KaratekaAndy Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Since starting MA I have only lost 1 street fight.A guy punched me in the face, which is not that bad, but I had braces on my teeth which dug into my cheeks and tore them up badly. It hurt like hell and when I turned to face the guy he had ran off. However I saw him again 2 weeks later and kicked the hell outta him "...to stand between the candle and the shining moon..."
Bushido58266 Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 ive lost plenty of fights, my tournament record in chun kuk do is 27 wins 10 losses and 2 ties. at my studio the instructors incourage use to lose sometimes so we can deal with humility and defeat. i have not fought any matches in muay thai yet but i will be soon "Bushido is realized in the presence of death""TapouT or PassouT"
pineapple Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 I've had a lot of "lessons" too. What works works
Fenris-wolf Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 I've only had one "full" fight (we have novice fights with shin pads, heavier gloves, and shorter rounds), and I lost. It was very close, a split decision, and quite a few people thought I should have won.Now, I think it was a reasonable decision (I landed more good shots but she threw more and when it's that close that's all it takes to win) but knowing the above makes me feel better! Plus I gave her a bleeding nose and 2 blacks eyes and I walked away just fine. Anyway, I was happy - better to lose a close fight than win against someone who gives up (a lot of women do, unfortunately) Also, I've never been in a "real" fight, but there have been a couple of times where, in retrospect, I regret holding back. Some people really deserve it. Let Us Turn The Jump Rope In Accord With Socialist Principles!
