wrestlingkaratechamp Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 This is my problem there is this kid in my school who wants to fight me....Over and over he says he is going to fight me. He is not nearly as fast strong or as smart as me,I'm a great wrestler in grappling moves and I could beat him standing up or it would take me a couple of seconds to beat him on the ground. I've tried everything I've been taught to aviod a fight but hes most likely going to attack me..the poblem is not if I could beat him up, its I want to aviod a fight because I know that I would crush him. He just doesn't like me because he thinks I stole his girl. HOW DO I AVIOD THIS FIGHT?????????
BKJ1216 Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Okay man if he does attack, play the defense, throw maybe a couple punches to let him know that you could hurt him if you wanted, most of all try to netrulize him get him on the ground as much as possible so he dosn't have as much chance to use any sort of weapon he may have.

Smith amp Wesson Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Give his girl back What you do is find out where he lives & show up un anounced one night. Ring the door bell & tell him you want to talk about it.That your ready to fight or make amends. He'll be so surprised you showed up he go straight into forgiveness mode & everything will be cool. Had the same thing happen to me.Got tired of this fella tryin to look big at school so I went over to his house(cept it was a single wide trailer) & was ready to fight !!!! But he went right into "settle" mode & I went along cause I didn't want to fight this fella no how.Dude would've beat me up I'm sure. Good luck & quit stealin other folk's girls. This aint gonna be the only time you get into trouble cause of a girl so stay away from them !!!!That feelin you get when your around them will wear off evenutally.few decades or so.
Kyle-san Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Y'know, it is possible that he's all talk and no action. If he's said repeatedly that he'll fight you and hasn't yet there's a good chance he never will. Anyway, Smith & Wesson has the right idea in this situation.
jiu-jitsu fighter Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 if you can beat him up, and he attacks you ,than beat him up, and end it "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
dark_adjudication Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 If he is really torn up over this and he knows you can beat him in a fair fight he might not fight fare... He could bring a knife, plan an ambush or go Columbine on you. Watch your back for him and any friends he may have. Don't pull any punches. If he starts acting twitchy like he miight do something you might want to hit him first. Go with your gut as to how much of a threat you think he is. My opinion only. "There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, 'To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.'

Kyle-san Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Personally, I think this thread is a great example of different martial perspectives.
monkeygirl Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Avoiding the situation isn't going to help anymore, as you've seen. So, you have to face it, but that doesn't mean fighting: talk it over with him. I wouldn't suggest going to his house. If this guy has a quick temper, he might not like the idea of you coming over, and might lose it. In which case, you can obviously take him, but that's not the point. A physical fight is most likely going to lead to more feelings of resentment and bitterness. He may fear you, but he'll just find other ways to make life difficult. You need to resolve the situation. Go to a nice, public place, like the cafeteria at lunchtime. Explain to him your lack of guilt (that is, if you're innocent), and try to defuse the situation. Find out what's really bugging him, and try to work it out. If push comes to shove (no pun intended), you may have to end up fighting. If the other guy resorts to violence, there's nothing you can do about it! But you can try to avoid it altogether. Good luck. 1st dan & Asst.

jmy77 Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 I had a similar problem in high school. There was a kid who was an inch taller and about 50lbs heavier than me. We both liked the same girl, she chose me, so in this neanderthal's head the next logical step was to pound me - however unlike you I was a horrible wrestler and my stand up was mediocre at best. Back to the point, he threatened, and told stories of the damage he was going to do to me at first I was nervous but, afetr a while i found it funny! He had ample opportunity to fight me - never did. This kid must know you are a champion wrestler, he may know you are a brown belt in karate, he must know you will demolish him, my point is he may be trying to save face or make you look like a coward for avoiding the fight and him the bad ass for pushing it, either way if wanted to fight you it most likely would have happened. My advice - Ignore him. Ignore his taunts. Just plain act like he doesn't exist - but always be aware of where he is when he around you because eventually his mouth is going to make him look like a chump -then he may act. Example: If people say Hey man, Johnny Toughnuts said he is going beat you into dust at lunch - a simple responce is no responce or just say okay- and shrug it off - don't worry about it until it happens. "Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft." - Pres. Theodore Roosevelt "You don't have to like it, you just have to do it." - Captain Richard Marcinko, USN, Ret."Do more than what is required of you." - General George S. Patton"If you have to step on someone else to stand tall, then you truely are a small person." - ?
