Ok, how many train in CMA and have had more than one real fight (non-sport, non-competition).

Let's see if we can track down all these CMA guys that cave in when punched.

Does the Taco Bell dog I kicked when it bit my kid count?

[Yao Sing]

Only if he hit back.

What if the actual fights i have been in all occured prior to my CMA training?

i grew up and stopped getting into brawls. and no, i do not do any sport fighting.

though i will say i have had some really rough "sparring" matches since i began trainng.

4 busted ribs, on two different occasions. bit through my mouthpiece and chipped a tooth, been kicked/punched in the head and dropped numerous times, then your various other blunt damage...

maybe im a puseh

I'm going to say any adult fights count, whether pre or post CMA training.

The point being have you experienced a real life attack. There are some who feel most CMA guys would be shocked by a real life attack and are clueless about real fighting.

Myself, I've been there before so I'm not surprised by anything. I think I've outgrown it too, last scrap was in my mid 40's.

But it looks like I'll be coming out of retirement to straighten out my daughters ex-husband.

I had one "encounter" in college. I didn't get hit, but the guy took a swing and I was able to lock him up and hold him down until campus police arrived. He was pretty drunk and causing a ruckus to begin with.

I had another encounter, but the guy backed down before anything came of it.

I had numerous scraps growing up though.

Does getting into physical fights with my ex count? If so, yes I have. Though honestly, once I got serious with my training in Pai Lum, I also got better at avoiding fights with the B@stard.

[Rockwood]

Never been in a fight. I promised my first teacher as a teen that I would never use martial arts to hurt others, and since then never had a problem I couldn't talk out of. Plus I always have a huge stupid looking grin on my face and raggedy clothes so no on thinks I'm much of a threat. Plus I live in Oakland CA and no one fights here.

[GreenCloudCLF]

I nailed him with a 1 hit knock out...that should count!

[Oso]

do fights while a bouncer count?

[Lucas]

are we talking fair fights toe to toe? or are we taking anything with violent force into account....cause that changes a lot

[Chosen-frozen]

do fights while a bouncer count?

If the do, I gave up trying to count a long time ago. Probably low to mid thirties .

If not it reduces mine to single digits or VERY low doubles. I`m just a big sweet Pooh-bear type, and nobody really wants to swing on Whinnie the Pooh.

Nowadays I like to think I`ve outgrown my past.
