Last night I went to a big graduation party with a couple friends of mine. Once we got there we all pretty much scattered to do our own things (this was a HUGE party, easily over 100 people), and I was mingling with some old friends when I heard a big ruckus about 20 feet behind me. I cut through the crowd the edge of an open circle and there stood my friend Eric, being screamed at by 3 rednecks. I pushed my way around to the other side of the circle closest to him and the driveway. I called 2 of my friends and told them what was going on, right as I closed my phone I saw one of the 3 step out and punch him square in the face and he stumbled back and fell over. I pushed my way through a few people and pulled him up off the ground and started to lead him towards the car while these 3 guys were screamin at me. I got about halfway down the driveway when Eric got punched in the back of the head, so I pushed him into my friend Rob to take him back to the car, spun around and palm struck the guy behind me on the jaw. He stumbled back and almost fell, held his jaw, and looked pretty dazed. His 2 friends started screaming at me and I just got in a deep stance and stared at them. Then the 2 other kids I was with got in the way, started yellin threats about calling some people we knew that they were afraid of, then slowly made our way out of the group to our car. Craziness.

Turns out the whole thing started because Eric accidentally tripped one of them then HELPED HIM BACK UP. People are ridiculous sometimes.

I hope that he is alright. I hope that everyone is alright. You kinda figure a party...everybody happy and such and then this happens. Indeed, people are ridiculous sometimes.

Insomuch that I feel you did a good job, I don't think it is a problem with them being rednecks per se....alcohol was a factor was it not? That is always going to be a major contributor to a fight in a situation like that. The person who was yelling at your friend Eric may seem to have taken it as an insult.

MizuRyu, i gotta congratulate you for your actions. you tried to get your freinds out of trouble, and as a last result reacted with your martial arts, and you did it good too, not like the average karate kid that gets his but handed to him. congratulations.

Im brasilian, but live in the united states. Really enjoying martial arts.

There's always one person (or in this case 3) who gets a few too many drinks in them and decides they have a huge chip on their shoulder and must prove to everyone around them they are a tought guy by starting a fight when in fact they just make themselves look even more stupid than they already are.

Pity you didn't drop the guy. Would've made him look even more of an idiot.

i think it was cool of you to act, it kinda sounds like the rest of the party was jut standing there waiting for a fight to break out. isn't it a great feeling to be able to defend yourself?

be polite, be patient, be alert, be brave, do your best, respect yourself and others.

I was aiming for the side of his neck when I spun around but got the side of his jaw instead. All 3 of them had about 50+ pounds on me... so I wasn't exactly confident haha. Had the other 2 come for me, I'm pretty sure it would've been a crotch shot for the biggest one and take the other one either to the ground or just beat his face in the best I could. Thanks for the support, I wasn't sure if I should've reacted with violence but looking back I'm seeing that was probably the best option, it was just enough to keep the other 2 at bay and keep Eric and I from gettin ourselves broken.
