one wrong fall could spell brain damage or death. Imagine becoming paralyzed over a parking spot or some other dumb shit that could have been handled civilly. Knowing how to physically protect yourself is important, but knowing how to de-escalate a conflict before it can even fully start is just as vital.

Yeah, I'm just entirely unwilling to risk health anymore. Pretty lucky to have only minor joint annoyances that'll stick with me for life, don't need more.

People who fight in the streets are generally not smart enough to understand the consequences of their actions.

A kickboxer I know has a huge scar on his chest from a Dragon Punch. Shit's crazy, man.

I had a fight with a Chinese girl in a Market. I was looking for my fight money.

It's honestly surprising all my cousins survived without being irreversibly damaged physically. They were all about that shit. One time, my cousin came to my house after being beat with 2 2x4s. His face was just lumps and blood. He cleaned his face off and then had someone pick him up. I was the pussy of the group that just got by being funny and non confrontational. Even then, I kept my distance as time went on. Leaving my city most the time to party in the boonies. The thought of being around for a street fight made for some anxious moments. I avoided it all tho.

I didn't know that stuff really happened. I was looking for a punch line you said" you weren't looking for trouble." That is crazy. Like in some shady places I been , there are fights and muggings, but not random picking of fits like that.

he wasnt watching where he was going on the sidewalk and slightly bumped into me and suddenly wanted to throw down. Honestly I think he was looking for an excuse to fight and bumped me on purpose

Yes, but I didnt say they dont realize at all that its dangerous; I said most dont seem to realize just how dangerous it can be. Ideally, you dish out an ass-whooping or, worst-case scenario, get roughed up a bit. But perhaps what you dont consider is the person knocking you out, and repeatedly striking your unconscious head. Perhaps what you dont consider is the hard-hitting, headfirst fall onto the pavement from a solid chin-checker. And for what? Probably some petty bullshit. Is it worth the risk?

imagine getting into a street fight that the other guy started and you punch your opponent and he trips back and cracks his head on the pavement and dies

If the other guy started it, that's self-defense.

Yeah I saw a fight in a bar's gravel parking lot one time. Dudes were all squared up, the one guy decides to go in for a take down, I'm guessing he had a bit of BJJ training or some similar grappling art because the takedown was clean and good looking but he ended up with his shin taking a broken piece of glass and bleeding all over the damn place.

Yup! Even if you win, you could still lose terribly just from a legal standpoint.

I could never trust the person I'm fighting not to try and shank me with something.

If I'm fighting, there better be a referee around.
