Have you ever seen a fight in real life?

Yes. My father got drunk once and attacked my obnoxious uncle.

When I was a kid, I defended myself from a bully, because my father told me to.

Both times I felt disappointed. Disappointed in my father for the first, and later disappointed in myself for listening to my father's brainwashing.

I have broken up fights and been in near fights. Aimless fighting doesn't solve anything.

Sun Tzu says the best warriors can win without throwing a punch.

I saw some in school and a lot of bloody ones when I worked in a men's prison.

This is the South! For some reason people will fight at the drop of a hat. It just is!!!

I went to HS with a genuine badass. Big, muscular and full on crazy. Any fight with him was a genuine pummeling as he also had zero self control

He was killed less than a year after graduation

I've seen loads and been in quite a few myself.

I didn't think much about it when I was younger but I avoid that sort of thing now.

Violence is primal and needs to be eradicated from the human DNA

I'm a little strange, I hate conflict and I hate violence against the innocent, but on some level I like fighting if I get enough aggression up, though I still try not to do the wrong thing while sitting there tempted sometimes

Intense sparring matches with MMA fighters, black belts, and Marines are just fun though

I watched a guy get stabbed at Ontario place after a Tito puente jr concert years ago. They beat him up and stabbed him in the stomach about five times

Many years ago now.

My wife went missing for a few days, over the new year period, going on a whole drink, drugs and sex bender. Myself and our, then, 2 children were out of our mind with worry. Likewise my mother-in-law.

When she did eventually come home, she wasn't looking great, and her mum shouted at her and slapped her very hard across the face. It was very much a one-way fighting thing.

It upset me, it upset our girls, it upset everything. I kicked her out for a time.

We did get back together, happily so. All is good.

Everyone has. Most everyone has been in one. Happens when you're young. Hopefully you wise up as you get older.

I have. Primarily it was my ex and his grown sons or son against son.

Holidays do not charm me for that reason.

A few times, including a couple I was in. Bishes be crazy back in the day.

No, nothing serious. Maybe just kids scuffling in school.

Not as glamorous as on TV

Seen it? I was in em..

Loads.

Outside of sports, just once that I remember, way back in high school. One kid got a bloody nose.

Yes, I lived in Nottingham. The Old Market Square was like the wild west at the weekend.

Just girl classmates scuffling in my private school but nothing major

I've seen them and been in them.

Actually I don't think I have

Hundreds of times. 🥊

Sadly,, sometimes in the Dojo people take practice to far.
