Wouldn't it be more practical to apply that "generous" pressure to a persons balls? I think that would make them feint faster than pinching their trap muscle lol

Well I was technically signed up against my will, but that's besides the point. Yes I have used it in a real fight, over a dozen times. Only in two of those fights did I rely on strength, the others were purely technique. Believe me, I am not a very strong person physically and never have been, I can't bench more then 200, and at best I was lucky to run a mile in 9 minutes, but I've only lost one fight in my life, and that was before I began any sort of training. I've been in a hand full of tournament, I took second in a couple of them for mat holds and counters.

1. take a hard object.

2. go behind someone.

3. hit them slightly over that pointy bone on the back of the head.

Wow you actually managed to be in more street fights than I have in my entire life and I am older than you and look for trouble often. If you have been in that many fights, I strongly suggest investing in a firearm before you lose one because it will happen eventually. And if you can bench even close to 200 without working out you may be stronger than you think. I always thought I was a weak person until I realized my normal strength without working out is practically double the average person (I know this now from training new people and yes they were all girls).

I do do some workouts, that's the problem. And you realize I'm counting school fights right? Seriously if you take school out of the equation it's down to like 3 or 4. I got in a lot of school fights because I'm normally a polite guy, until someone tries to pick on me for being a nice guy at which point I lay them out.

Ahhh yes school fights. Ok I understand now. I was going to say, real street fights usual wind up in the ER or hospital unless someone is around to stop it before it gets out of hand. Heck when I was a bouncer I even knew some of the paramedics by name. Of course I dont consider 8 goons in security uniforms beating the shit out of some drunk asshole a street fight lol

And I find the best attitude to avoid fighting is an indifferent one. Being polite only lets people take advantage of you. Bieing rude makes people want to take advantage of you. Being indifferent makes you fly under the radar.

Another top tier fighter:

Considered the pound for pound best MMA in the business. He is lean, but not big at all:

Considered one of the best MMA fighters.... Machida:

BJ Penn, one of the most dangerous fighters ive seen in MMA:

The list goes on and on. IN fact, it seems the stronger and stockier they are, the more they lose LOL

you should find some fights of Mirco Crocop or Mamed Khalidow (last 1 is fighting for Poland like me Very Happy

)

by **Champion** Tue Jun 01, 2010 5:01 pm

Yeah I looked those guys up, not exactly huge people. In fact, I would argue that if strength were that big an issue, why don't we see steroid monsters in the MMA community (lets not talk about lesner he is just a freak of nature).

by **Aardvark** Tue Jun 01, 2010 5:05 pm

Yeah in teh last two years of high I learned how to stare people into a hole.

The only fighter to come out of POland that I was ever a fan of was Andrew Golatta (spelling?) and he failed me with all his cheap low blows. I wish he fought clean, he was a great boxer.

by **bzyk** Tue Jun 01, 2010 5:34 pm

he don't fight like 3 years if I good remember bet yes he was one of the best polish boxers

He was not only one of the best polish boxers, he was one of the best in the world. He just faught very dirty... low blows, biting and lots of other barbaric shit LOL I loved that guy.

In other words once I grab you you are finished. LOL

by **Dray The Fingerless** Tue Jun 01, 2010 8:47 pm

pretty much lol. but Yin sounds like the kind of guy wholl tire you and run till your in his reach and BAM.

by **YinYang** Tue Jun 01, 2010 8:48 pm

LMAO your completely right Razz

i have very little grappleing experiance

however i have 1 friend in ju-jitsu and another in wrestleing who i intend to learn as much as i can from

by **Aardvark** Tue Jun 01, 2010 8:49 pm

Best fighting style I've found is a combination of holds and counters. Haven't met a person yet that I couldn't take down with a proper hold.

by **Dray The Fingerless** Tue Jun 01, 2010 8:50 pm

best choices indeed for close combat. Judo is very good as well for close combat. Thing you should learn thou Yin, is destroying your opponents focus and mind.

by **YinYang** Tue Jun 01, 2010 8:51 pm

i have that down with my rather impressive stamina and ability to move fast and keep that pace for a very long time

by **Champion** Tue Jun 01, 2010 8:54 pm

You will be surprised how fast and how far I can run. I think you forget that I am an athletic person. But I would not even fight ying.. for the simple fact that I know from experience that firstly, you never know who you are fighting (I mean, I know its yin but for all we know he could have some amazing natural talent in martial arts). And secondly, even the shittest fighter can land a lucky blow. For those reasons I avoid fighting by all means possible unless I absolutely have to.
