How long would it take (to train at boxing) and be able to defend yourself?

Once again, you're comparing yourself to people here which is pointless. We know what we are capable or not capable of and we act accordingly. You told us YOU can't fight well, yet YOU engage in fights. Simply stupid.

If you watch a stuntman perform a dangerous stunt but he tells you "don't try this at home!" do you get pissed and call him a ****ing hypocrite then go do it? No, because you know that just because he does something doesn't mean you can or should.

Wow. Comparing your situation to Rosa Parks just brought you to a new pathetic low.

 

sorry brah i thought i was replying to someone else

 

Really? I've had a guy walk straight up till he was an inch away from my face and threaten to kill me, guess what I did... I laughed at him and walked away. Another guy was threatening to come back with his friends and "do me over" because his girlfriend started arguing with me over a seat. I spoke to him and he ended up shaking my hand and apologising.

There's been many, many times in my life when I could have had fights but I'm not that immature and pathetic.

If a guy walks up and punches you, that's self defence, completely different to somebody walking up and insulting you so you insult him back and you start a fight which is what this is about.

Nobody can start a fight on you using words, somebody has to throw the first punch. If somebody comes over to you and doesn't throw a punch they don't have the balls to start the fight so want you to. Standing their arguing with the idiot until one of you hit each other makes you a ******.

I don't think you even understand what you're talking about.

 

AGAIN, this has NOTHING to do with it either way! Stop proving how stupid you are to everybody. You come here asking what YOU should do, but want turn it around and talk about what everyone else would do now? And someone who is a great fighter telling you to avoid confrontation is no different than someone who gets their ass kicked regularly telling you to avoid confrontation. Why can't you comprehend this!?
You also continue to prove why people hate you so much, because you can't even have a discussion without acting immature and name-calling like a little kid, so there's no point in anyone trying to be polite with you anymore.
Just go away and get your weak fairy ass kicked some more while ignoring everyone's advice. You're obviously not well liked on this message board because you act like a flaming *****. Stop wasting everyone's time.

 

......

 

Just to stop you right there, most of the guys here have real world experience.
Most of them are boxers, kick boxers, some are grapplers or judoka, etc. It wouldn't surprise me if a few of them have worked in security or law enforcement.

I train security officers in empty hand control and self-defence. The simplest advice (which I have already given you), is to avoid confrontation whenever you can. These are people getting paid to be involved in physical confrontations and we teach them to avoid them entirely unless it's absolutely necessary. Even when they're on the job, 90% of their work is non-physical.

 

What the hell are you talking about?

I haven't mentioned your sexuality once, beyond what was relevant to this discussion, if you want to use that as your life raft to get out of this **** storm, then by all means use it, but do yourself a favour and take away at least one piece of advice given to you in this thread.

Walking away from a fight is always the best option, regardless of what damage you think it does to your pride/dignity/honour/self-esteem/self-image or whatever. Remaining in a situation that is headed for trouble is just ignorant, arrogant and could be outright dangerous.

You can play the martyr all you want, on the internet people will talk a lot of **** and call you names, they'll threaten you and say all kinds of terrible things. In the real world, which you seem so fond of, someone will eventually call you out on it. Occasionally you'll win, occasionally you'll lose. One day, if you're unlucky enough, you're going to get seriously injured or killed, but at least your dignity will be in tact.

 

Just give up everyone, he's obviously just looking to argue at this point, don't waste your time.

Oh please let christmas come early this year!
