RE: Do You Limit Your Action and Behavior In A Fight?

I have only ever been in a couple of fights in my life that were not in a controlled environment and in these cases I have found that most people don't really know how to fight. They think they do for some reason and will come at you with haymakers and wild shots that if you just know how to cover up you (well, i suppose me) will be fine. In all of these situations I just wrapped up the other guy until he was unable to fight anymore then only release them once they agree to calm the eff down.

It has also been my experience (from watching other people fight) that the "winner" of street or barfights normally end up hurting themselves as well because they don't know how to punch properly. It is really easy to break a finger on someone's head, as strange and perhaps cruel as that sounds.

I am happy to say that months or even years later I have become friends with all but one of the guys I got into a scrap with :) This is because we matured and realized that the reason why we fought in the first place was alcohol-fueled and over something really really stupid. :)
