Street fight!!!

[Danny Stolfi]

Great advise, if your an adult you'll go to jail, if you a minor your could end up in Juvenile detention (where I worked for 10 years, trust me there's not much difference). Forums are not good for legal or medical advice. Most dopes that post and give responses in such matters don't have a fucking clue what they are talking about. Bottom line avoid altercations if at all possible.

What the forums lawyers aren't telling you (because they are ignorant) is that now in most states (specifically New York) placing your hands/arms near anyone's throat during a fight/attack is a misdemeanor, and if they go unconscious its a class E felony.

Watch how well the "self defense" argument works for you, after the fact.

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.

\There's a HUGE difference in defending yourself in an assault (i.e. you walking out the the grocery store at 10:30 at night ,after Jiu Jitsu class of course, and as you walk up to your car you get slammed face first into your car and you have a knife in your back and you defend yourself by choking them unconscious.) versus getting in a bar fight over a spilled beer or a fight in school because you guys have beef each over liking the same girl. 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.

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.

Use your "spider-senses" to help you avoid confrontation. If you don't have them, develop them. Don't be reactive to someone taunting you. You can avoid all "tough guy" type fights. "Tough guy" fights have precursors to violence which are common in every culture/race that you can easily identify;
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.
