That was funny. Some of it is try as well. I was in a lot of fights when younger and until I started Krav Maga about 12 years ago I usually ended up hurt even if I was victorious. Now I don’t mess around like I used to and do my best to avoid any fight. With age comes wisdom. My knuckles look like they’ve been eaten by grizzly bears.

Not “try”, true.

@SGB, re your knuckles: I once saw a show about a martial arts master from Vancouver, and learned one important lesson from it: DO NOT mess with someone who has half-inch-thick calluses on their knuckles…

@John Hardin – That’s advice I wish I’d learned as a lad.

Hand to hand training in the Marines (before Semper Fu) was basically a series of incredibly dirty moves – various nut shots, eye gouges, leg sweeps followed by heel stomps to the head, more nut shots, etc…
We practiced them endlessly so they were route – and any inhibition against using these moves was broken down.

Well, unless you win the fight, and the gals get all wet between their legs for you.

Justthisguy: hate to tell you, but real life doesn’t work much like a Popeye cartoon. Guy who wins the fight is usually carted off by the local cops while the girls tend to the cuts of the “victim” who lost.
As a former prosecutor and defense attorney, I can tell you with certainty that the winner of the fight is never the guy who presses charges.
