you dont have any ju-jitsu schools around you? that would help a lot. it takes a bit of gettin use to, but its real fun once you get the hang of knowin where to have certain body parts placed and moved. im with philly the ones who bark the loudest are the ones that are usually fake. not always, but in most cases they are its the ones that really dont say shit you gotta watch they'll just walk out and you think you punked his ass till he comes back with a judge and blows your face off.

I can't stand the loud mouthed tough guys, most of them nowadays have no concept of honor or respect and you're more likely to end up on the ground being stomped by half a dozen of these tough guys then having an honest one on one fight.
I have had some training in Submission Grappling but not BJJ... I honestly feel tho that I'm just not genetically a grappler...

I like second-hand tough guy stories. LOL. These are situations where someone witnessed their friend or brother being a tough guy and second-hands the story to you because "that guy was just so awesome" they can't help wanting to share. Hahaha. I like these better because it's both more humble and more pathetic at the same time.
Edit: Both my father and best friend have second-handed tough guy stories to me. They're both great fellows, and never get into fights themselves, but they showed their desire to be alpha males through this indirect expression of just how awesome these alpha males they know are.
To be fair, both were provoked by the other guy in the fight. And I do think that a tough-guy story of defense is a lot more enjoyable to hear than a tough-guy offense story. Offensive tough-guys are the worst. Hahaha.
P.S. I totally third-handed both stories. I am the epitome of a hypocrite!

I used to box when I was young, my father insisted on it. Sometimes it seemed ok but after a while I thought- to hell with this, I mean what value does this add to my life? So instead went back to a more favorite activity- swimming. You can get the adrenaline high without injuring or being injured and then there were the women in their bathing suits (the icing on the cake).

Aikido is fun to watch, way superior to jujitsu. Almost no energy is expended.. little old men throwing huge guys across the room! I saw this video once of some guy who thought he could knock people out without touching them, had a class and everything, all of his students were convinced it was real because they'd get knocked out. If I find the link I'll post it. Another school thought it was just crap, so one guy challenged the sensei of this invisible knock-out club. The sensei was doing all these hand gestures like he's Ryu throwing a fireball (Street Fighter games) and the guy just looked at him wondering WTF, then walked up and decked him, LOL, messing up the sensei's face.

I was at the bar a few weeks ago, went to take a piss but all the urinals were stacked up... No biggie right? Wrong, some dude tried fighting me bc I walked in and was waiting to piss. Haha, I laughed so fucking hard at him. He kept cursing and pointing at me saying "imma fuck you up if you don't get out of here... I'm not playing." Obviously he was "playin"

I get my ass kicked a lot. I'm an incredible smart ass. I always feel like I have to point out other people's stupidity and mistakes. I feel like I'm helping but I guess they don't feel the same way...haha I'm like Larry David.

Everyone knows that "tough guy" now days... It's annoying. All-talk punks that nut up when faced with a real aggressor. There are real predators all over the place. LoL, but, they don't advertise. Bring fists? They brought a knife... Bring a knife? they brought a gun... Not scared of guns? They apologize and ask to make it right... In general (and in my opinion) people are much more aggressive, and soft, than 20 years ago. Too much PPV MMA, and too many chuck noris movies and cops episodes... Fighting is easy. Winning a fight is simple, and losing a fight (but still bowing up) is even more simple. Defending yours ... your person and the loved ones that can't always defend themselves, with knowledge, and the wherewithal to back down when the confrontation has been resolved, is a lot more difficult. Especially without crossing the line.
