>can't defend himself in a fight >expects to get a gf
The minute your gf sees you get knocked out or even just intimidated/back down from a fight her attraction to you becomes ZERO. Women on a primal level want someone who can defend them and dominate other men.
user, once you're past 21 fights only ever happen if you're looking for them. Getting jumped is really the only thing you have to worry about but who walks around in the hood at night with their girl.
Jaxson Russell
I will once I'll get a little bit bigger.
Samuel Cox
An actual physical fight might not happen, but confrontations with other guys will. If your gf senses you back down her attraction to you will drop.
If you are trained in combat you will have the confidence to know IF some guy tried something you could destroy him and the confidence will show.
>An actual physical fight might not happen, but confrontations with other guys will. These are ridiculously easy to brush off.
No grown man is going to randomly start shoving you around and punching you in the face for no reason.
Eli Ward
Start now, you won't regret it. Just remember in a street fight everything goes. Still learning how to defend yourself from an attack an how to throw a basic punch is super helpful.
Fighting is idiotic because there's no way to win. Say some cholo squares up with you. It's a flow chart of ignoring him and looking like a bitch (and likely getting jumped anyway), or fighting him and from there either getting your shit kicked in and humiliated, or beating him and immediately getting jumped by his boys. "Good clean fisticuffs" don't happen in real life. Carrying a knife if many times more useful than trying to Matrix your way out of a dark alley and getting brutalized and possibly killed in the process.

Are you implying that having martial arts experience would be bad in this situation?
Mason Adams
Because i don't want to fight with my hands Plus it's not rocket science to know how to throw a punch
>ex-gf told me she thought I wouldn't be able to defend her if shit went down >end up beating the fucking living shit out of her new massive Chad boyfriend that she monkey-branched to 6 months later
It's time to get over her user and stop fantasizing knocking out her new boyfriend it isn't healthy.
Nathan Hall
please tell me the new boyfriend started it and u didn't just go out looking to start a fight with him. That shit is genuinely the lowest thing I can think of
Asher Gomez
street fighting is for little degenerate faggots. no one wins in a street fight. real men dont fight because they have nothing to prove. if you still look for street fights, you need to grow up. i have a gun so i dont need martial arts. if your girl leaves you because you dont want to fight, you should leave her because she's immature as fuck. girls dont think fighting is cool. and respectable woman is going to respect you for avoiding a fight. buy a gun and learn how to use it. if anything goes in a street fight, who's to say you arent going to get stabbed or hit with a brick?
Luis Moore
>respectable woman is going to respect you for avoiding a fight
that's what they say but if you let yourself get emasculated and run away she will think less of you even if she says otherwise
Lincoln Taylor
why do I need to lie for?
he came to my house looking for a fight
Kayden Smith
How desperate for a gf are you that you're willing to get into street fights, cuck?
I've never been in a fight but I know if someone tried to fuck with me I could annihilate him and that confidence shows.
Liam Bailey
got feelings hurt because of bants lmao People who like to talk shit sensitive when you talk shit back
Bentley Ortiz
Definitely not a Chad if he gets insecure and tries to fight you. Chad knows he's the best.
Henry King
>this thread again
might as well change the board from Jow Forums to /pua/
cool advice, bro
when's your bootcamp with that pickup artist dude who dresses like a fag
Easton Lewis
no mature woman is going to think you're manly for acting like a little bitch for escalating a violent situation. high school sluts will think you're badass, but a mature respectable woman won't. what kind of whores have you been dating, user? avoiding a fight isn't emasculating, it's being a grown ass mature adult. fighting is for little kids and criminals. grow up. it takes more strength and maturity to properly de-escalate a situation than it does to give into your primal emotions. do you think a mature woman is going to want to raise a child with someone that jumps into every fight he can? fuck no user. you got a lot to learn about women. and if you do know how to fight, nothing will get a woman wetter than de-escalating a violent situation knowing full well that you can beat the shit out of whoever is pressing you, because it further shows your maturity and manliness.
Caleb Bell
He was a Bodybuilder who competed and was massive as fuck and I was scrawny 18 year old at the time recovering from an illness lmao. I think he was 22 or 23
Kayden Sullivan
>nothing will get a woman wetter than de-escalating a violent situation knowing full well that you can beat the shit out of whoever is pressing you, because it further shows your maturity and manliness
But that's exactly my point? You shouldn't go around trying to fight people but knowing how to fight will give you that calm cool and collected confidence IF someone tries to start shit with you.
And your gf will know you could kick his ass but are being the bigger man, which is different from being a weak numale cuck with no fighting experiences who "is above fighting" but really just doesn't want his faggot ass kicked.
Logan Stewart
if you're a weak numale with a gf, then it's clear she doesnt give a fuck about how violent you can be.
Jonathan Flores
>a weak numale cuck with no fighting experiences who "is above fighting" but really just doesn't want his faggot ass kicked. wut lol, do you even adult bro?
Lincoln Lopez
I've spent a total of 20+ years in martial arts m8. Going back to judo once I'm done with this lot of assignments

Has anyone here found a martial arts class for less than $100/month?
Landon James
he lost because he is old as fuck
Jayden Sanchez
My judo club is 120/quarter and the head coach is a former Olympian and olympic coach. The kudo club i went to in japan was was 70/mo.
I very much doubt you'll get bjj/muay thai/mma under 100/mo outside SEA
Jordan Howard

Punching power is also about speed, so it's also down to genetics a lot.

How insecure are you? You also look like a nerd virgin who thinks he can impress girls by taking karate classes. Pathetic.

he wasn't old as fuck when he went 3-3 in the united states and lost to bigfoot silva and dan henderson, he was in his early 30s (generally considered prime for an MMA fighter)
he was however clearly physically smaller and less muscular during that time than in his prime
Nathan Gray
>30s >prime

Doesn't matter what style you train Doesn't matter how many people you are fighting at once Doesn't matter if you train for the streets, train for sports, or train. Doesn't matter how big or expensive your gun or knife is. Nothing beats a well placed pipebomb.
Thomas Gonzalez
I practise martial arts and I've never been in a fight, nor do I care about getting in one. They are a sport. If you are a decent human being, you realize they cultivate respect, decency, and discipline. Idiots like McGregor ruin the image of MA. Shit talking and fighting are for insecure manchildren, those who can't control their emotions, and those who were abused as children.
Jaxson Howard
What's Jow Forums's opinion on krav maga? There's a place in my area with decent pricing.
Brandon Miller
Meme. Learn either bjj, boxing, muay thai, judo, or wresliting
Carter Anderson
>i have a gun so i dont need martial arts.
You're just as childish as any street fighting nigger.
Jonathan Nelson
Martial arts are good to know, but it has nothing to do with women. You should never be getting into a fight, ever. Even if you know you'll win. It's not worth accidentally killing someone and going to jail over.
Martial arts are good to know in case you absolutely have no choice, and great as just general exercise.
>girls dont think fighting is cool. and respectable woman is going to respect you for avoiding a fight. >real men dont fight because they have nothing to prove. How much soy have you ingested today?
Cameron Nguyen
if it's not 100+ years old or it's main selling point is "self-defence", it's a meme
Christian Jones
>implying anyone even wants to fight you if you're jacked
Charles Gonzalez
The nazis had more black and muslim soldiers than the allies did. You have been lied to.
Liam Watson
One of the biggest red pills martial arts teaches you is that the only fight you win is the one you don't get into.
You don't even have to spar to get this, hold pads for someone and you'll understand.
Wyatt Price
Anyone who says "real men don't..." and "any respectable woman" is full of soy.
this. when you see a man act like a real man you just know instinctively. anyone trying to tell you what a "real man" should do is 99% of the time trying to shame you into doing what they want.
>a REAL MAN would step up and raise tyrone's kids >a REAL MAN wouldn't care if I've fucked 100 guys before him
nobody makes infographics saying
>a real man stays in school, gets a job and provides for his wife and kids
is 27 to old to learn? I got some muscle on me 3 plate bench 4 squat. Also kinda big though 6 1 220 lbs. I would like to learn how to fight also as a "fun" way for cardio
what can you say about it after a month? I want to do it as well
Gavin Martin
Cause I'm not a nigger who can't carry a gun legally
Ethan Cooper
deciding to go back to martial arts ... after a decade of lifting I'm pretty close to my genetic potential and unless I juice or go full OCD I don't have room to grow and can pretty much maintain my physique with calisthenics and some fun YOLOing once or twice a week in the gym ...
brazilianfag here and former BJJ purple belt, but not in the mood to go back to grappling. Suggest me some stuff anons
Ian Scott
because im a little bitch who cant do new things by myself
Christian Adams
The soyboy mentality
Kevin Williams
actually the knife situation may be even more dangerous. the moment you pull a knife on someone you escalate the confrontation from "fuck you up" to possibly deadly altercation.
two scenarios 1 - the guy gets scared and flees 2 - your attacker will go on survival mode because of your knife and him and his boys will go for the kill by whatever means necessary
Nolan Barnes
Fedor loses so much lately because he simply fights with no gameplan at all other than winging wild, looping haymakers, and casting punches with no set up until he either knocks the guy out, gets slept or runs out of time.
The last time you saw Fedor with a hint of a gameplan was when he chopped up Rizzo and Monson with leg kicks.
Fedor is surrounded with yes men, fights like he doesnt give a shit, and his career paid for it.
Carter Price
Are you all rich? How do you afford the costs of classes?
Xavier King
My muay thai gym is 90 dollars a month, the gym close to me is 150 dollars a month.
Why are gyms such memes? My muay thai place has everything I need, I do an actual sport and its cheaper.

Juan Russell
Only time I have seen a fight breakout during grade school was at parties or after school. Only time I have seen a fight breakout post college was at bars. Which ended real quick due to security and cops patrolling the streets. So as a kid you risk basically just your health. As an adult you risk both your health and possibly your career if you have a good one. However, adults rarely ever fight and when they do fight it is such a lame fight.
Xavier Rodriguez
>its not rocket science to know how to throw a punch
do you know why every boxing gym teaches you how to throw a basic jab?
Landon Barnes
too late to compete but never too late to learn self defense.
Samuel Russell
>$150/month gym membership
Were you going to some crossfit gym or something? Its only $20/month for my gym membership
Adrian Butler
If you can't spare $100 a month you need to: - review and revise your budget - invest in yourself/skills - reconsider your employment
Benjamin Edwards
>street fighting is for little degenerate faggots. no one wins in a street fight True. That doesn't mean that people won't try to pick them.
>buy a gun and learn how to use it. if anything goes in a street fight, who's to say you arent going to get stabbed or hit with a brick? This. However, being confident in breaking some mofo's nose or being able to judo throw them to the concrete gives you levels of escalation.
Ryder Sanchez
>the gym close to me is 150 dollars a month. I highly doubt it. What an asinine attempt at making martial arts sound affordable.
Connor Smith
A membership to my dojo costs $120, you get access to olympic tier BJJ and Judo, and good tier MT classes 7 days a week, and a weight room.
Elijah Williams
>Plus it's not rocket science to know how to throw a punch Oh nigga
There's a reason the first thing you learn is how to make a fist and how to throw a jab. Power comes from the feet and hips, and people fuck that up. People don't punch through their targets and they don't snap their jabs.
Grayson Evans
more bjj but just tickle instead of going for underhooks faggot
>if your girl leaves you because you dont want to fight, you should leave her because she's immature as fuck.

I guarantee you do not know how to throw a punch

Just wear shorts and a t-shirt man. You look like a goober for asking this.
Ian Rogers
I live 10 mins from Bang Muay Thai / Duane Ludwig... thinking of either starting off somewhere to get the basics then coming thru, or just maybe jumping in head first. but i'm 31 and scurred
Leo Carter
Oh man, sign up! That's a legit school. Don't be scared, people go to learn; you're not getting jumped into a gang or something.
Levi Jenkins
I think that his point is that losing a girl because you didn't want to get in a street fight isn't that big of a loss. I do agree that every dude should be able to defend himself though and people here shitting on MMA are homos.
Joshua Miller
I know your type, you’ve down some kind of martial art at a mcdojo for a month or two and think you’re some kind of ass kicking machine. Pro tip: your not Your an insecure little man child who probaly thinks that 2 months of combat training is sufficient to kick anyone’s ass. News flash bucko everyone can see right though your fake fighter persona to see you were emasculated by your father in your teenage years and you feel like if you could beat him up it would solve your daddy issues. It won’t Your dads moved on and so should you, cmon user it’s the healthy thing to do
