JUST DO IT FAGGOT

Get into a fist fight

Take a boxing class so you get punched in a relatively safe setting.

Getting beat up doesn't even hurt that bad. Once you learn that, the rest is easy.

Stay extremely calm. Wait for them to swing and do a pull counter. Make it count.

Take up boxing or a martial art, that will ween the weenie out of you. I dont think it will turn you into some macho psycho but its the best way to teach one how to deal with a fist fight should the occassion occur.

This is a classic

Find a good martial art school and start training. A good coach is more important than a good art. After that, I feel like arts that do live practice are tons better. Where you really practice against an noncompliant opponent. Boxing, judo, muay Thai, bjj. I'm sure there are others. Getting hit always sucks, but you can condition yourself a bit to it. Good luck b.

If you get in one ur adrenaline will kick in. Wont be that scared then mate.

You know when a bee or wasp flies into a room and everyone panics despite the fact its stinger isn't that painful?

BECOME A BEE

OP here, I've taken Brazilian jiu-jitsu for a few weeks, but it really doesn't seem to help with the fear of being punched in the face or flinching when your opponent is striking?

I'm fortunate to have grown up playing rugby while not boxing or a martial art the few times i've gotten in a fight instinct kicks in and i pickup and dump tackle the person to the ground so i'm then on top no homo (maybe a lil) and can freely punch them in the face. Point is take up a martial art or a contact sport american football? and you'll get used to scrapping/contact and it just becomes instinct. Also adrenalines a hell of a drug unless you fall into the pussio flight category instead of fight

>6'1"
>190 lbs
Lift and put on more weight and people won't fuck with you

I'm only 5'11" but I'm 225 lbs. Can't fight and never been in one but my friend who's a cop said he'd be careful approaching a dude that looked like me

Do some sparring. Take a few blows with protection on. Im scared of fighting too, but Ive been in many fights. Its a natural feeling. Accept it. Sparring allows you to normalise that fear and normalise the fear of getting hit. It also becomes slightly exciting.

Take up a kickboxing class or something that does striking sparring.

that sounds pretty good. There are a few gyms in walking distance

3 years of English Boxing and 2 years of Kalah (Krav-Maga / Lothar / Haganah) here

You're getting nervous 'cause 1) you don't know what to do, 2) you don't know what you're worth.
Hence you'll do shit. When you know your limits, you know when to pick your fight.
And like everything, you need to work it up. Get in the ring and enjoy

Take boxing strength and condition sessions. I'm a trainer in LA. Find one near you. Focus on the craft and the confidenc will come

Just check if they do actual sparring or just drills. Sounds like the sparring part would be the main thing you need just so you can get used to it.

It's called having a brain. You want to be a tough man, you want to be a badass? Well, they all end up the same. Trust me, kiddo.. there is nothing fun about actually fighting. Having your nose and teeth fucked up isn't fun.

do some kind of martial art or the like with lots of sparring, that'll work

I'm mostly concerned about self defence. I avoid confrontation when possible. I live in a bad area, lot's of crack going on around here. Some people are just looking for fights...

I'm training Muay Thai OP, its harder than boxing but its worth it. Take boxing class or muay thai and do some sparring

Open carry a gun?
>Inb4 muh 2nd ammendment
Seeing someone with a gun is a social cue for 90% of people to behave/steer clear. You might never even have to unholster it unless you run into some nignogs

Fighting aint that scary. I used to be scared of fighting until I actually got into one because for one I dont like confrontation and didnt like the idea of getting hurt. One day I had to fight a dude, it was pretty fuckin retarded how it happened but ended up throwing down. When it gets to the point of throwing punches your adrenaline is pumping pretty good and when you get hit you dont really feel all that much unless you get your nose broke. The hurtimg really happens after the adrenaline wears off but fuck it, it dont hurt for long. Only fight when its absolutely necessary, be cool with people and you shouldn't worry about having to fight

Most are going to tell you to get into a fight, but honestly, if you haven't by now, you're probably best using de-escalation techniques and just admitting others are superior if they get in your face.

The 10 percent who won't steer clear are the ones you have to worry about, my man.

You clearly haven't spent much time in Compton.

I'm mostly worried about white-trash drug addicts that listen to Slim Shady in their front yards and harass people on the sidewalk

Don't get into fights. You're 27. There's much more legal trouble for you now. Not worth it.

Not dude youre talking to but Compton really isnt/wasnt all that bad besides the riots and a couple gang squabbles here and there in the 90's. I'm white and used to kick it with some Denver Ln and Tree Top Piru bloods,

Find a place to practice krav maga. Knowing self defence will really help your confidence.

>Compton
Lol shit bro you're fucked. Makes sense though. The shit part of my town is cartels and drugs so a gun probs wouldn't work there either. Fortunately I don't live there so I don't need a gun

Go to a reputable gym focused on MMA training. They'll likely have Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, and Muay Thai. After getting smashed a bunch of times, a punch to the face is nothing.

Also I'm not against learning martial arts but in the scenario we're talking about, living in/going through the ghetto the benefit of self defese seems minimal since all the tweakers and gangbangers will have their own guns. Like if you get confronted and try to act hard in defense they won't fight you thell just pull a gun. My cop friend tells me this happens way more of then than fistfights

Join Fight Club, motherfucker. Getting punched in the face hurts less than you think.

Watch this dude's videos and stop being a bitch. Also the best thing you can do is bjj. Join jiu-jitsu, you will be turned into a killer and get comfy going full contact.

How about not getting into a fucking fist fight, you hormone-driven shitbag?

To be a level one fighter - witch is a better fighter than about 99% of the world (counting women, children, elderly, faggots etc) - I'd say you need about half a year of boxing (boxing is good as it learns you to give and take a punch), and maybe a year of judo or wrestling or
> Brazilian jiu-jitsu

That'll let you win against most single unarmed opponents. The thing about the kind of people who'd wipe the floor with you is that they all have martial arts disipline, or simply both have proven themselves and have learned how fucking fast it is to give and get permadamage to your stats or even permadeath with no more than a wellplaced lucky blow. ("Well, your honour, he kind of leaned into my deflective leftypunch, and then he fell to the ground and I am soooo sorry.")

As to second level fighter I don't feel competent, but while a level one fighter can beat a group of incompetents, you need to get to level two to beat even two competent fightes.

Ievel 2 is just not worth it for most people - I recomend guns, fedoras and katanas.

Interdasting, I played handball for a shitton of years, and while I've trained various martial arts, when the shit hits the fan in spite of having a fucking 900+kg punch and being slippery as fuck up close due more playfighting with brothers and friends than to training both judo and wrestling and various street-techniques.... I fucking ALWAYS default to the push.

And that might see faggoty to most, but people litterally go flying around me in fights and they get seriously injured.

Kickers usually loose. Fucking faggot ballerinas. Never kick above the level of the cuck.

English boxing? That's like bareknuckle shit?

Same here man, I once got in afight and I actually shat myself. Knocked the cunt out, but had to get the fuck out asap cause I had shit in my pants. Ever since then I can feel my asshole opening up when I sense something wrong is about to hgappen.

De-escalation techniques - fuck the user who said that is admitting they are better.

If I actually get to use as many words I'll usually say "I don't want this cuz if I win I go to prison (I have fucking priors) and if I loose I fucking loose".

I once had a crackhead wrap his t-shirt around his fist and sucker punch me for no reason. I was a complete pussy. I want to correct this.

Tae Kwon Do
I signed my kid up for it, and now I can't lay a goddamn hand on him

This is the best advice.
This or find friends that will box with you.
Get 16 ounce gloves and you won't do too much damage.
That's how I learned and I've survived my share of fights.

have your right hand be near your cheek, and one some what in front of your face, every time you punch with your right hand pivot your foot

if its an actual fist fight, do not limit yourself and fight brutally and without consistency

They are slippery fucks, wait for the sillykick and grab his foot and make him loose all connection with gravity and let mother earth punch all the air out of his lungs.

If it's your son, I reccomend you stop there. If not I reccomend you stomp there.

Professional boxer from the UK here. No bullshit. I started boxing when I was 5. I went professional in muay Thai at 19, and boxing at 25. I only box now.

You don't need to be scared of fighting outside. 99% of people can barely throw a punch so you'll be OK. Just don't let them sucker punch you or anything stupid. And try to be accurate more than full power. Missing leaves you open even to a retard

>I can feel my asshole opening up when I sense something wrong is about to hgappen.

That's normal.
Once you get in a few fights, that goes away, but you're 27, what do you need to get into a fight for?

I'm I correct in my observation that people like you never look for fights and only give when the fuckfaces insist on it?

Im not even joking man, the shame is probably scarier than getting into the fight itself

Lol. Taekwondo is completely shit. No offense. I actually started out in karate when I was 5, got my 3rd Dan in tkd at 15. Got beaten up when I was 16. Tkd has no practical use whatsoever. Get your kid into muay Thai, BJJ, MMA, or boxing. If you want him to actually be able to defend himself.

Traditional martial arts unfortunately only really give a false sense of security

you're 27... grow up and stop worrying about fist fighting

Yeah, I'd say that's likely. Most people who actually do fight for sport, feel less reason to react outside. We have nothing to prove I guess. If you've just done 15 rounds sparring against tough pros, why you gonna be bothered about pissed up mouthy twat in the pub

That is likely the reason. At 180 and 80-100 kilos and even at 41 with a grey beard and skinny arms and all, the only people who ever fucks with me are people I can wipe the floor with, and the hardest reaction I get from guys like you is that look when you measure me and find me lacking.

This. A BJJ white belt that's been training for more than 6 months could wipe the floor with someone that's trained in a traditional martial art.

The only feeling better than punching someone out is getting the shit kicked out of you.

Sounds kinda hot tbh (n-no homo). When I'm in a tense situation I get butterflies in my stomach and my asshole twitches. Also all the blood rushes out of my penis and it almost completely retracts but sticks straight out

That trembling is your body getting ready to throw down. Fuckin fight someone

Cue in the bjj fan boys

This meme dies when you know what you're talking about.
If you teach civilians some good basics they act like they aren't flustered by threats, which is close enough to a display of dominance that most trouble is avoided. Realistic confidence and self-esteem based on achievement creates a secure person who is neither timid nor seeks trouble to prove themselves. Basically, a balanced individual.
But if you're dealing with serious insecurity and daddy issues, go for whatever the latest "ultimate" martial art is. In the 60s it was kung-fu. The 70s gave us knockdown karate and kickboxing. The 80s threw up ninjutsu and then Muay Thai. The 90s gave us Gracie style Jiu-Jutsu which turned into exactly the MMA that Bruce Lee predicted and showed in the first minutes of Enter the Dragon. Hell even the US military fell for the marketing of Gracie BJJ.
Poor men with no way to forge a masculine identity go for whatever the 'lol most realistic' thing is this year and end up in court, hospital, prison or the morgue because of that.
The determined attacker will fuck up a hand-to-hand master with a gun, so understand before you start that you can't be safe with humans, you can't be safe from them, but you don't have to skulk around afraid and you don't have to stalk around mad-dogging everyone either.
Balance, rise above that shit.
t. 30 yrs in martial arts

yeah but as you get older that gets old fast. ima knock the shit out of you every time

Yeah. It's awful when something works so well that every MMA fighter trains in it.

find a legit BJJ or judo academy and don't strike at all. first 30-40 classes in BJJ is all you need to completely destroy anyone not trained. after that it's learning to beat other trained grapplers

source: blue belt in BJJ with 3 years training every day

tl:dr...
what this faggot said ^^ to OP is:
If someone attacks you, just spread your ass cheeks and take it up the ass....

or something like that...

buy a gun

unfortunately it's also true. I'm a blue belt with 3 years of consistent training and you would be amazed how easily I rag doll bran new white belts who outweigh me by 60+ pounds.

It's astonishing how easy it is to destroy untrained people on the ground

...

OP i have a 6-0 professional boxing record, i didnt fight for that long. give it a try OP. if you find the right place with a good group of dedicated guys, you'll have a lot of fun and get into amazing shape. some places will even let you go in and try it out for a bit to see if you like it. id do it at my mine

Some people freeze even threatened with a blow. They can't think or actat all. Stats from Vietnam showed that about 30% didn't fire their weapon during contact.

This

Must have a real money grabbing professor then user, 3 years training everyday and you’re still only a blue belt? You should easily have a purple by now or you’re just dogshit at rolling!
Btw I’m a legit brown belt one stripe and my school is run by a former no gi world champion.

fight or flight. i believe it.

>sexually confused, angry illiterate posts on the internet, more at 11
i was responding to the guy that said trad martial arts are no good. Any training, even crap McDojo stuff will give you the ability to face up to trouble and keep calm. That stops more trouble than you know. If you're getting in shit everywhere you go it's probably because you walk around looking scared and angry all the time. Just come out of the closet, champ.

If you can afford it or have a quasi-gay, jock friend, find somebody that will wrestle with you and do some sparring. no fight (except drunks and ghetto kids) will be just a couple of fists. think ufc but with less pinache. learn about the best places to gouge a muscle. study nerve points (not kung fu stuff, just where a strike really hurts) and practice with your own body (you know you hit it when you get that sunburst of pain). you have to fight dirty because some people will beat you to death in a fight (sometimes by accident), and if you are being attacked, then you should fight to stay alive. if you are broke and friendless, than learn how to run really fast

>Getting beat up doesn't even hurt that bad. Once you get enough head trauma to lose anything but the most basic brain functions, the rest is easy
there's a reason most boxxers end up with child like personalities, and/or parkinsons/braindamaged

yeah man I'm a 4 stripe blue belt. I should be getting my purple in a couple of months.

my professor insists on competing and medaling before he promotes you between belts. I agree with that. I've competed 3 times and got gold once and silver two times. I'm actually pretty good and beat 99% of other blue belts at my academy. but I prefer a conservative professor than a quick one

bullets from nowhere flying at you and people all around you dying. i bet stats also show people shot wildly into the jungle as much as did not shoot at all. wingless flight is just a chicken before getting butchered.

>thinks belt rankings are like levels in a video game
i know a Kyokushin school that grades once a year at most and there's people there seven years before they hit 2dan grading.
Lebanese TKD McDojos do gradings every month and a half to suck money out of the students and have badges and photo shoots and all sorts of whacky crap.

learn how to run.

Kinda. They worked out that the biggest concerns of soldiers are: getting hurt and hurting others.
Nobody sane wants to do either, but you can train decent people to do it with drills so the enemy is shredded before they think too much.
I've had a couple of really good students get to that level, if you get in their space they'll zap you in the eyes and the groin the same way you blink and flinch when a fly buzzes your eyes. That's the level where you need to learn control, beginners are worried about what they can't do, intermediates are worried about what they can do.

Find a good boxing place, sign up, start training and sparring

look like a hard target, but not a tasty one.

This is what I teach all my girls. Throw stones and run.
>Run till the attacker stops for a breather.
>Immideatly attack with stones.
>Run. Repeat until he is down and out. Then make facebook video of humiliation.

good advice, underrated poast

simply run and shy away from altercations, if you don't have the will in your to fight, you'll never enjoy it.
you can learn to fake it, hence all the martial arts shilling ITT, just as you can learn to shy away from fighting.
but in the end if it isn't in your nature you're best to just avoid physical altercations.

Would work.
Statistically though, the determined stranger is rare, the attacker is usually a relative, neighbor, co-worker or classmate.
When it's guys fighting, it's usually men from the same social level killin each other over status first, women second.

Find a good gym to train at.
>BJJ is good for submission training
>Western wrestling for manhandling people
>Boxing/Muay thai for striking
Some people think that their McDojo styles are better because they're "more realistic" whereas the above are for sport, but truth is that most of those places sell you absolute bullshit or things that are so brutal that you would go to jail for using, like jointlocks and pressure point attacks. Learn to throw a punch and lock up a good choke and you're better prepared than 95% of the population.

This guy has a good point OP. Similar to lifting weights, it can really be intimidating to go into a gym where dudes fight, but the truth is, most of us train because we love it, and love to see new people. Find a good gym and you'd probably be surprised at how welcoming people will be.

tl:dr

predators eyes are drawn to the way that unwillingness to fight shapes your posture and how you move and speak. It draws their attention like a hot girl with big tits does to normal people.
Forget all the "BJJ is better than Pa-Kua!!" internet horseshit, a little training and experience changes the way you appear to predators.
As well as looking timid or retiring, they also like people who aren't aware of their surroundings. A five foot nothing little shit will head-butt a 6'5" guy just to impress a girl or even just to go to sleep that night feeling like a winner.
Don't be shifty eyed and paranoid, but calmly alert.

Dude you are 27 why would you be getting into a fist fight?

>using the can't stop with the homo
the evidence is really stacking up

Just stop being a faggot and get in a fight. Then you won't be nervous about it

Kind of seems like you've just answered your own question with your picture OP. Join a boxing class?

too short: didn't read
> Looks like this poster is finally ready to come out of the closet, and Sup Forums is his fabulous runway.
