckle sandwich right in her teeth. She way crying while my hand all red. I feel bad for hitting a girl so I never hit a girl since then.

I didn't started it first and people jealous of me all the time just because I look weak and smarter than them. I dislike fighting, would like to avoid it as much as possible. As for trading card, they try to steal my alakasm, gengar, mewtwo, Lugia, and mew. As you see these are really rare since it came out not too long ago. For yugioh card: rageki, exodia 5 pieces which about $150 for all 5, mirror force, yata, blue eye white dragon limited edition one. All I know is expensive one they try to steal it and I wasn't bringing it just to show off but to battle with friends. Bullies just showed up and see I got good cards. The one that try to steal usually black.

Sorry if I offended anyone who is here in that race. Most of my things got stolen by them. Cards not that rare but somehow good, my gym uniform - got scolded by teacher, money I lost which about $40 not a lot for now but back then is quite a lot to me. One of my friend I lost since they threatened him. My first crush love gf cheated on me for that race but she came back crying for me. Many more even including now while I work in retail and take college class got stolen too. Pen that I borrow never return and many times at work always shoplifters and usually the same race. I don't know why the same race always do a lot of bad things and giving me hard time that I never done anything wrong to them. I truly respect them in the past since they strong in physically and say what they want. But now I don't feel that way, most of them gave me a bad impression.

@I<3AnimeFoodGirl Most people that do bad things are not all one race. Maybe where you live the majority is just that race but I can guarantee you thats not true. People commit crime due to there upbringing and other factors most people that steal most likely grew up in poverty an felt it was necessary to survive others just do it to get what they want. Theres never one reason an you cant blame one race for doing bad things. Also if you was sorry you might have offended people than why would you continue to talk about it? I was actually okay an not going to say anything until you started going into detail. Anywho I think im done this is not a subject I normally talk about just got a little annoyed.
