AMOG/Drunk Guys Getting in your Face

[.smooth.]

Hey, I recently met a guy named Bas Rutten, You may have seen him on youtube, with his hilarious street fighting dvd, but anyway...

A really cool thing I learned from him is, when thing's seem to be looking badly for you... Ex. a drunk guy, amog, w.e is getting in your face, or seems like he wants to fight, the thing to do, is to strike this "pose".

take your right hand, close it into a fist and touch your chin, rest your elbow against your chest.
Take your Left hand, close it into a fist, and, bending at the elbow, put it under your right elbow.

This is almost like a... "Hmmm..." pose. People do it when looking at artwork, or something that interests them. usually more high society.

Anyway... the reason to hit this position when you see, or think "danger", is...

It's really easy to "bust" a right elbow to the guys face.
It's easy to open your hand and grab his fist, if you're fast enough.
It's easy to follow any move with a left straight to the face.
You have complete mobility with your torso, so you can "dodge" any haymaker coming at you.

You will almost always see haymakers when people fight you on the street. This can be dodged by simply moving backwards, or slightly to the left or right. Then once they are off balance from the punch they just threw, you can hit them with right, left and right straights.

And ALWAYS REMEMBER!!!
When in a street fight, the first move to go for is a kick to the groin!

and always use fighting as a VERY VERY last resort.
Ive only ever been in one fight, it was at a pit party, i was makin' out with some 19 year old's ex girlfriend. Anyway he was drunk and I tackled him to the ground, punched him in the face, and then peaced it. I live in upper canada so This is quite common.

Fighting is NOT the way, and in no way am I conveying that, though, this knowledge is good to have when in dire situations.

A good thing to do, if in a situation where you have created the tension, and he wants to fight you... You can relax the tension by saying...
"Haha, [Big Smile] you've got a lot of confidense, I respect that.
and you're out. Girls will respect you, guys will respect you.
The alpha male is respected for how observant he is. Be observant, be rational, and don't fight until it's absolutely necessary.

If you have a guy all up in your face, tell him to back down. If he keeps pressin, fight him.

If you want to take on a drunk(not just "intoxicated"), use whatever you can and get him on the ground, his balance will already suck without you helping him off of his feet.

I've been there done that with the party fight scene. Ive been in two myself and got my ass kicked the first fight, didn't really have the intensity. suffered a welt on my cheek, couple sore ribs, and cut knuckles.

Second fight was a different story. wasn't a fun fight(i gave him some warnings), i ended it pretty quickly with the help of a steel fence pole. i didn't bother to stick around after that one to see if he was okay, i wasn't guilty of anything in my mind.

The point I'm making is, make boundaries for yourself. If a guy crosses yours, let him know respectfully, if he mocks you and keeps pissing you off, give him a warning... If he still gets on your nerves, lay him out as fast as possible. 'respect' and 'honor' went out the window long before it started, so just get the job done with any way you can.

--

Again, don't take crap from amogs,drunk guys, or anybody else. Hold to your pride and integrity even if it means getting your butt kicked.

If a guy is in your face
It is your job to effectively remove him from there, preferably for a long time until the paramedics show up

The only guys who start fights are those with low self-esteem and haters.

The first thing my sensai said to me when I tried out a free consultation for Tiger Schulmann's karate.

"Those guys you see out there at the bars starting fights have low self-esteem and they need to prove themselves.

As far as idiots, I think intoxication can lead them to do that.

I agree .. U should never start a fight .. But if it cant be avoided u have to fight.

As i said before , use fight as a last solution .

Only when you feel the threat u can fight .

And try to hit him the first . Cuz sometimes first hit is what decides the winner .

Fighting is not cool .

You were lucky to meet Bas, he is one of the great fighters in mixed martial arts history.

I prefer to avoid fights. If I bump into a drunk guy and he turns around angrily I just smile and say 'sorry mate'. If someone tries to start a fight I wont go into it. I always say that if someone hits my I'll hit back but its never happened to me, probably because of what I've just mentioned.

Exactly! I won't strike someone unless they strike me first or if they strike somebody close to me.

I'm really good at talking my way out of fights, and when push comes to shove, I would suggest not giving in to his egotistical methods of "being a man".

Also, you should be tight enough with your group that if something was to go down, They'd be there to help you out.

EDIT: This is in reference to, if someone starts throwing punches at you!

 

[drmeathead]

why fight? you can break your hand and be unable to work for a living like a real man. or you can bust up your face and be embarassed at work and made to feel like an ass...sober, daily for extended periods of time. or you can even go to jail.

the above poster is right fighting is for LSE guys. seriously who the **** cares what a few drunk strangers think of you. unless you live in a one horse town...there are another 20000 people out that night that dont give a **** what you do.

 

[MMA Juan]

Hold to your pride and integrity even if it means getting your butt kicked.

Amen

True. I NEVER start fights, but I'll be sure to end one . I guess I'm a fighter. I just like the thrill of it. :box: .

A man doesn't start a fight, little boys start fights. A man will use all possible avenues to avoid the fight, but if need be a MAN ends it. Don't sell out your values or beliefs for anybody. You gotta stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.

 

[everywomanshero]

Hmmm let's see... go home and fvck the girl or get into a fight and get fvcked by a hairy man in prison.... tough choice there.

Seriously, worrying about fighting is about as LSE as it gets. If someone goes around starting fights, he is in such bad shape there is just nothing worse you could possibly do to the man.

Agreed, 110%. The last guy that got in my face got introduced to a left hook thrown with Bad Intentions, with 203 pounds behind it, thrown a bit wide, but with hip and back motion thrown into it. It caught him on the side of the jaw, where I was aiming. I actually threw it to START the damned fight. I was waiting for his counter shot, but he just stood there with a dumb look on his face, and then fell straight back, unconscious. It was a glorious shot.

 

[DJVladdy]

Haha good sh!t, Jack.

Am I the only one who thinks its a LITTLE weird, that people are creating a online forum post discussing how to deal with such situations...

If they try to prove themselves with me, they get a close up of the Keith Richards Skull ring I wear on my left hand. Sometimes an imprint of it stays on the side of their sore jaw the next AM.
