I'll just get two things out of the way first as they will probably come up...
1. I did the search! Found nothing.
2. I am aware this is probably the wrong section for this question, but I couldn't find a better alternative.
3. NO NEED TO TELL ME TO AVOID FIGHTS, I already do my best to avoid fights, and I wouldn't be asking this if it was working! and I have no intention of not going out on account of dickheads in the street/ bars/ clubs.
My question: Aside from actually picking fights (for obvious legal reasons) what's the quickest way to learn how to fight in a bar/ street fight scenario?
I'm by no means physically intimidating (5'8" and 160lbs) which is why I always have some (usually bigger than me) hater mofo trying to start crap with me.
It never ceases to amaze me how these tall tattooed body building dick heads never actually fight anybody their own size. It's always someone smaller and it's almost always me (probably cuz I'm so fly). Like if I wanted to feel tough, I would probably go after dudes larger than me. That makes sense.
I also ride the public transit alone at night, I won't even get started on the creeps I have encountered there.
Most times I can diffuse the situation/ walk away but there are others, like the other night, where I am not so lucky.
I've been to a few martial arts clubs but it's always the same air kicks, cute arm locks and sport/ competition style fighting with long drawn out curriculums designed to extract years of membership fees than teach fighting and quite frankly the only tough guys in my book are guys that are in the army, war is life and death, so I thought I would put the question to real fighters.
What do they teach in the army? Thoughts? Suggestions? Style/ school recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
