Mostly just asking out of curiosity, I don’t really have the time or the energy to be going to Judo classes RN.

I have heard some people say Judo actually, and karate, other just traditional boxing.

    Running. Fighting as an adult is super fucking dangerous and if someone is willing to start a fight with you, chances are they’re gonna win, it’ll happen really fast and you’ll be half conscious at best. If you want to be prepared for a street fight, bareknuckle fight your friends for fun with a third person stopping it when needed, this will result in concussions and its dumb as hell but its the only way you’ll tske a good punch without being laid out immediately. Do not ever get into a fight. If you are in a situation where you NEED to fight, like attempted kidnapping or something like that and not a mugging or dispute you got for the eyes wirh everything you have, dont let anything stop you from blinding the person and hopefully you can run away after but if you cant, at least they cant see, if for some reason that doesnt work tape a really really deep breath and keep breathing deep and try to fucking kill the person via strangulation, they will hit you, just power through because your life depends on it in this case. Know where to squeeze and make sure you have as much air in your lungs as possible if they try the same to you. Eyes are top priority tho, maximizes your chances of escape. But really, just dont get into a fight, if you get robbed just take the L and stay calm about it, if someone is acting tuff at you, just leave. There’s no shame in that, what’s shameful is wanting to fistfight people as a grown up

      lol this is actually right, great advise here. if you’re young fuckkng around and fighting your associates and friends, sure, that is helpful but otherwise yeah de-escalation when possible and learning how to get the fuck out is so crucial to being both a like interesting person and also not being dead

        9I dont fight but am or were pals with a lot of oogles who do for fun and it is good to get for face recreational bashed in if you are going to be putting yourself in danger, I can take a lickin and keep on tickin and feel pretty confident in a fist fight against a cop, that is kinds nice to have under your belt. But because of the same associations a biker connected creep who has been going out with my roommates friend , who is cool as hell and became my friend fast was immediately assumed to be fucking both of us cause she moved.into our place and was a woman and was stalked and had my place firebombed and had a genuine threat of death on my hands, avoid this sort of scenario. We hooked a car battery to our metal doorknob so if anyone who didnt text ahead of time to get entrance would have a bad fuckimg time. Thst kind of beige mentality fucks you up and I was absolutely willing to tske this fucker’s life and do prison for it cause it felt like him or me. Don’t be there but if you are there and truly feel backed into a corner, there is no means whatsoever to fall short of, skipping toen is the best option but we were gonna hot shot this guy until a treaty was made. I have had to face a borderline kill or be killed situation where I had made plans to kill cause it was necessary. It sucks.

        Edit: I should probably check up with a pro about this, just realized a life or death struggle is usually a therapist talk thing. When we had a meet to squash the beef I laid into the fiu who was going after us for hiring a guy to brick our window which led to my cat going missing, I wss so mad about Darby i kinda forgot we were trying to avoid axrusl murder. The other side has clearly forgotten tje grudge because murder grudges that go no where are a normal part of their life, I haven’t but in this case the best revenge is living well
