When was the last time you had a punch up?

Was it back at school, on a night out with the lads/girls and things got a bit agro?

Maybe you've never had a fight and avoid any kind of confrontation at all costs.

Road rage by a racist driver it cut in and starled me as it had come along the wrong side of the road in nose to tail traffic and dived in near the junction. I just apped/touched my horn and he got out dancing, raving around my car and then banged really hard on then a nearly new Range Rover. Stupidly I got out and he was swearing and I said "stop it" he shoved me hard against the car and automticaly in my defence fist flew caught him on the chin and he was knocked out. intially I thought thank god he did not injure me etc then worried for the creature on the ground and others got out of their car and a guy threw water on its face. The others were very supportive and said they had footage and I was right to self defend and theyd back me - as we were waiting for the cops he got up swore and drove off and that was the last I heard about him It was scary and I would not recommend you get out of the car no matter how nasty etc the scum is

People in cars are next level crazy. Glad it worked out in your favour and you had witnesses to back you up. Usually it's the ones that start off being lairy quickly play the victim when they get a taste of their own medicine.

Pub and club can always be hairy. I pass a busy pub on my way to work and they had a metal detector to search for weapons. But inside they sell bottled beer and serve drinks in glass.

London

I'm very calm in stressful situations. Part of my Neurodivergency package is a lack of fear response.

One time I was in a car that span out on the motorway and while it was spinning my thought was, "hmm should probably put the hazards on. It's night and it'll help people behind us realise the danger" so I reached over mid spin to put the hazards on.

I've managed to avoid fights even while being a total gobshite to people who could flatten me because I'm just not scared of them and it's off putting I think. I'm also good at diffusing any tension I've created.

A few years ago now I was cycling on the road as I did very often,I was stopped at a traffic light and as it changes to green a car went flying past me but hit my arm with his mirror so hard that the mirror actually broke in peices! He kept driving so I raced after him (I was pretty quick back then) I cought him at a roundabout ahead his window was open and I said stop the car you just hit me a drove away ! He responded be saying just get away from me and now with nothing in front of him started to move off ,I was already enraged so I just punched him in the face through the open window and he flopped the the other side 2 seconds later I was grabbed by 2 police officers that were in the car behind him ! The guy got out and he was huge if he got out before I would not have punched him!!! He just said he wanted to go so they let him drive off and let me go 10 mins later !

Exeter - South West

Calais ferry terminal - many years ago

A well known football team whilst on pre season tour thought it would be a good idea have a kick around on the quay - whilst pissed up & waiting for the ferry - anyway one of them shanks his pass & knocks my wing mirror clean off!(of a hire car)

Anyway I get out of the car & give him proper punch in the face complete with a forearm smash in the follow through

Gotta say it looked cool & he hit the deck about 10ft away from where we made contact!

Loads of minions then piled out of the team bus - I assume to exact revenge on their team member but the manager blocked Their path and they got ushered back on the coach - ended the kick around too!

Very true, thanks.

However, as I said I would not do it again and you have a point.

Another point, people like the chap that attacked me often have no insurance, car not registered etc and carry a weapon and often not working etc so nothing to lose it is a way of life for these inbred, inbred parasites.

Some surprisingly open and honest replies.

I was expecting lots of comments from guys bragging about their numerous battles and bloodbaths.

Personally, growing up in Luton in the 70's and 80's, fighting was almost unavoidable, (i was stabbed in the stomach when i was 17).

Then i was in the military for 14yrs. Again, it was just part of the culture.

More recently?? Yes, still getting into fights or tussles fairly regularly. But as part of my job.

I definitely don't go looking for trouble, and would rather talk to calm the situation down.

But when a fight has been unavoidable, afterwards ive remembered how much i enjoy it.

Secret hideaway in the pennines

Working for so long in hospitality, you learn to defuse situations rather than aggravate them.

However, about 4 years ago, I have to physically out someone down on the floor and restrain them, before physically removing them from the premises.

This resulted in a visit from the police with an accusation that I assaulted then.

Once the police saw the CCTV footage, they charged the other person with assault and criminal damage

Years ago when i used to run pubs, i wouldnt care how big or what reputatio someone was. If they started a fight inside the pub i would stop it. I am not a big man but i was fearless. This was long before pubs had bouncers sonit was my job to stop the fight and remove at least one or more of the instigators.

Women were always the worst, the boyfriends / partners would get involved...

As bad as the reputations, i got on well with the majority of the travelling community and some even came to my add when a barred "gentleman" punched me in the face with a large glass ashtray.

I never got any buzz from the fights other than the adreniline, that would be of the scale, to get me through it.

Only ever seems to be when defending someone else. When I was 16 confronting three 18 year olds breaking into my disabled neighbours garden to steal apples. I ended up with a broken nose.

Last time was about 4 years ago when I disciplined a staff member for inappropriate behaviour towards a female colleague and he headbutted me. I left him with a bloody nose before he walked out claiming mental health issues and therefore couldn't be disciplined further.

Meanwhile I was suspended and about to lose my job for gross misconduct until the MD stepped in and put a stop to that.

About 10 years ago I was comming back from a BDSM event at Walsall. It was around 2am on a Sunday morning and utter carnage. Everyone everywhere was scrapping. I'd never seen anything like it. Apparently its quite normal. Now when I finish work at the weekend there is always a fight. 9 times out of 10 no one even lands a punch. Its like some kind of interpretive dance. But every once in a while it gets a bit graphic.

Outside Funny Girls in Blackpool. I was crossdressed waiting for a friend to arrive in a taxi. A bunch of lads walking by started shouting at me, obviously I ignored them and was looking in a different direction.

So this one guy walks up the steps and he’s in my face with the usual ‘why you dressed like that ?’ or words to that affect.

I look at him and then said quietly, that if I knocked him out, he’ll never live it down and believe me I can do it. I wasn’t sure if we would end up scrapping in the street but he did back off, obviously still giving it the big one whilst doing it.

I’m sure if he’d tried to hit me I could’ve put up a good fight (not really dressed for it) I did box in the Army. So he’d lose in the long run even if he beat me in the fight, his mates would never let him forget a TV knocked a few of his teeth out.

Not exactly a fight but one of the closest in the last few years.

As a kid I was always having fights with my siblings, really violent episodes that involved fire pokers, heavy walking sticks, biting and blood etc. My parents were too busy knocking each other about to be shocked or angry and we were never reprimanded. It wasn't until I was in my late teens that I realised that violence wasn't a normal part of family life.

Must have been early 20s in a nightclub toilet, 2 women jumped the line in the toilet and I said hey there's a queue, one of them came up to me and squared up, I'm tall, broad and fiery but would never throw the punch first. Luckily for me my grandad used to fight in the army and had taught me how to fight, so when she laid into me I defended myself, then the mate joined in! Next thing bouncers burst in, but they knew the girls by their 1st names and so I was esc@rted out of the building. I'd never been in the club before and never went again. Did freak me out for a few days, luckily only my pride was injured.

Somewhere in Co. Down

When I was a kid with my brother or sister the very odd time.

I don't agree with violence I certainly don't get a thrill out of it like some have mentioned on this thread and I avoid anyone who does enjoy this behaviour.I saw enough of that growing up in my home.

I'm a grown adult who will walk away from a situation ( not flight just decide against escalating it to the point of violence) I have a very hot temper but I control it rather than resort to violence.

That’s hard to say technically I try not to

But then technically I fight ever week if you could call it that

Sparring comes with the territory off being in the fight game

But as in a fight out side a professional setting ie a professional fight or training back in my teens

"Some interesting and honest replies.

If the opportunity arrose would anyone join something like a fight club (shit, just broke the first 2 rules)

Would fighting for fun without repercussions be cathartic?

A very good question. For some it must be.

Look at organised football hooligans. They went to games deliberately to fight opposing fans. No interest in the actual game.

They got a huge buzz from it.

Of course they were interested in the football. Ridiculous to say they werent. "

Read my comment more carefully...i didnt say they had no interest in football. Just no interest in the game.

They would go to the town/city their team is playing in, and meet the home fans for a prearranged punch up.

They wouldn't even attend the game

Those of you on here that fight professionally or as part of a sport. Do you ever get that "seeing stars" sensation after a hard blow to the head. Anyone been ko'd?

Oh jesus...are you one of those guys who just like to criticise??

Im speaking from personal experience with work. And also friends who enjoyed that lifestyle. (Not me, i thought it was idiotic)

There are two sorts of football violence...preplanned and spontaneous.

Preplanned is organised crews, meeting usually some distance from the actual match.

Spontaneous is usually fans who attend the game and clash after the match...either outside the ground or at transport hubs.

That's why i very carefully chose my words. I said organised preplanned meets.

Now, are you going to try and criticise some more, or actually contribute to the thread???

Mike Tyson recently made a comment about the Internet making people feel way to comfortable to chat shit about others. I often find that people do get a little to brave when behind a keyboard and less likely to have to deal with a physical repercussion.

Not since school. I've always been built like a brick shit house and it seems to deter most aggro.

In my able bodied days, I remember having to put my son on my shoulders and run from hooligans at Leeds United.

The last time I remember having to properly lose my temper was with a girl in the sixth form who'd said very unpleasant things about me and my character and brought my infant son into it. I threatened to put my size 8 Docs down her throat, I seem to recall. I'd never have done it, but issuing the threat in icy calmness seemed to do the trick.

When I was younger and did throwing events for school/county, a lot of the boys liked to try and show they were stronger or whatever than me and sometimes egged me on to fight them. Again, I only needed to respond once. No-one egged me on after that.

I have mellowed significantly with age, and have just about accepted my relatively newfound-vulnerability as a disabled person. I hate that bit of it (being technically more vulnerable). My top half can still look after me but the bottom half let's the side down now

Is it part of human nature to want to fight and is this something that is being filtered out of us?

I've fought in various combat sports since I was a kid. Started with Karate and Judo, boxing in my teens that led to kickboxing and Thai in my early 20's then finally mixed martial arts.

Had a few scraps outside of the ring but not something I'm proud of or would do outside of defense as a last resort.

For me they are clearly remembered because they are examples of my previous tendency to step in and help people and in each case I came out worse.

There are other examples but most of those had similar outcomes.

Despite where I grew up I've never found violence to be the answer to any disagreement and never subscribed to some of the macho bs that others do.

If someone I care about is in danger I will protect them. If it's a random stranger in the street, unfortunately my experience has taught me to keep walking.

"Earlier this season on the rugby field

One on one or a team effort?"
always starts 1 on 1 but usually you get pulled apart and cop a sneaky one in the ear on the way out by the smallest player (cheeky little twat) and go get shower unless the ref is awesome (rare) and you get to smash em next time they get the ball its great to fire up the warrior spirit great way to release pent up stress from the week usually one backs down out of exhaustion by the end were all mates talking about it chatting shit taking the piss out of each other looking forward to the next battle its rarely personal unless its a derby then its full on war but its awesome

Worked doors up until a year ago, so fairly recently. You try your best to avoid trouble but it's obviously an inevitably in that job. Glad I'm out.

"Fights?

Goodness no, perish the thought. Is this some kind of short person problem?

"

in so far as idiots looking for trouble like to pick on folks smaller/fewer than them, yes. yes it is.

to answer the op, yes, in self defense or defense of someone im with.

and no, no buzz, no pleasure. Massive adrenaline sure but each time it's been deeply unpleasant. what makes me most angry is that some fuckstick left me with no choice. makes me want to scrub myself and my psyche clean

"Thanks for sharing your stories. Seems to be a lot of mob mentality or pissed up people looking for agro.

Those of you on here that fight professionally or as part of a sport. Do you ever get that "seeing stars" sensation after a hard blow to the head. Anyone been ko'd?"

I got close to it.

Went back to Karate too soon after crashibg my motorbike and landing on my head, caught a hit to the head that made me dizzy and start puking.

So, it would seem that most people would go out of their way to avoid a physical conflict unless it was to protect a friend or loved one.

The majority of women who have commented find violence abhorrent and/or have never had a fight.

Sorry I haven't commented on every post but I have read every reply.

What about watching boxing or MMA fights. Who enjoys those?

I don't have a TV so haven't watched any in about 20 years. I did used to enjoy but they became a bit of a hug-a-thon.

I've never seen any MMA or UFC matches.

An actual physical fight?

School.

Came close to it a few months ago on a night out though. Wee nippy woman screaming in my face accusing me of something I hadn't done and I had to politely ask her to wind her neck in. Bouncer got involved. It's scary how quickly your adrenaline ramps up to 100.

Combat sports such as MMA, UFC and boxing are skilled and controlled, unlike a street fight.

Anything can happen in a street fight, one punch, or push can lead to someone losing their life.

I will avoid situations that put me in the position of threat, I don't glare at people, if someone shoulder bumps me I ignore it and never get road rage over a piece of tarmac. There could be a point that defending myself or others becomes essential, I would know that point has been reached and react accordingly.

When I was 12 or 13 I got into a ring with a friend who was the Irish boxing champion for his age and weight category.

His family were all champions over a 10 year period.

I had never boxed before and was only there as his sparring partner and to see if I had any skill.

I gave him a bloody nose and he never laid a glove on me so apparently my footwork was excellent.

It wasn't something I was interested in though so I didn't stick at it but I can say I left my mark on a national champion.

Thankfully around 7 years ago, I had been running a gig at a local pub, I insisted it be free entry to draw in the punters, the majority came for a good night of live music. A group of “Chavs” decided to come in and cause trouble. They were groping women and when one stood up to them they threw a glass of water in her face.

One lost two teeth and another a broken nose then they were flung out the door in a pile one at a time by myself and the bouncers

I thought I was going to be thrown out too for my reaction but they saw what happen and only complimented me on how I got them sorted so quickly.

A few people here name their first or only fight being at primary school. Working in school I rarely see or even hear about any fights. There are a few kids that hit others but no retaliation. There are a lot of kids though that have got mouths on them and shity attitudes. Mabey these are a result of never having any consequences of acting like a cunt.

Talking, negotiating, trying to nip thing in the bud before it escalates is a common theme on here. But what then when it fails. Globally we have wars when talks go nowhere.

State sanctioned fighting.

So, if we needed volunteers to top up our troops but we're not at the compulsory conscription point yet. Would you pick up arms and fight.

A week ago in a carpark. A young lad about 25 complaining about my car being too close to his. I wound the window down whereupon he upped the anti trying to impress his embarrassed girlfriend. On and on he went. I was actually on the phone at the time. I hung up got out the car and he went nuts shouting and swearing then poked ne in the chest. I unloaded a body shot and he went down on one knee gasping for air. He's probably still there now. An ex boxer never loses his punching power!!

I had a road rage incident when a driver cut me up a few years back.

He wanted to go with me for a bare knuckle to settle things. Kept on asking me if I knew who he was…. some bloke called Ronnie Pickering. I’d never heard of him….

I'm a redhead and despite never seeking out confrontation I used to have an uncontrollable temper if pushed.

I have taken on a dozen others without thinking when they picked on a younger boy with a stutter.

That could have ended badly if adults hadn't intervened.

I must admit, I was never singled out as such (probably because back home in Scotland, redheads are commonplace) I'd say I've always had a fiery temprement compared to my non redheaded siblings x

I got into loads of fights at school. I used to let them just beat me but there came a point I decided to fight back. I was a very easy target back then. And bullies loved having someone to pick a fight with for no reason.

I would always avoid a physical confrontation as an adult. It's not worth it, your life could be over in a second.

When it comes to fight to flight I'm more of a freeze....

The last fight I had was almost certainly with my brother at school. The best of which resulted in a left foot volley to his cherry tomatoes that required a highly embarrassing visit to the school nurse for him . As an adult, I was assaulted at a bus stop, but didn't really get a chance to fight back if I want to as I was decked immediately with one punch that I wasn't even aware was coming...

I got abuse because at some supermarkets, security staff invited me (in my wheelchair) to go straight in. I never asked to skip the queue, I always joined it but at our local Sainsbury's, the queue snaked up and down kerbs (no drops) and so I had to wait in an active lane of traffic instead. But obviously some twats would prefer that people like me were run over by a car than get inside a shop 10mins before them

I’m definitely an avoid or placate a situation but have flipped once or twice over the years in a situation. One said situation I was in a club with my bf at the time and a group of his mates. All minding our own business, dancing etc when a bloke from another smaller group of lads decided to purposely bump into and get in the face of one of our group. Attempts to ignore were initially tried then words were exchanged. Whilst more of the blokes waded in and others were trying to break it up one of the blokes from the other group stayed back and came over to me starting to say threatening stuff in my ear. This overwhelming rage came over me at his audacity to purposely stay back and approach the only female and get in her ear so I pinned him against the wall, put my bottle of drink to his throat and told him in no uncertain terms to do one or I’d happily use said vessel. He wasn’t expecting that response and it had the desired effect fortunately as I don’t know what I’d have done if he had responded. They all cleared out shortly after that and we all continued to enjoy our night.

I haven’t physically fought in years. However I have given a few people a good hiding when I was younger. Takes me a lot to blow and loose it. Now a days I’d try and calm someone down. However I know I’ve still got it in me if it was absolutely needed.

It's interesting that no one has posted being in a fight they lost

I generally succeed in diffusing even the worst situations I find myself in. I have however found myself in a situation where my best mate started a fight (remembering back he used to that alot). In this instance he decided to take on 4 marines which wasn't going well for him. He was held up in a doorway with them basically punching his head in.

I reluctantly dived in but it didn't actually help. Despite temporarily incapacitating one of the four the odds were rebalanced when another 4 of them pitched up and dragged me out into the street. I was on the receiving end of a bit of a kicking when I saw a fifth guy an absolute man mountain heading towards the affray. He walked up, reached in and picked me straight up off the floor by my neck like I was a doll. He wagged his finger in my face and told me stop, I did actually laugh at this point as I was quite happy to stop being given a kicking. He told all eight of them to f@ck off back to base, and they did.

That probably could have gone a lot worse and stands as a great example of why it's the only fight I've ever been in.

"Outside Funny Girls in Blackpool. I was crossdressed waiting for a friend to arrive in a taxi. A bunch of lads walking by started shouting at me, obviously I ignored them and was looking in a different direction.

So this one guy walks up the steps and he’s in my face with the usual ‘why you dressed like that ?’ or words to that affect.

I look at him and then said quietly, that if I knocked him out, he’ll never live it down and believe me I can do it. I wasn’t sure if we would end up scrapping in the street but he did back off, obviously still giving it the big one whilst doing it.

I’m sure if he’d tried to hit me I could’ve put up a good fight (not really dressed for it) I did box in the Army. So he’d lose in the long run even if he beat me in the fight, his mates would never let him forget a TV knocked a few of his teeth out.

Not exactly a fight but one of the closest in the last few years.

"When was the last time you had a punch up?

Maybe you've never had a fight and avoid any kind of confrontation at all costs.

"

Mr here. 2006. I’d recently discovered my then fiancée was having an affair (more emotional than physical as she’d actually only slept with him once - the day before I gave her the boot.)

Anyway, a few months after I’d kicked her out I was walking from a pub we all used to frequent. He hadn’t been there that night (and had actually stayed away since I found out what they’d done.) But what he had done is waited in the shadows down the alley between the road and the car park. He jumped out on me and attacked me. He lost pretty damn quickly, and it was physically obvious.

The story he told her was he’d been randomly attacked on the way back from the pub, by a couple of football hooligans after the local match. Dozy cow bought it even though there hadn’t been a local match

Late 90's i think, im Morecambe of all places. Visiting friends at Uni & went to little local club.

Mate of a mate pastes some lad in the loo quite unknown to the rest of us.

His mates then attack the rest of us, we didn't have a clue why.

One guy had me by my long hair, kicking me in the face so i rugby tackled him & we went down some stairs (there's a theme developing here)

Bouncers broke it up, blood everywhere.

Saw one lad outside giving it large, so i stepped outside & headbutted him down a flight of stone stairs, whereupon someone hit me across the temple with a bottle!

We all looked a right bonny bunch getting stitched up in A+E.

Yes I agree. Spent a fair bit of time in A&E with friends that have had a sneaky cunt pull a knife or a bottle to try and make a name for themselves.

"I was a fight guy not flight guy I'd used to look for trouble to stop me thinking of the pain I grew up dealing with I've had a head stamped on till my skull fructurd and had sweeling to the brain n almost died I've had my right side of my face rebuilt with metal plates n I mean my right side of my face is all metal I'm blind in 1 eye and still did not learn my lesson I learn to be a flight person after my son was born that was 8 years ago n I made him a promise don't get this story twisted I was nasty piece of work and the damaged I've had done it took more 1 person to do it so always think is it worth the pain to rehab instead of being a man and providing for your family that's my story hope you don't judge "

Thank you for your brutal honesty. I think some people are hardwired to be violent or have a fascination with it. Somehow if you admit it you're viewed as a Psycho. Do you think violence can be an addiction like sex or substances? Are most people using violent video games and films as a "nicotine patch" to get a small fix?

So what do you think prompted you to start the fight again outside. Was it "unfinished business" or still on an adreline rush?

No wanting to fill this thread with my reply but I am reading all the replies.

How many of you would actively participate if we had one night a year similar to that in the purge.

Would you go out to fight, kill, settle old scores or hide away until its all over.

I might post this senario a thread in its own right seeing as this one will soon be full.

I learnt at a young age the importance of protecting my good looks.

I was a nasty piece of work at school but an older cousin took me under his wing, mentored me and helped shape the well rounded, caring, compassionate guy that you see today.

And I still look fucking gorgeous!

Not all that North of North London

I've only ever been in one fight on an equal footing, about 15 years ago I punched a guy who was out with of us via mutual friends after he was repeatedly abusive to my then partner. I felt ashamed but ultimately he'd just reduced my partner to tears and had ruined her night ajd had not responded to being told to fuck off so there was a lot of provocation.

I was beat up multiple times at school and on more than one occassion by the local hooligans well into to my 20s (including being hospitalised on one occassion) for the crime of being a little different so I pretty much abhore violence.

"It's interesting that no one has posted being in a fight they lost

I generally succeed in diffusing even the worst situations I find myself in. I have however found myself in a situation where my best mate started a fight (remembering back he used to that alot). In this instance he decided to take on 4 marines which wasn't going well for him. He was held up in a doorway with them basically punching his head in.

I reluctantly dived in but it didn't actually help. Despite temporarily incapacitating one of the four the odds were rebalanced when another 4 of them pitched up and dragged me out into the street. I was on the receiving end of a bit of a kicking when I saw a fifth guy an absolute man mountain heading towards the affray. He walked up, reached in and picked me straight up off the floor by my neck like I was a doll. He wagged his finger in my face and told me stop, I did actually laugh at this point as I was quite happy to stop being given a kicking. He told all eight of them to f@ck off back to base, and they did.

That probably could have gone a lot worse and stands as a great example of why it's the only fight I've ever been in."

I did in one of the early comments. Lost a frying pan fight to my brother.

Do you think that any of the group of hooligan would have attacked you if they were on their own or is it a mod mentally thing?

At school it was definitely about looking powerful in front of others.

I had an awful experience when I was around 15 when I feared fir my life and thst was one older kid who effectively took me hostage fir a couple of hours but other than that it was always, without exception the power of mob mentality

I hope the frying pan was unharmed?

Probably both. He was bragging to a group of girls how badly he'd hurt one of our group - who was at that moment lying on his back being treated by door staff. So i must have decided i wasn't having that.
