[QUOTE="Kieran, post: 634849, member: 4725"] I've been beaten up and glassed in a bar by multiple assailants who were untrained. One prick was looking for trouble, I retaliated, and then his friends came from all angles and I ended up on the floor. The punches didn't hurt, but the stamps fucked up my knee and ankle, and the glass left me with a couple of small scars, and closed my eye completely shut for a couple of days. I strongly encourage anybody getting into fighting sports to focus on being likeable, and on how to diffuse altercations when possible. When you know how to box, it can be tempting to let things escalate because you feel like you know how to handle yourself, and you want to test your skills, but when the glasses start flying, there's really not much you can do to protect yourself from injury. Also with CCTV being all over the place, trouble with the law is a very real possibility, and that's really unpleasant, and can limit your options for travel and employment. Also, if somebody gets seriously injured, then you can end up in prison, where most people find out they're actually not as alpha as they think they are. [/QUOTE]
