Fighting

The number of fights listed in the Members Page refers to the number of fights that person has had with me (I am Justin Brown in case you were wondering), but these fights are not fights, rather they are sparring matches. They cannot be called fights, because A Fight is described as: a hostile encounter or a verbal dissagreement, and the "fights" we are referring to, are no such thing. These matches are sparring matches, since To Spar is described as: to engage in a practice or exhibition bout of boxing. (Definitions via Merriam-Webster online Dictionary)

First off, I must inform you that all of the following information has been personally composed by me, so some of the dialogue may be a little hard to understand since we don't all spreckensy the same lingedy, or speak the same language. However, I am a certified blackbelt, and as such, I sincerely hope you take the following info into consideration. I have found that if you follow everything in the last two sections of this listing (the first section is composed of fighting moves), you can both learn to prevent fighting, and if you are unable to prevent, how to defend yourself.

Section 2
Fighting (Rules/How To)

Take note that the following list is not necessarily in order,
so read this before you fight.

1. Study your opponent, take note of their height, weight, and age.

2. If you can, try to figure out your opponents strength.

3. If you are same gender as opponent, then: height, weight, and age should help with judging strength, especially by comparing the numbers of your opponent to your own.

4. If you are Female, and opponent is Male, you probably shouldn’t be fighting, especially if he’s older, and once again: height, weight, and age will help you determine strength.

5. If you are Male, and opponent is Female, then chances are either you just broke up with her, and she's now slapping you, or her parents are Mercenaries, and she was sent to kill you.

6. Let your opponent throw the first punch, I’m not saying that you should let your opponent hit you pray tell, but don’t attack until being attacked.

7. Chances are, that since your opponent threw the first punch, they probably have been punching and kicking you for about 5 minutes now, if you’ve been trying to understand this.

8. So, to prevent this, once you’ve been attacked, start out with a few air jabs to scare them.

9. Always keep the upper hand on the situation.

10. Try your hardest to block any assault on you that your opponent dishes out.

11. Continue to block and jab, start letting your jabs hit, causing small bits of pain, but don’t try to kill the person.

12. After a while, try doing some combination hits, like a few punches in a row.

13. Follow this up with some kicking to the legs, and ankles, trying to knock them down.

14. If you can figure it out, try sweeping your opponent so that they fall, if not, try kicking your opponent in the calves, this will knock them down.

15. Eventually, you will get hit, when you do, remember that pain doesn’t hurt: yes, pain does hurt, but if you give into pain, you will lose the fight, instead, tell yourself that it doesn’t hurt, and hope that they won’t try to hit you wherever they did again. Remember that pain only hurts if it affects your health, i.e. blood, or broken bones.

The above guidelines are just that, guidelines, take them in stride, and do not keep kicking the person, if they are on the ground, improvise your movements.

Section 3
Fighting (Preventing)

Step 1: Confidence In Yourself

1. Trust yourself, and don’t let anyone tell you against this statement.

2. Believe that you can do it.

3. Be aware of your own personal strength, do not attempt to do something impossible, when you yourself, cannot possibly do anything.

4. Do not force your body beyond it’s limits, for instance, do not try to lift say 500lb on a weight set if you have never done so before.

Step 2: Physical Appearance

1. Stretch before doing anything strenuous with your body.

2. Build up your body to your own standards, not someone else’s.

3. Do not allow people to create a mockery of you, instead, tell yourself that they are simply jealous of you, and that the only reason they are putting you down, is because they themselves have an insecurity.

4. Take advice from people about your physical appearance, but do not take the put-downs.

Step 3: Listening

1. Listen to what people have to say, you don’t always have to follow their views, but at least listen.

2. Listen to yourself, meaning that what you think is the right answer, is right, to you, it may be the right view, but do not force anyone to follow you.

3. Now, I suppose that you are wondering what this has to do with learning how to fight, well, it doesn’t. These steps are simply guidelines to preventing the fighting in the first place.

4. The following are also guidelines, but they are a little more direct to actually learning how to fight.

Here’s How To Fight:

Step 1: Learn about your body, and it’s limitations; learn the extent of your Martial Arts knowledge, i.e. punching, kicking, and blocking.

Step 2: Know your skills, for instance, do not fight a Chinese Kung-Fu master, if you are only a white belt.

Step 3: Do not force your body to do anything too strenuous, without first stretching thoroughly; stretching will in the long run, save your life, because even if you can't do the splits, just being limber makes you more resilient to punches and kicks.

Step 4 (only applies to a scheduled fight): You are the only one that knows how you feel, if you are sick, tell somebody (like a good friend, and hopefully they can talk to the person that you were to fight, and resolve the conflict in your favor so that you do not have to fight), however do not tell the person you are fighting, because they will take it to their advantage, and take a cheap shot.

Step 4 (for spur-of-the-moment fights): In order to have a successful fight with an ending in your favor, you must be able to keep control of the situation at all times. Take note of who is winning, and if the winner is not you, do something about it. Such things to do would be: knock opponent down, run circles around opponent, try to confuse opponent; whatever it takes to buy yourself enough time to recover from any injuries/strikes inflicted on you.

*Although I did alter some statements, I give credit to ancient Chinese philosophers. I don’t know for sure which ones, but they do, and I thank them for making statements for avoiding physical fighting.
