**kosh** · 10-01-2011, 11:58 AM

when would you concede defeat?
When I recognize I'm not effective.

Would you surrender?
If necessary.

Would you run?
Yes.

How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)?
Depends on why I fight.

How would you describe your method of fighting?
STRONG (I dunno)

When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?
Once I've obtained my goal.

**Hewholistens** · 10-02-2011, 06:25 PM

(1) When my body is unable to move.
(2) If there is no other way then yes. This is reality and not an anime.
(3) Running is a good way to avoid unnecessary conflict.
(4) I am very tactical. Vital points and quick crippling blows(to the ribs, kneecaps, neck, temple, etc) are the most important
(5) Cripple my opponent as fast as possible and receive the least amount of damage.
(6) When he is unable to fight or dead.

**babsa** · 10-02-2011, 08:09 PM

Anyways, I was wondering that if you were already engaged in a physical fight in unfamiliar surroundings, when would you concede defeat?

In a 1v1 unarmed fight, i would concede when i am unable to fight anymore.

Would you surrender?

Depends on what. I have gotten into brief scuffles that were against my better judgment, and it was a mutual break away.

Would you run?

No, i can't run very fast, but even then, the thought of running away from someone is just unacceptable for me.

How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)?

Depends on why we are fighting. If a person is trying to mug me or injure me i will kick them in the shin, punch them in the neck, etc. If tempers rose, and we were fighting out of anger, it would probably be a grappling match.

How would you describe your method of fighting?

Standing striking. I am not adept at fighting on the ground, and i have a large advantage at stand up being 6'3''

When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?

When they are knocked unconscious, unable to fight, or if they surrender.

I've seen a couple people say "tactical". What exactly did you mean by that in this context?

**Thinktress** · 10-03-2011, 09:22 AM

I carry weapons. So I'd say... defensive. I won't shoot you (or even pull my gun) unless you're trying to cause me serious bodily harm/kill me/break into my house/pull a weapon on me. I've never had cause to pull my weapon on anyone so mostly no one knows that I carry unless they know me very well.

So the answer to the question is, I'm not going to be getting into unarmed physical combat. That's kind of tacky for women anyway in my opinion. I mean, what situation is so extreme that two women need to roll around on the floor in such a display. (The popularity of such YouTube clips notwithstanding).

**OneHertz** · 10-03-2011, 09:47 AM

I am an amateur muay thai fighter and I look like one so people don't ever mess with me.

When I couldn't fight anymore.

No, I would not surrender.

I would run if I am outnumbered.

I'd be pretty damn cautious not to break my hands. I doubt I would even throw punches very hard. A broken hand would be disastrous. I'd try to get into the clinch and quickly finish it with a good knee I suppose. Or elbow.

I consider them defeated when they cant get up.

**Zephyrion** · 10-05-2011, 10:42 AM

you concede defeat?
Rarely. It is a matter of pride. (Because of my upbringing)

Would you surrender?
If the opponent honorably overpowered me.

Would you run?
Again, a matter of pride and upbringing.

How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)?
I tend to avoid battles, I think I can crush most of people with words only.
It varies, if the opponent is fighting honorable, then I will show him the same respect he has shown unto me. If not, he deserves to get his eyes gouged out.

How would you describe your method of fighting?
Precise. Painful. Sometimes sadistic.

When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?
When they hit the floor and are unable to retaliate to attacks.
Then I treat them as I see fit.

**AlyssC01** · 10-05-2011, 11:15 AM

I used to be a fighter when I was younger. A quiet, red headed child with no friends had a habit of attracting bad attention. So, part of this is answered from experience.

Anyways, I was wondering that if you were already engaged in a physical fight in unfamiliar surroundings, when would you concede defeat?
Never. Unless of course the reason that the fight was started fell away. But, even if the physical fight ended I'd find a way to best whom ever on another battle field.

Would you surrender?
No.
Would you run?
Depends. If I see no reason to fight, but the others insist then I'd look at my chances and if they are against me... Run like hell.
How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)?
Eh. No. Definitively not honorable. I fight to win. I fight agressive, I hit hard (it's easier to hit someone once and get them down than hit them repeatedly and risk being hit yoruself). I bite.
How would you describe your method of fighting?
Read above
When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?
When they've admitted defeat.

**DrCiao** · 10-05-2011, 02:00 PM


	Would you surrender?

Yes. It's about winning the War, not petty battles.


	Would you run?

If unarmed, it is better to be in one position and hide until finding a weapon or opportune time to disarm your opponent. Also, if armed, better to wait until your prey comes to you.


	How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)?

Honorably and tactical


	How would you describe your method of fighting?

Strategy is key


	When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?

When they surrender/ ask for help or become your ally

**Sean O** · 10-05-2011, 02:07 PM

Anyways, I was wondering that if you were already engaged in a physical fight in unfamiliar surroundings, when would you concede defeat?
If I was injured to the point of not being able to fight anymore

Would you surrender?
If I clearly had no chance of winning (vs a gun, 3+ opponents, etc.)

Would you run?
If I clearly had no chance of winning (vs a gun, 3+ opponents, etc.)

How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)?
Tactical, methodical, analytical, adaptive

How would you describe your method of fighting?
Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?
When they are either no longer capable of harming me/the people I'm with, or they stop trying.

**Peterviera** · 10-05-2011, 02:18 PM

Ive been a boxer for about 9 years now, and i can say usually the most tactical fighter no matter what fighting style it is. Is the fighter who will win the fight.

Well if that was a tactical boxing fight in cool-hand luke, i would hope none of our military generals are as tactical as cool-hand luke or else we will lose every single battle within a few minutes. That wasn't even boxing in that movie, next you say rocky is a good fighter. He makes a better punching bag then anything.

**thunder999** · 10-05-2011, 03:00 PM

No.

No.

I fight based on what works and what I know, that is strikes to the more vulnerable parts and my training in karate (black belt).
When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?
When they are incapacitated e.g. unconscious, dead or with broken bones (After breaking someone's ribs I noticed they were pretty incapacitated by it).

It's called a rope-a-dope. It's a tactical form of boxing, not advisable for boxers with low stamina. And yes, generals are quite happy to lure enemies with a rope-a-dope, how else would you get them to willingly enter a kill box?

**crea** · 10-11-2011, 06:18 AM

I've been practicing martial arts quite a lot and can say it's pretty much a part of my life.
probably like 80% of everyone who practiced any martial art, I started from karate.
but I didn't like a slightest bit. lasted 2 moths or so. well, farmer's arts.
training seriously I started from Kendo and Kenjutsu. didn't like Kendo much - it seemed too pointless for me. so I gave more heart to kenjutsu, but didn't back off on kendo too. as for being best - I had to be the best. I acquired 2nd dan, and left the club because our "sensei" simply pissed me off. he liked to dominate and manipulate his pupils, but it didn't work quite well with me, so he started acting against me. I had to leave.
I had some knowledge of kendo and kenjutsu, as well as aikido and jodo.
I used to train alone and with some friends and even developed quite a style of my own in both, bare-hand techniques, sword, staff or knife techniques.
after some time, I found out that there's Kraw-Maga "school" near, so I gone there. there I trained Kraw-Maga and Ju Jutsu as well as Aikido.
as this was also going along with my "likes" (I've been studying human anatomy for long and hard), I've been able to develop my "own" fighting technique (quite like MMA; taking the best out of every style) based on striking pressure points and other distracting or heavily damaging spots since I was not much into great physical strength. can't get much out of this body... but people and friends still call me crazy because I am actually capable of kicking some alpha male ass.
well, martial arts are quite a part of my life as well. as it's not only a physical "strength" there, but you also challenge yourself and your mind.

I've been always into challenging myself. I know there are boundaries of human abilities, but I WILL BREAK THEM.

so tomorrow I can do what you can't".

	Fighting to me is like sex. It's an art and an expression of the 'soul.'

I've always said that there are only three ways to know a person - to fight them, sleep with them, or read their autobiography. There are dominant-talking, social men who wilt and sniffle when they're hit in the nose, and there are small, quiet men who will hit you as hard as they can and never back off.

It's all situational. If there's an argument between familiars, a "duel", rather than a death struggle, winning hardly matters. Etiquette is obeyed, and all that matters is punching someone hard a few times to prove your point. If someone has wronged you, you beat them to the appropriate level of punishment, not attempting to hurt or maim.

If it's more like a battle, someone is using inappropriate force on you or someone in your charge, all bets are off, and there's no concern for wellbeing or etiquette. Throw sand in their eyes, grab something heavy, fight like an animal. At the risk of over-dramaticism, I've decided I'd rather die than submit to someone using the threat of inappropriate force for selfish reasons.

OK, I'm going to be weird now. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

I'm curious about the way you all view the combat arts. I can't seem to learn enough about it, although I don't practice it anymore. To me, a fight is a battle between wills; the victor isn't necessarily the physically strongest (although it helps a hell of alot), but the strongest in spirit.

Fighting to me is like sex. It's an art and an expression of the 'soul.'

Kendo practitioners have a thing called a spirit yell which I believe is supposed to convey that the strike doesn't come from a movement of the body and a calculation from the mind, but is combined with the spirit of the individual. The attack then becomes an expression of the stoutness and unbreakability of the spirit.

Anyways, I was wondering that if you were already engaged in a physical fight in unfamiliar surroundings, when would you concede defeat?
Would you surrender?
Would you run?
How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)?

When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?

For me,
When my body is broken
No
When possible
Tactical and aggressive
Hit really hard at weak points, every punch is a 'death blow,' move around alot to avoid getting hit and potentially find a weak point to attack, avoid going to the ground.
WHEN HE'S DEAD!!!!!! (or when he runs/stops fighting)

I don't enjoy fighting, I do however enjoy the aftermath of beating the shit out of people who deserve it. I've been in only a few fights in my life, lost one of my early ones because I refused to fight, but never lost another. I've been a scrawny kid most of my life, people don't really consider me a viable threat, but the fact that I've been trained in martial arts means that I know how to use my body weight to kick ass. I won a fight with a kid 40 pounds heavier than me my junior year of high school and he ended up carring my books to class to add insult to injury.

**El Cas** · 10-13-2011, 11:23 PM

I'm a martial arts practitioner (as in I train in various styles). I do not like being physical and will attempt to defuse any conflict verbally. I do however see the world in a slightly different way than others do. I pick up on peoples' injuries that they have and attempt to hide. I am constantly looking at people and identifying all their weakness should I need to engage them (I guess military training of being aware of your surroundings has a lot to do with this behavior).

Anyways, I was wondering that if you were already engaged in a physical fight in unfamiliar surroundings, when would you concede defeat?
I would probably pseudo-concede defeat. I would play possum until I could find an opening to become victorious are at least enough to survive.

Would you surrender?
I would surrender when all means of resistance have been exhausted and in continuing to fight would result in my death or the death of someone I'm responsible for.

Would you run?
I have nothing to prove to anyone and there is no shame in running if it is the best option for survival. "Run away to live to fight another day."

How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)?
I tend to be a tactical/defensive fighter.

How would you describe your method of fighting?
I am always looking for that weakness that I can exploit. I never fully engage in a fight. I start defensively and start probing for my opponent's weakness.

When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated?
When (s)he acknowledges that continuing to fight is not in his/her best interest.

1. When it's obvious I'm beaten, but generally I'd avoid getting in a fight except for when there is no other choice... at which point there's no point in admitting defeat.
2. If it were prudent to do so, such as where a gun was being aimed at me with no way of escaping or disarming them.
3. Depends on the situation.
4. Whatever was needed to be done, but I'd start off defensive and take full advantage of openings. Honour is for fools.
5. Pragmatic
6. When they've been sufficiently incapacitated.

Edit: missed a question.

- When i'm certain to be beat
- If it seemed the most rational thing to do
- Same as above
- Aggressive, if i have enough energy
- Win at all costs, depending on the importance of the fight
- When disabled sufficiently

I haven't had a fight since school, but most of those i won by being pretty ruthless.

**Senseofrelief** · 10-15-2011, 10:06 AM

I was in martial arts for years...if you stay at this...your either still throwing punches and kicks or you move into other areas as the logical progression...these days everything has a martial arts expression, even music...but at the heart here is the strategies and philosophy behind 'winning' for lack of a better word.

Yes, you can win a fight without throwing a punch...and yes, Sun Tzu was right about that being the goal.....

**wildbutwise** · 10-15-2011, 10:25 AM

Fighting to me is survival.Never underestimate your opponent.
I use my brain first to avoid it.Fight only if I have to and to use the environment to my advantage and plan for a fast escape if required.
Surrender is not an option if your outnumbered they will severly hurt you when they have the opportunity.
If I was hurt enough and could not take them out then run but be evasive use what you can find a weapon, transportation, or hide to throw them off.
There is no honour in street fighting anymore.Myself throw out the honour use tactics,good offensive and defensive, look for weakness know your limits.
Opponents defeated when they are dead, severely incapacitated, wounded, or running from you.

I have nothing to prove to anyone and there is no shame in running if it is the best option for survival. "Run away to live to fight another day." How do you fight (honorable, tactical, aggressive, defensive)? I tend to be a tactical/defensive fighter. How would you describe your method of fighting? I am always looking for that weakness that I can exploit. I never fully engage in a fight. I start defensively and start probing for my opponent's weakness. When would you consider your opponent(s) defeated? When (s)he acknowledges that continuing to fight is not in his/her best interest.

Yes, you can win a fight without throwing a punch...and yes, Sun Tzu was right about that being the goal.....

I use my brain first to avoid it.Fight only if I have to and to use the environment to my advantage and plan for a fast escape if required. Surrender is not an option if your outnumbered they will severly hurt you when they have the opportunity. If I was hurt enough and could not take them out then run but be evasive use what you can find a weapon, transportation, or hide to throw them off. There is no honour in street fighting anymore.Myself throw out the honour use tactics,good offensive and defensive, look for weakness know your limits. Opponents defeated when they are dead, severely incapacitated, wounded, or running from you.
