I do feel you man!... I have had a similar experience happen to me... and when it came right down to it, the other guy had physical viewable marks on him and I did not...( not that I didn't either, but they were not as visible ), so because the other guy was more visibly hurt, they figured to go after me as the aggressor..., it seams that even though it might not be right, going to court showed the TRUE  intentions of the other person and who really was the aggressor... I got a good lawyer and the best advice I could give you is keep your cool in court and if it goes anything like what happen to me the other people in cross examination will loose their temper and show they do not have self control and are likely of having started the aggression upon you... Hopefully the truth comes out in court for you!

I used to fight, but now I just hang out and watch fights.  I was simi-pro for 4 years and during that period, I never lost a fight.  The first advise I would give you is;  This piss me off thing needs to go, as this will get your a*s kicked good!!!  You must be in to it mentally as well, as physically.  I used to love it when someone lost their temper with me.  I wanted them to loose it, and charge me like some bull.  That is when I would knock their a*s out.  DO NOT ever think you fight better when you get mad.  That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  Set you off?  Are you kidding me?  You'll get your a*s knocked out in a hurry!  If you wish to hit hard, then you must work with a bag.  One of those big swinging bags.  The small bag is for getting your speed up as in speed bag.  The heavy weight of the big bag helps you to learn to move weight with your punch without breaking your wrist.  This is why one tapes their wrists up before a fight.  When fighting, you must try to punch through the object you are hitting.  What I mean by that is; to step into your punchs, and put you weight into the punch.  The idea is to send your punch through the object you are hitting, and using your weight to push it through.  It's kind of like driving a nail with a hammer.  You can either bang at the nail, or you can let the weight of the hammer drive the nail for you.  It takes much practice to unserstand what I'm talking about, and punching something as practice to perfect the punch.  When fighting, you can tell where a hard punch is coming from, by watching the weight shift to that foot as the punch is being thrown.  I used to pay close attention to the other boxers feet.  This way I knew where and how hard the puch was coming at me.  Throwing a knock out punch is different than jabbing to set up the punch.  Lets use a uppercut as an example; what you are trying to do is; pick the person up off the ground, but you are trying to lift all there weight with your punch.  You know that just the punch will not lift the person up without using your legs to get strength to pick them up with.  I could talk for days about this, but I'm not going to.  Just know that a mad (pissed off) person makes mistakes, and when you get into it with someone who has training, you cannot afford to act without thinking.  The best thing you can do sometimes is let the fight come to you, and act accordingly.  You must assume the person you are fighting is going to kick your a*s, and you are there to defend yourself from getting knocked out.  Always assume the other person is better, until they prove it different.  The very person that's going to teach you a lesson, is the person you most think you can beat.  You will see what I mean.  You can't beat someone if your eyes have been beat shut.  The best thing to do is; fight defensively, never get head strong, or loose your cool.  You may think you fight better when you are pissed off, but that will get your head ripped off your body, believe me!  By the way, my neece fights professionally.  She fights out of a Gym in Columbia SC, and has fought Layla Ali before.  Layla knocked her a*s out, and I think that was because she was over confident, and had no respect for Layla.  I told her, she must change the way she fought in order to beat someone better than her.  She didn't listen, and got knocked out.  Now she is training her behind off and trying to get another shot a Layla.  If you are serious about training and becoming a boxer, then learn some skills, and train even harder than you think you can.  Running down the road a 4:00 am doesn't win fights, but it does get you in shape to go the distance.  I hope I have been some help to you.  Good Luck!!!

It depends on what kind of fight it was and if there were weapons involved.  By weapons I don't necessarily mean guns or knives.  They are both some big dudes.

Yes, you did the right thing. You may not feel very proud of yourself right now, but be assured, that many people ARE! It takes a bigger, smarter, more mature person to not fight when someone is taunting you, than to fight. YOU RULE!!!!

My boyfriend stuck up for me at a concert. This guy kept shoving and pushing me and other people for no apparent reason. And he was a lot older than us and should've been more mature about it. My boyfriend almost got in a fight with him after he told him to stop, but the guy wasn't listening. I stood in between them just because I didn't want them to throw any punches or anything.\n\nHe never got in a fight with some other guy trying to hit on me. He's a little more mature than that and knows how to handle things better. He trusts me to do the right thing.

The best thing is to walk away to avoid confrontation and give yourself time to calm your anger. \n\nIt's better to be a coward then hurt someone and or yourself. One day you'll beat up the wrong person and end up in jail. If that's the case,is any one of these kids worth going to jail over?!!\n\nMy suggestion is walk away and take a good look at yourself and ask yourself why these people mess with me...could be your clothes, your attitude, etc.\n\nChange one or more of these and you may stop getting messed with and no longer have to beat anyone up.\n\nIf none of these works, seek help, before it's to late and you wind up in jail. Then you will REALLY GET PICKED ON AND PEOPLE WILL BE BEATING YOU UP!! Think about it it!\nGood Luck

No. Fighting never really solves anything. The only reason to fight is for self defense.

If you are going to get your ass kicked, you must first eliminate any idea of fighting this person, because if you fight them, they will kick your ass if they are good at doing that.\nIf you are in that position, instead of trying to fight them, only focus on destroying them before they can kick your ass.  Because of this, all rules must go out the window...you should and must deploy any means necsessary to take them out.  If you think they are about to attack, you must make DAMN sure you do it first and use whatever you can find.....bottles, rocks, chairs, elbows, knees, your head, or anything else that will make sure you will survive.  And once you know you have the chance...Run....don't be stupid.\nAlso, a strong and fast throat jab will most likely stop any sized aggressor.  Eyes, groin, and the ever popular dual palm slaps to the ears which destroys their eardrums.

Um, It's Miyamoto Musashi and it's the Book of 5 Rings. \n   Anyway, if we are talking about a "real" fight- a self defense situation- then you should first try to avoid it at all costs. Run away if possible, give the person what they want if you think that will end the threat. Nothing you have is worth risking your life...unless you think they will hurt you or someone else around you anyway. \n   If you do have to actually fight, make it as fast, as devastating, and as absolutely brutal as you possibly can. The longer your enemy is capible of hurting you the worse it is. There are no rules (other than the legal rights of ANY individual), there are no points for a take down, and no judges will award points after you lose. If it is TRULY self defense, hurt the enemy as bad as you can as fast as you can and then run away and call the police. \n   Nuff Said

I personally would go stop it,who knows how long it would take the police to get there,the guy might be dead by the time the police get there.....Some people can't stop a fight,these people should call 911\n\nWhat my problem is are people who can get involved and don't........there are to many cowards in this world that care about themselves and no one else.\n\nI don't have to know someone,to die for them......but thats just me\n\nMay JESUS enter your heart today\n\nhttp://www.gotquestions.org

In self-defense, I would kick the HELL out of his testicles.\nThat would let him know not to mess with me.\n\nGuys already know not to mess with me. ;)

if the enemy is immobilized and no longer an threat to you, no you arenot allowed to "finish him off". If you still feel he is a threat to you (i.e.trying to reach for his weapon to shoot you) then make sure he can't get to his weapon,incapacitate him from doing so, but rules of war are very tricky so you better be careful to make sure it's a life or death situation once you have fired that first shotand he/she is down, otherwise you could go up for investigation
