I got mugged a little over a week ago. Thought I killed the guy. It was my first gloves off no rules in a long time and was my first time being mugged. I permanently damaged the guy. At least his hands and face. Was exhilarating but on the same hand I haven't had the world "go red" in very many years with the help of anger management classes and therapy. My elbow finally scabbed over but I've still got bruised ribs and a lump on the back of my head but the swelling went down. I was able to return to work today so that's good. Football, lacrosse, track and boxing background helped a lot with balance and reflex but really so did flying off the handle.

Yeah I've been in a few real fights,mostly in highschoool when I was dealing though. It'd be a lot different on the streets and hopefully I'll never have to fight on the street ever. One particular fight was before I was in boxing and this dude that was also 6ft tall and worked out as much as I did,he sold me fake ecstasy so I confronted him at P.E. when the teachers just left the class alone for 20-30 min. The fight ended up getting broken up when they came back. I broke his nose,I was bleeding under the eye a bit and my nose was also bleeding but neither of us even got any less intense,neither of us slowed down and we were just both FUCKED up after. No one won that fight

Jesus Christ that sucks you had to do that. Good on you for being able to defend yourself but fuck I hope that never happens to me. My best friend got robbed twice in a row recently. The second time at gun point. That's some horse shit ,thieves are the fucking scum of the earth.

Didn't truly feel the extent of my injuries until the next day. It was a pretty pussy tackle, but that didn't stop the hard shit under my ribs. I wasn't ready for it which didn't help.

Said he had a gun and was ready to "kill a muthafucka so run dat shit, wallet and cash and gimme the rings".. what was I supposed to do.. Pretty positive I broke a couple of his fingers if not one or both hands when he was trying to guard his face from a barrage of strikes from my Maglite. It was easy to get him off his guard, all I had to do was push my walking stick/cane between his feet and he was down and I was on him. Pretty sure I broke his nose too. I've never heard a grown man beg for mercy. That was... new.

Dude said he has a firearm what do you do.. I guess don't say you've got a gun and you're ready to kill someone if you don't have one. He's lucky I don't carry mine to work or he definitely would be dead.

Was the only time in my life I was relieved an attacker/opponent stood back up and was able to walk when I was done. I was terrified that I had just killed the guy after bashing him so hard. He had reached for his pockets when I was done with his face, so I stomped his guts and dick and punted his shoulder sockets with my work boots, and let a boot fly to the side of his head to at least stun him so I could get away.

He wasn't moving for awhile and then it started to sink in.. maybe you hit him too hard, or too many times, was it too much or was I in the right, he was still breathing when I walked away right? I watched from down the road in some bushes covered in blood with my hands shaking thinking I just killed a person. Thank god he got up. I was terrified I was covered in blood hiding in someone's bushes staring at a man I killed.

I have a bit of whiplash too. Got me right in the back of the head with some sort of blunt object. Definitely wasn't a fist. I've got a welt from the back of my skull to nape of my neck. My elbow is sort of skinned and is starting to get infected so I gotta go back Monday and see if they can clean it up or something. It's not a bad scrape, just ragged and dirty from the road. No visible bone or somethin. Headache feels like I had a concussion a few weeks ago. No fucking idea what he hit me with and the cops/ems said it could or could not be from getting hit with a pistol. Idfk. I do know it hurts.

I'm pretty sure I broke his nose cuz not to be racist but I don't know what a busted African American nose looks like but it was definitely not normal. Just flat and floppy. His fingers won't be straight for a long time if ever. That was a lot of blows really fast. As I was doing it, time almost stopped, like some matrix shit, and then reality kind of "zoomed back into my body". I really wailed on the guy it was pretty excessive but hey fuck him.

Part of his eyebrow looked sunken in so I don't know if I broke his ocular bone or what. I felt the reverb in my Maglite and heard popping kind of like when you quarter a chicken and the blade doesn't go all the way through. That ligament thump or pop I guess?

He bled hard from somewhere, probably the gash on his forehead. Horrible part is now since I had open wounds and didn't know whose blood was whose, no sex or blood drives for 6 months until I get AIDS testing and even then I wanna wait another six.

But yeah pretty messed up thing to do. And it's like dude I'm 240 and 5'11" why would you ambush a big target like that. Must have been desperation or just opportunity.

I was really fuckin worried I killed the guy. I was hitting his face so hard and his hands were half-broken so they weren't really protecting much. It just suddenly happened, he's down I'm on him before I could realize I instinctively tripped him up, and I see white real quick - I think this is when he hit me with whatever - then the world went red, my hand is at my belt and I got my metal rod filled with heavy batteries in hand and I couldn't think of anything else but just hit the guy until he stops fighting.

But still what am I gonna do point his own gun at him and wait for cops? 2am in one of the not-so-great areas of town. Would've been another Monday morning for the 5-0 and if he did have a gun would've just killed me. Usually people with guns don't announce it.

To a certain extent sure your martial art(s) training will make you better in a fight if the time came to fight in the street then someone who doesn't have any training. The generalization ends there. I've said it many times and I'll say it again. If you haven't got beat up at least a few times in the ring or out of it you haven't even gone past the training stage unless you're some sort of fuckin prodigy OR if you are competeing. At that level level of martial arts thought that is a real fight. People compete and if they can't get you to go down sometimes it gets brutal and it's real as fuck.

My 60 something year old Boxing teacher was fighting with the real greats of boxing in his career of years won golden gloves few times, Lots of marine championships ,coached others to world titles. He can beat the shit out of any of the UFC fighters he trained and only one could keep up just a little because he's the kind of fighter that he knows his craft so well he doesn't have to think about descions he just makes them. This causes him to have the endurance,breathing and close control of the situation.(The coach)


Anyway This 20 somethin year old piss ant came up to him and wanted to fight him(and my coach said he'd settle it and not to intervene like Anime martial art mystical shows because he didn't like something he said and took his shirt off in the parking lot Taller then him and litterally like 40 year age difference. My coach did one of his best punches to the solar plexus I've EVER seen I watched him break a cinderblock not ten min earlier and the dude dropped rolled back and started puking and crying. Then the dude calls 911 :Rolf: It was SO badass to watch and pretty fuckin hilarious. Because that day there was an almost 7 foot 300lb bouncer that was also trained in all sorts of ma and coach didn't need him at all.



I miss all of that so much the last year I had to quit it because I was having extreme pain in my shoulder and had to have shoulder surgery Come to find out the reason I was in so much pain while boxing is because I have one the best punches there but that whole time the muscle that connects my shoulder ball joint and my arm was litterally not connected to my shoulder.

After my surgery they told me that for 5 years it had been that way and somewhere 2 years back the estimate I was in so much pain I relocated my own shoulder without knowing and it fuckin worked .

Curious though...who here in this thread has been in an actual fight not for sport?  I read shroomism's story.  And be honest people...who here is speaking all hypothetical or martial arts/sports scenarios only?

Those guys that jumped us was what I would consider my only real street fight after I trained martial arts for years.
Before I got super hardcore into martial arts though, I had a couple of scraps mostly in highschool. Nothing really that noteworthy though.
Except the time I protected this innocent kid from being beat up by this bully.. he was slapping him around and I got inbetween them and he tried to punch me and I dislocated his shoulder with his own force

I would only consider that one jumping though my one "real" street fight because those guys probably would have tried to kill us if we gave them half the chance, or at the very least hurt us very very bad. Was the only time I've actually felt my life was in danger during a fight. Reflexes kicked in HARD, with me and my friend... all it was, was a giant blur of fists and knees and kicks to the head, it happened so fucking fast, we were running on pure instinct. I felt like I beat one dude in the face like 35 times in a half second, I'd never seen myself so fast or brutal.  Definitely happened in warp speed/super slow motion. We fucking annihilated those guys. One second we were just walking down the street talking and minding our own business, the next second we are getting piledrived and hit. Those dudes definitely regretted that day, we just got up off the ground and destroyed all three of them. Have no doubt they probably had to go to hospital after. We stopped when they were no longer a threat and left the scene but there was a lot of blood that wasn't ours. I don't think we killed any of them though, just hurt really really bad.
