	The Dumbasses Are Out In Force (Pekka and GT, also small guys who fight look here) Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

My welcoming into the 'grown up' social life of Barrow, Alaska is being harassed by drunks and *******s. So far this week Ive been threatened verbaly and through gesture, both times by guys who would normaly be able to kick my ass like swatting a fly. This is where you guys come in. Im a small guy and have never really fought before in my life however its quickly becoming apparent that I will be in a fight soon. Most likely with guys twice to three times my size, since they are so bad ass they need to pick on us passive weak folk. I already have my posse, my gang, whatever to back me up and protect me, but they wont always be around and I'll eventualy have to prove my manhood ( ).

Teach me the effective (and tried if possible) ways to quickly neutralize a person bigger than me.

I suggest you offer him a blowjob, and when he accepts you bite his dick off.

Convince him that he has nothing to gain by fighting you.

If he beats you, considering how small you are, then what glory is there for him?

He can only lose by fighting, and by not fighting, maintains his position.

As for your manhood, obviously he's the better man since he can easily beat you in a fight.

I dont think drunks understand glory, honor, respect, any of those things. Nor do I think they are very convincible.

Ignore Ben.

Don't fight if you don't have to (i.e. don't start a fight). If you do have to:

a) If you're fighting a drunk idiot, he's likely to take a massive right hook as his first shot. If he does, keep your left guard up (your fist should be touching near your temple and your elbow tucked in against your side protecting your ribs). Step into him as his punch comes toward you (inside his punch; he should miss completely behind your head). Deliver a straight punch to his mouth with your right.

b) Don't make the same mistakes he just did. Keep your punches quick and tight. Return your fists immediately to your guard.

c) Keep moving. Don't stand there and slug. If he's bigger than you he'll destroy you this way.

d) Punch in combinations. Jab with the left, deliver a quick hook with the right, short but powerful uppercut with the left.

e) If you know any wrestling, you can use any time you're inside his guard to deliver a standing hip toss. Then either kick the **** out of him while remaining standing or control him on the ground (best position is for him to be stomach down and you squatting on top of him) while punching him whenever you get the chance.

Oh, and keep your head up. He's going to rock your world with an uppercut if you try to protect your face by pointing it downward.

Also, don't fall down when he hits you. Half of a fight is being psychologically prepared to get hit.

**** the hip-toss. Go right for the single-leg and then get him in the ***** stretcher...

Fights should be avoided if at all possible IMO. Considering that, if I ever get in a fight, I have no intention of getting myself hurt. There are no rules in a fight. You should simply try to end it as fast as possible. Kick the guy in the balls. Kick the guy in the knee. Hit him with a bat. Stab him. Gouge his eye out. Fighting isn't about proving your worth or somesuch nonsense and it's not honorable. Screw this punch combination bullshit that Krazyhorse is trying to tell you. If you must fight, fight to win as soon as possible.

Advice about fighting isn't going to help you nearly as much as some time in a hands on dojo. Ju jitsu, judo or one of the mixed martial arts styles will pay the most immediate dividends. Don't be discouraged if you aren't really great in the dojo, you'll be surprised at how easily it all comes together when the sh!t hits the fan and your opponent is a drunken bore.

All wrong.

First thing you do is be all like "Nah nah nah, I don't want to fight." As you try and walk past them, you swing your other fist around and catch them on the blind side, with the "false crack" or "sucker punch".

F***er goes down. I wish I could show it to you, but it works.

I'm glad I haven't gotten into a fight in years, cause when I used to I would black out and I'd "wake" with blood on my hands, a messed up face and body, and some poor guy bleeding.



(at least you guys up North fight like men, with fists instead of hiding behind weapons. )

If the drunk bore is alone, give a huge (and fast) knee-kick in his groin, put him on the ground as he's surprised by the pain, and break a few ribs / wrists with adequate kicks.

Caution, this may not work with the usual suspects, who'll either expect you aiming for the groin, or who'll wear a protection.

Pain techniques are iffy, it's better to use something that will bring down the drug-addled, drunken or crazy as well as the a$$hole. Strangles work well, but not necessarily in a general brawl where you don't want to get down on the ground. Body slams are effective as well as impressive, while more modest throws can allow you to escape at your leisure or kick 'em while they are down.

There is no gentlemens' way to fight. Gentlemen don't fight, they talk. So if the thug won't listen, and insist to fight, fight dirty and make him suffer. HE wanted the fight, not you, so let him have it. (As other's already pointed out)

No remorse

Are there no police in Alaska btw? Anyone who fights around here risk jail or ample fines. If that is the case, let him beat you while you scream and moan and exagerate your pain, then report him to the police.

Don't hit drunk people in the balls. Too much chance of them being too drunk to feel it. Kneecaps is best. Kick to the knee, but not directly from the front, but slightly from the inside to the outside (meaning from between his legs) like in a 45 degree angle to the front. After that it's your choice whether to finish it off with an elbow to the spine. I would not recommend it though... Too much. Even busting someone's knee can get you in serious trouble if you can't prove self defence.

first thing i'm going to ask is are you a well coordinated individual? do you have good balance? have you fought before and if so were you any good at it - did it feel 'natural'?

If you answer yes to all the above then take peoples advice on how to beat the bigger guy if he insists on a fight.

If you answer no to any of the above then just keep running(or take the kicking thats coming your way).

Some people are born fighters, others are not and even after years of martial training will seem clumsy in a fight(and get beaten a lot).
