How do I get over being jumped and beaten? I'm highly disappointed that I couldn't defend myself and got knocked out when I tried to fight back. I've done martial arts, MMA and BJJ for years. However, everything went out the window all because I couldn't gather my wits.(and see anything) I feel like lost manhood. I want to go pick up Boxing, head back to the gym and get a weapon, but I'm not sure if all of that will even prepare for another ass kicking.
How do you get over being jumped when you feel should have defended yourself ?
Sign up for self defense classes. You may not be able to stop it from ever happening again - but you sure as fuck can be prepared and ready for a little surprise of your own.

How many people were there and did they catch you by surprise?
Jordan Nguyen
Congratulations on experiencing your first diversity class. Hopefully next time you'll have your legal CCW so you can remove scum dumb enough to continue approaching you after you draw.

I can't carry a gun due for a 5150 a couple years ago.
Mason Parker
Even the best fighters in the world cannot defend themselves when jumped on by surprise.

2 but I only got attacked by 1. Yeah, I was caught off guard pretty bad. I was high, tried from biking back home from an 8 hour shift, and a block from house. It was dark, caught between the blind spots of streets lights. They pulled up in a car and parked head on the corner. Didn't think much of it at first since it was just a neighborhood street. When I tried to ride by past them, a guy in a black hood that covered his entire face came out and blocked my path. I tried to slow down and get off but I was grabbed and hit 4 times. Somehow, I got into the middle of the street and shoved him off. I throw a couple of wild jabs and last thing I saw was him fade away. I woke up on the facing the ground thinking" what happened? " as I'm being punched in the back of the head. I had to realize I was still being jumped and got knocked out. I used all my strength to push my self up and run home.

You get over it by learning from your mistakes and not being an unthinking, unseeing and unreactive stoned zombie next time.
You may as well have never trained in anything at all.

>I've done martial arts, MMA and BJJ for years. You've been taught by play fighters. Ice done a great deal of martial arts but my father has also taught me how to fight. He was probably on the wrong side of the law in his younger days and got into a bit of mischief. You can't rely on everything your taught, you must train to act without thought to the point when something moves around you your body takes over and defends on it's own. If you can get the defence down you need to be ready to seriously injure someone, break bones and smash joints if you have to if your being attacked you are likely going to have to wound them enough that they are not getting back up any time soon.

A hard truth to swallow but I will accept it. True Really solid advice
Thanks for giving me real advice guys.
Thomas Morales
Stop getting high, faggot. That was part of the reason why your defenses were down; because you're a fucking pothead.
Carson Evans
The biggest issue in this entire thread is the fact that you are putting the cart before the horse. Entering into a combat scenario is reactive, and secondary to what you should be focused on. Situational Awareness is more important than being a 10-dan in martial arts or an NRA certified weapons expert.
Don't put yourself in a position in which you are mentally addled outside of a safe location.
Hunter Sullivan
Because all the MA shit can only helps to a certain extent. The best thing you can be to do better in a fight is be a big heavy nigga so start bulking. And none of this matters anyway when a gun is involved so get your Cw

Thought provoking and well said. When I smoke pot now, I'll find a safe spot and be more alert.
I can't have a gun legally
Lucas Young
I’ll say this once and never again. In a fight IT DOESNT MATTER WHO HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THE PERSON WITH MORE HEART WILL WIN.
Tyler Allen
first bit is good but the second bit is wrong because it's unreasonable to always expect safety in the world pot will fuck you up, especially if you're in such a weak state i got stared at nightwalking a few days ago, stared straight back but don't know what could've happened also got attempted mugged by 4 young guys, wasn't a great experience but learned alot, nothing too bad though didn't even lose my bike or my bag one of them dropped them after tripping, I'm not sure why because I was still walking (but was getting ready to sprint..)
Situational awareness is key. Always look behind your back. If you're being robbed, never fall, if you're on the ground, you're a dead man.
Hf with your smoke sesh what you smoking?
Jackson Roberts
>first bit is good but the second bit is wrong because it's unreasonable to always expect safety in the world I'm being practical here. OF FUCKING COURSE you don't want to ever consider yourself 100% safe. But telling someone to never drink, smoke pot, etc. isn't a realistic piece of advice. The middle ground is just telling them to light up at home rather than getting wasted at a bar.
Luis James
I have quite a history of martial arts, and the more I trained the more I realised how easily you could lose in a street fight. You cant be prepared for everything. There are many articles out there of UFC fighters getting fucked up in public, these are the top 0.00001% fighters and they still get shat on by average people because of CIRCUMSTANCES. Life is unpredictable, you can always train but you can never know what hit you.
Adam Rodriguez
Thanks for everyone's post
I dont think I can let this go. I'm a failure as a man.
Connor Torres
I have little experience in fighting myself and I don't have the time and will to study martial arts. But I am extremely aware of my circumstances at all times which lets me judge when I put myself in vulnerable positions - don't get high or drunk if you're not completely safe until the effects wear off.
Jaxon Hall
Get a fucking gun and shoot the next nigger who tries to beat you. Life is not a movie, kid, you cant just knock out 5 guys at the same time. Trust me, just buy a gun.
Tyler Moore
If there's more than 2 people jumping you then you basically have no chances of fighting back unless you're Mike Tyson.
Luis Evans
start meditating and build your chi. it'll improve your reaction time and put more power behind your strikes. it may seem silly or made up at first, but i assure you it is very real and will greatly improve your potential as a human being.
Camden Rivera
For the third fucking time, I CANNOT LEGALLY OWN A GUN.
