Learn to fight.

Don't go picking fights though, only for self defence and to maintain frame when physically threatened, especially in front of a woman. nothing is more emasculating than getting threatened successfully by another man in front of a woman.

Don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever fight random dudes you don't know unless you absolutely have to. It's not worth getting your ass beat or killed to "maintain" frame or to look cool in front of girls. If some stupid ghetto thug wants to "emasculate" me in front of a girl then he can go ahead. He doesn't have anything to lose but I have to go back to my 401K and nice house. And if your girl thinks you're a bitch for not fighting random thugs on the street, then she has to get nexted too.

When you go into the regular world, you have no idea what kind of people you are running into. The skinny, scrawny guy that you think you can beat up might be a champion MMA fighter. The sloppy drunk talking shit may have a ton of his friends and that bar that you don't know are his friends. People may have guns or knives. Or that idiot that you are about to fight might be majorly depressed and/or crazy, and literally ready to kill somebody. You have no idea what you are getting into with fighting random people.

I agree that combat sports are good training, but DO NOT FIGHT PEOPLE UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO.

Rarely do you ever need to fight and if your reason for fighting is being "emasculated" then you've done the exact opposite of holding frame.

If you or your girl aren't being physically assaulted then you have nothing to fight over. Let people talk their shit. I've been through this a million times at bars , parties etc. Some guy sees you and gets jealous because of your girl or angry because nobody wanted to fuck him so he wants to ruin your night too.

I don't know why people down vote this advice when it comes up here.

At the end of the day, everything a woman uses to judge a guy's worthiness of a roll in the sack is just a proxy for the eons-old question: "can he subdue or kill his opponents*?

Learning to fight, really fight, cuts through all the bills hit trappings of our bitchass modern society and returns a man to the state of nature. Such experience cannot help but to seep out when interacting with women.

I fully endorse learning any fighting skill. You can argue all day about which discipline is best but learning how to take a punch, throw a punch, and body positioning will give you confidence people can smell on you without ever getting into a fight. Boxing has made a huge difference in my life and there is no better workout than going three minutes sparring.

"The ability to fight also teaches humility and respect."

This aspect is so true and so valuable. Few activities come close to how much bang for your buck you get in these two areas with martial arts, and you get it EVERY, SINGLE, TIME, you walk in the gym.

And if you go a few times a week the destructive side to your ego doesn't have time to grow back to any significant amount. I take breaks from martial arts occasionally, for a few months at a time, and what really startles me when I get to the gym isn't how unfit I'd become, but how cocky. One single sparring session will check that shit real quick.

Most gyms have a sign saying check your ego at the door ( or something to that effect), funny thing is, if you don't the gym will do it for you anyway.

Everyone I know concealed carries including myself. Many people are not as easy going and de-escalating as myself. Just please PLEASE Be careful with your "sick fighting skillz".

Buchloe · 2017-01-12T21:04:36+00:00

Anybody have experience with Russian Systema? Thinking of getting into it. Looks like a pretty battle-tested close combat system.

NakedAndBehindYou · 2017-01-12T19:43:07+00:00

Most men in first world countries will never need to actually be in a fight, unless you are a retard and go overboard with the "macho alpha" shit and purposefully start fights in bars because you think it will impress women. (It actually might, but you are still a retard for risking life and limb to do it)

Don't do karate or kung fu or any waste of time non helpful shit.

TIL I'm wasting my time on non-helpful shit. Care to explain why karate is not helpful? Sure, the learning curve is steeper meaning that you need to spend much more time practising it to have tangible effects, but I'm pretty sure that having a black belt in karate will give me tons of confidence.

Just the achievement of getting the black belt will likely make me feel like a king, even if I end up getting my face smashed in by someone who spent the same amount of time doing MMA, it's the confidence that counts, don't you agree?

The fact that you're willing to say "yeah, I can manage this, I'm a black belt" is already a great thing to have.

Just strap on a gat like the guy in the other post.

I've been looking at krav maga for a while (never moved my ass to the classes though), what do you think about that?

protoman56 · 2017-01-12T07:54:28+00:00

You could just get a gun, it's a more permanent solution.

WarriorsSpaceship · 2017-01-12T06:11:42+00:00

only assholes get into fights

DoubleTappp · 2017-01-12T11:38:55+00:00

If you have to fight....win.

mcr00sterdota · 2017-01-12T12:23:00+00:00

What's wrong with Karate OP? I'll do whatever the fuck I want.

TheBeezNeezBaybeh · 2017-01-12T16:30:55+00:00

Beer bottles make good weapons. I'll have one or two with me during the course of the night. People can act stupid if they want to...

OneLifeSucks · 2017-01-12T21:48:47+00:00

Fact: You automatically become the most alpha guy among your friend group once they realize you go get punched in the face at night while they sit around smoking weed or playing video games.

Do you know how easy it is to die in a fistfight? There's a sub with plenty of footage for you to learn exactly how little it takes for you to get killed in a fight.

Get a CCW, and learn to de-escalate or have enough awareness to leave a situation before it starts.

Unabummer80 · 2017-01-12T15:04:37+00:00

This is a waste of a thread. I dunno why you had a pop at karate. The conditioning alone would make most serious karate practitioners more than capable of defending themselves against the average chump.

I dont know why Im bothering but karate was popular in my hometown for some reason, and the black belts there were clearly much harder than anyone else around back then.
