If you read through my posts you will see that I stated I saw 2 bladed weapons. The guy who got his head split was hit a few times and sent on his way originally. Then like 5 minutes later he came back with a knife for revenge. I thought the fight was over, and he walked away the first time. The second time he came back with a knife, I called the cops.
I’ve been in situations similar to this quite a couple of times during my lower school years in high school.
There was this one time in year 11 when we were confronted by this person in year 12, he was known around school as a “hardcore” because of his drug habbits. Well this guy was swearing at us and asking us why we kept giving his friend “evils” (its when you constantly stare at someone and dont lose eye contact, it usually means you want to start trouble with that person). Our friend he was referring to had no idea what was going on, he was an immigrant and had only been in Australia for a few years and eye problems and sometimes had to squint to see something. So the hardcore guy tells me to “talk it out” with him after school inside cricket nets. The idea of talking inside cricket nets sounded dodgy but i wanted to resolve the conflict without any voilence and the idea of talking seemed better than fighting.
So i meet the guy’s friend inside the cricket net and it was just me and him talking. He was problably 20-25 cms taller than me and very built, when i say built i mean he had really big muscles, his arm width was at least 3 times that of mine. He then started yelling and swearing at me in Vietnamese and after 3 minutes of what was meant to be talking he dropped his bag and says to me “OK me and you 1 on 1” and puts up his fists. And he looked really serious and since we were locked inside cricket nets i had no where to run i dropped my bags and put my fists up as well. I knew i was going to lose this fight but i just didn’t know how badly, he must’ve been at least 20 kgs heavier than me. So he rushes at me and i step back, and oddly he also steps back. This time he rushes again and since i’m scared as hell also step back but this time he lunges forwards and kicks me on the ass, causing me to kneel down on one leg but i quickly got back up on both feet. After a while of just standing still, he then tried to swing at me and i once again stepped back but this time i slipped and fell down and was kneeling on one leg (i was really starting to panic now) and then he tried to punch me again but somehow he hit my forearm instead of my head and he also slipped. We both then gotback up and he ran towards me and i get backstepping until i was caught by the cricket net there he hit me twice in the head and face. After that a teacher came and he started to step back and out of the cricket nets.
Most of the fights i see at school are really short and consist of punches thrown everywhere and barely any kicks. But this fight was different, i was too scared to even try and do anything to him and was just panicking and i dont know what he was waiting for, he obviously had the physical advantage.

the guy who was the victim had a blade not the victimizers.

Exactly, and that knife became their knife when they disarmed him. Plus one of them had a knife in their pocket, I could see it.
you should have busted out your own blade.
Also, if he left the fight then returned with a knife to continue fighting, at that point HE became the aggressor (at least from a legal point of view).
Unmatchable, you must be insane (or suicidal) to think of that as an option in that situation.

so failing to stop an older man and WOMAN from being robbed makes you less of a coward? your fight woulda been two on 1, or two on two, had your friend helped you. That’s alot better than the 10 or so on 1 that he was facing. That would make you more of a coward… [/B]
Had my friend helped me those guys could have been beaten to death. Not long ago a guy with a bottle in his hand started mouthing off to my friend and my friend had to be pried off him from stomping a hole in him. My friend also grabbed a rock before he cracked another guy few times in the head during a fight.

Not in e sense of fighting them with a blade, but just showing it off to make your presense felt.
If THAT didn’t pizz them off & have them coming at you with THEIR knives (or just shooting you), I don’t know what would.
well you gotta rep your hood.

he’s not insane, he’s a trolling internet warrior who lives his life through the eyes of his wanna be hard friend. If you notice, he’s always talking about his friends experiences, but none of his own. The only one of his he talked about, he sat back and did nothing.
You know when you guys are about to fight in a street fight do you feel frozen sometimes? Its like adrenaline or something, that just comes naturally right? You can’t do anything to stop it?
The only thing I can think of to stop the “freezing” you refer to is hard training - and I don’t mean hard FORMS training. I mean by whatever “art” you practice should include some type of hard contact. Contact will help develop control of some of your emotions, and will give you greater confidence. If your art doesn’t provide this, add a second art. Judo, boxing, muay thai, shuai chiao, MMA schools, etc.

Nope, not anymore. I have taken too many hits to the face in previous expereinces to freeze. The only time I freeze is when I think there might be multiple attackers or weapons involved.
Get alot of experience if full contact sparring. Have a skilled coach to teach you what to do & how to do it, then train regulary. San Shou is good, so’s kickboxing and MMA or even boxing if that’s what’s available. Don’t neglect situational training for actual street assault (including weapon defense, multiple attackers and escaping from such situations). You’ll still get the adrenalin rush but you won’t freeze up in such a situation.
