re: low life for life heartless

Best case scenario: Get away quickly.

Second best scenario: Strike and Get away

ther than like 9th grade and below fights. I've only been in two as an adult in my early 20s. Once I was jumped and attempted to be robbed walking to the bus one night. Only took one hit and a torn jacket but got away otherwise unscathed just a bruised cheek money in tact.

The other I was at a diveg sports bar some rando playing pool tried to fight me as I was watching a the TV over the pool table. He kept heckling me and I told him I dont know know him and i was jus watching the game. He was convinced he knew me and he was so upset I ignored him that I heard him rushing behind me as I was leaving I quickly turned and hit him with a beer bottle (It didn't break like the movies) and turned the jets on for about 45 seconds into a crowd at night to safety.

Point is both times I had no idea if they had a knife or gun and didn't want to risk it. My objective was to survive whether from a defense and evade or a quick strike and evade.

I've seen my dog do this in the woods on a run. We accidentally got between a waking bear and its cub. It growled and fake charged my dog sprinted nipped it and the bear chased it till fatigue. I got away clean and my dog did too. It knew a bear was bigger but he was faster.

re: this is the answer

This is only the correct answer unless someone is coming at you with the intention of seriously injuring you or worse.

Hard to get into a knock down drag out fight without getting marks on yourself, ask OJ how he did it.

If you are in a ready squat stance it is hard to put you on the ground.

No, there are simple grappling moves that can bring down who is “grounded” in a squat stance.

You respond only under one of two precepts. Both are SunTzu-inspired, in that they play to your strengths, and not his. There is no glory in these situations. You must WIN, not NEGOTIATE or PARLAY or PLEAD.
1. Turn. Run. Hard. Fast. Kick in a 25~ 200 and almost every would-be assailant has already given up. They are weak pr1cks who want easy prey. Now this is a great moment to turn around, assess the situation - ensuring they are broken - and begin abusing them, "You pVssies!! Thought you could take me, you f### worms! How do you feel now?" etc. Ideally you want to frustrate them sufficiently so they contemplate resuming the chase. Keep a steady gap, eyes on them all the time, and next time they won't even last 100m of hard effort. You're in charge now.
2. You assault the jerk immediately, with terminating force. Do not wait for a scripted escalation - scripted on his part, in which he exchanges insults, threats and then moderate physical acts. Do not give a signal you will go nuclear, just do it, do not do it randomly or with your fists like an untrained boxer. Your action must be hard, direct, immediate, and incapacitating. This means you can't invent it on the spot, you must have trained in this action and repeated it in preparation. So it becomes natural at this moment.
Example: raise heel of hand very hard under chin. This can break an assailant's neck and is incapacitating.
You DO NOT allow the aggressor to follow a script involving shoving you, then punching you before escalating.
Never play by THEIR rules. If you must fight, drop them immediately. Then leave the pr1ck on the floor. Your call if the situation allows you to pi55 on him before you leave.

Agreed strongly on the run first, if you're a runner.

You pull that move, and you've got all the advantage in the world.

1. You're away from the original scene, the one with backup, emotion, crowd.

2. You are recovered in seconds, your opponent is wheezing.

You run toward them just as fast, and drop-kick them. Once down, you kick them in the side of the head, then stomp on their neck. IF your opponent is hands-on-knees, which is likely, you don't need to drop-kick. Just kick them in the side of the head, then stomp their neck when they're down.

This works.

Serious question...I've never been in any kind of actual fight before and just started wondering what I would do if I ever got into one. I'm 6'0" 160lbs and decently strong, but I feel like weight would be more of an advantage than strength. What do you do to get the upper hand? Throw rapid punches or hard ones? Take it to the ground? Go for your opponent's neck, stomach, nose...?

Karate Chop to the throat, if they can't breath, they can't fight back; plenty of people can ignore pain keep going

Serious answer: you win it by avoiding it.

re: pacifist

Hitting first and harder than your opponent and really want to hurt him. No mercy.

As long as the fight were two combatants fist fighting, I never got off my feet. In general, a wrestling/M.M.A.-type fight on the ground was not best for me. Hitting me first would not have made much difference. As a younger fella (and not so young), I had too much pride to go down and too much pride to quit.
