Quite often, under sorta hyperthetical situations or maybe relatively tense situations guys always want to be the man or some big hot-shot fighter.
eg for a vague situation of tension:
"Oh, if it was me then i would've knocked him out"
Basically a lot of testosterone flying about. And resolution to any situation seems to go to violence and people getting knocked out.
how come violence is always the first response?
I mean, i quite often get cuaght saying the same stupid shit "oh i'd knock him out" "i am gonna kick his ass" and other bullshit threats like that, but i often wonder if i could? ( i mainly talk and intimidate others
) In that i am athletic and all and stronger than a lot of other people, but when it comes to fighting etc it's a bit different?
I am sure any one with any sorta martial arts or combat knowledge would be able to beat me rather easily
That's why it suprises me when people seem to hypothetically think they're so good at fighting. Although i am also hypothetically making assumptions about my own fighting ability, i am sure i wouldn't be too good at it
Maybe i'd be really good?
my friend was also telling me about his (and mine) friend whose a boxer and a bit smaller than most others. Anyway, outside a club, a bigger guy picked a fight with him and just wimped out after he got hit a few times in the head.
I think i have really been against fighting, ever since we got in a fight outside of a club. Basically we were jsut singing along with this busker. Unbeknownst to me, a friends started yakking just down by the wall on the street and a goup of guys, passing by were giving him shit about it. I was still caught up in the song etc and the rest of my other friends were tlaking back, standard guy to guy threats and intimidation.
THen a guy swang a punch on one of my friends and some others threw a punch as well, then they all ran off. once they were down the street a bit they threw a bottle as well, which hit my other friend. Of course, in the 20 seconds that this happened, i was still up the street with the busker not knowing what had happened. Thats when you get there's interesting myths as well. Cause when i rejoined them, after hearing a bit of commotion they were saying "oh you should of been there, you're the biggest guy in our group " and more crap like that. One of my friends ended up with a broken nose
So don't believe the hype either. Just cause someone is big doens't mean they're any good at fighting!
Although i am still yet to find out anyway. Still a fight virgin, although i do break up quite a few fights and am pretty damn good at tackling (thanks to AFL)
As for throwing punches and the rest of it, i really don't know shit-all about it. Which is good and bad i guess?
How hard is it to
knock someone out?
sorry this is a bit wishy-washy i've been writing it over the last hour or so, in bits'n'pieces.
