Did kung fu for about 18 months before going to Uni, and on/off in Uni......that gave me the confidence, and also the self-control to only use it when absolutely necessary when talking your way out of a situation fails......the trainer also included a lot of street-fighting techniques (like using elbows and knees, getting out of bearhugs so that the opponent can't breathe, lots of useful stuff like that), rather than just sticking to the syllabus-stuff.
Went to the gym for about 3 years before Uni, aswell, which helped with toning......it kinda went downhill in Uni, with very cheap beer and take-away food, but I'm still very broad-shouldered from the weight-lifting at the gym.
Concentrated mostly on my legs then, though, and also when I did kung-fu......pretty handy with them for someone of my build, I was told.
Since I did kung-fu, though, I've never been in a fight outside of a sparring match, so either I'm good at talking my way out of situations, or I just avoid them in the first place!

People tend to go away after you gob out the blood and offer them another one for free.
Its not worth getting into a fight these days. You'll either get a proper beating or arrested. Best to make them look silly and walk off.
If theirs lots of them, ill take the punch and just walk off, if theirs just 1 or 2 of them ill fight back
i play rugby and train kung fu, id still rather talk my way out of a situation but if push came to shove, like anyother person id have to fight, noway im gonna stand their and take a beating

I suppose it's different for me, my job puts me in more confrontations in a week than most of you'll see in a year so it's more of a neccessity for me.
I love combat though so even if i wasn't a doorman i'd still train

Yeah, being big (not that I am) has it's pros and cons, people either find you a challenge and wanna fight you, or intimidating and keep away!

as long as u get a hard m8 u alright 
i got a group of m8's (bikers, like hell's angels or something)), i only 21yrs, but they all 25+ some near 40yrs.........there's about 10 of em, and when i'm out with them (not v.often) they can do what they want.....VERY nutty bastards....3 of em r brothers and just absoluty bonkers.
I find most of the time, u don't need to fight, is good for revenge/ teaching someone a lesson, but not to sort out a problem. Make people feel stupid and they sort themselves out usually...

i work pt as a doorman, and 99% of the time its sooo much easier to talk a situation down that fighting with some cunt.
But as said there is always some random wants to fight with u if ur big, more than likey just to prove a point to his mates or not.
Working on a door ive sen many litle guys kick the shit out of bigger guys, so funny to watch.
and then again ive seen some bigger guys that are plain mental.
Fighting aint clever.
But can be fun 
oh yea nd i CAN fight

as for sticking up 4 mates , last yr this twat wa gonna beat me m8 up gaz (baza 31 on here) and this lad swun for me , so i cracked him , nxt thing is another lad is on my back , and another fcuker as well from sumwhere . made em look stupid tho as the callys all got a beating and all backed off when i kep goin at em , i just think when ur in a dodgy situation , u either kick the fcuk or get fcuk kicked off u !and i think fcuk it , chin in and give all i have got .And its seemed to have worked for me !other wise i know wi half of tossers round her if u get beat up and put on floor they will stamp on ur head and wunt think twice bout giving u brain damage!
Also last fight wa wi a well known figting lad , plays for halifax blue sox , he is big ,and i know from experiance it does mean fcuk all ! as he was slow , punched like a pussy , and went down straight away! and this guy is supposed to be summart! he also had like a shit load of mates behing him , lads and lasses and i think he started as he thought i wud be an easy target and it wud make him look good in front of his mate , well he lucked a right tw@ after , nose and mouth bleeding , bent over wi blood running from his face ! I Fukin h8 bullys and ppl who start for no reason ! just to look good!
