Ok last night i witnessed a friend getting threatened and i stepped in because my friend wanted nothing to do with the guy and was bowing profusely so to speak. I told the guy that no one wanted to fight and that he made his point. The dude tipped my beer into my face as i took a drink and so i pushed him away from me.
He came at me and i tied him up and told him to calm down over and over. He kept coming and eventually grabbed my hood and ripped my shirt. It kind of pulled me off balance so i adjusted and struck him with a decent amount of force with a knee to his lower chest. This made him rear back so i grabbed his jaw, twisted his head away from me and continued torquing his head until he went down. I went down on top of him and wanted a better position to control him and so i used my head as a point of leverage as i threw my legs around and ended up with him in a side headlock having both his arm and head within the lock. My legs were now out perpendicular to his body which is what i wanted. I started flicking him on his forehead and laughing, telling him to just stop.
At this point he stopped and as i was about to get up a friend of his lunged at me as if to kick me in the face. So my sister lol, grabbed him and started yelling at him. He was like "$hit im sorry" and i think started hitting on her after that.
So what did i learn? Well, my fight did go to the ground. However, i wasnt really trying to hurt him and was consciously aware of many opportunities to strike him but didnt. So i think it went to the ground because i was mainly trying to control him rather than take him out. I ended up with lots of small cuts from rolling on the ground, especially from when i used my head as leverage..which was stupid but i wasnt really thinking about the state of the street i was on at the time. Also, you are vulnerable to other atttackers while you are grappling and if they have friends...they WILL jump in. Afterwards 2 other friends of his tried to come at me but got stopped by the onlookers. Overall, i wasnt happy. I should have just dropped him and left.
