Reacting in a fight?

Post Reply New Topic

ive been in a couple of fights but i didnt know how to react to it i was thinking to much and not really hitting back , but it didnt hurt what they were doing cos i was thinking about it to much , although i did lose my temper with someone from high school once and i lost it but apart from that i cant fight and try my best never to get into a situation like that x

If I were in a fight nowadays, I'd probably just handchop their throat.

Like Everyone Else Here I Dont Enjoy Getting Into Fights. I've Noticed That Even A Hint Of A Confrontation And My Eyes Start To Swell Up Lol.

The Only Time Ive Been In Fights Is If They Throw The First Punch. And At That Point I Stop Thinking About Everything And Go Into One Of Those Blind Rages!! ! But As I Can Not Know If I Could Be Seriousely Hurt By The Fight I Always Find Some Form Of Weapon First So I Know That They Are The Ones Who Are Gona Get Hurt. (If Any Weapons Around Of Course)

I've Never Really Met An Aspie Though That Can Not Handle Them Selfs In A Fight, Maybe Its Somthing To Do With The Way We React To The Situation And Think Ahead.

If I End Up In A Fight I Would Have Already Played The Scene Through My Head About 20 Times And Would Have Planed How I Would Of Finished It

I doubt there's any single supreme reaction. Lots of good advice in this thread though, some of it conflicting, which is no surprise. These things depend on your situation and ability. Sometimes there are legal issues to consider. But if your life is in serious danger, you should try to secure your escape. If that's not practical, find a weapon. Failing that, go for the vitals (as many as you can and as quickly as you can, since you shouldn't have to use a lot of power to at least stun your opponent long enough to flee) without warning, fear or hesitation. If you're tough and you want to beat your assailant to a pulp, that's your choice, but I like to avoid court dates as much as possible.

I had a peculiar upbringing, with a particular emphasis on fighting prowess. Against a normal, unarmed, relatively non-life-threatening opponent -- some belligerent person trying to assert himself or what have you -- I tend to charge straight in (weaving as necessary), put him in an arm- or headlock, maneuver our bodies to close all angles of counterattack, and exert pressure until, out of options, he gives up. Depending on his tenacity, I might whisper a few threats to keep him from acting out again, but that's not always necessary. This is a restraining tactic learned from experience. If you lock someone down and give them no opportunity to harm you (or you just absorb their blows without comment; touching someone with your fist or elbow is rather different from landing a serious hit, and precious few can tell the difference) their morale simply plummets, and they won't pester you again.

Other situations call for different responses, as do other levels and kinds of ability. I'm not sure exactly what scenario the OP is worried about.

Can't realy plan a defence, so reactions have to be trained, if you take a punch or kick at the end point, thats normaly the strongest, Thai boxers lean into the attack to accept it when not at its strongest. Personaly I walk into the attacker, there not expecting it, taking their, grabbing the face and groin or elbowing the face, kicking their shins, if theres a group this normaly puts the others off attacking. Also I scream like a loon, puts them off a bit aswell.

You can learn the best self defence stuff, but nothing beats going psycho
