Damn, that's knowledge right there. I had no idea how serious choking would be of an offense. I have no intention of fighting people in the street. Still, if someone tries to hurt me physically I will have to choke them, it's all I know.Quote:

We are talking the difference in being assaulted vs. being in a duel.
My understanding is the law doesn't apply if you are being assaulted and defend yourself, now if your the one being assaulted and you get choked unconscious the law applies to the attacker.
If your in a duel, neither parties are protected. Mind you, dueling is subject to circumstances and legal battles. You may "get off", but at what expense?
I got jumped in the locker room at school a few months back, by 3 guys. Waited until I was changing from gym and had my shirt over my head. Didn't work out to well for them. One caught a straight right and got dropped. Another left hook to the eye. Third ran away. Biggest one I locked up with gullitine, he's the one that ate the left hook. Told him he fights back, he'll eat a knee or I'll put him to sleep. He went limp and said Ok, don't hurt me. Than I sent one of the kids watching to get the gym teacher. By time he got there and I let the get stand up. His eye was completely closed from the hook.
I completely defended myself with witness's. Got kicked out of school for a week. And was up for JR National Honor Sociaty because of this I didn't make it. All because some dumb ass's thought they were forming a gang like the bloods or crips and wanted to have a beat down on someone to prove they were bad ass.
What did I learn. Walk away when you can, fight when you have to. If you have good coach's and parents that have raised you right, you will know which one you have to do. Reguardless of the outcome.
Fighting is most of the time about a couple guys trying to prove themselves. Most of the time because they are scared weak people on the inside. I have no problem walking away from a fight if I can. I have proved myself everytime I have stepped into a boxing/kickboxing ring, cage, or onto a Jiu Jitsu mat. Most of these wanna be tough guys would piss themselves put into those places.
I am actually typing this from Prison.
invite him to the place where you train. Not to fight him but to give him an outlet and a place to let go of his aggression. Both of you will get the chance to earn each others respect and will understand each other better. You might do him alot of good if he is a troubled soul.
crazy wise for a 13 year old kid. whoever brought you up deserves a medal.Quote:

1. Shedding: When someone about to fight starts taking off articles of clothing to prepare for the fight.
2. Woofing: Verbal racial/sexual/derogatory insults thrown in an attempt to "rile up" a potential opponent
If you see 2+ people shedding and woofing, it doesn't matter where you're from, everyone knows what that behavior means. The best fight is the fight that never happens in the 1st place. So if you commonly have guys shedding and woofing at you, there's something that could be in your persona and the way you communicate with people that incites that behavior/or fails to diffuse aggressive male behavior.
The thing you should be worried about are actual predators. Robbers, murderers, psychopaths. They are actively seeking to harm you and will show none of the precursors to violence that the "tough guy" will show. They hunt just like predatory animals and don't strike until they're in good position, ie you won't see them comming till the gun is in your back or the knife is in your side. The point is you never...ever...have to fight the "tough guy" unless that "tough guy" is physically threatening your loved ones, which isn't usually the "tough guy" target anyway. Keep the fighting in the cage, unless someone is actually trying to kill you.
I dont know if hes tryin to funny in this video...but this is the funniest shit i seen in a long while !Quote:
