Ganob, rules have changed, we can now talk about fight club. :D I guess the reason why I don't have a problem with it is that they are free to make their own choices, legal or illegal,(It's all a judgement call, anyways). If they are willing to fight bare knuckle and risk possible injury or death, then they should be prepared for the consequences. Anybody know of any around Dallas? :p

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about
life. IT GOES ON.

In the sense that they all know what the consequences are and still agree to do it, I have no problems with it.

Considering that there are a bunch of such clubs at my school and my friends and I have been asked to participate, I'll give you a few thoughts(pro and con) about these clubs.

They're better than street fights that are settled with blades, bottles, and bats.

All participants know what they're getting in to.

People can be pressured to fight.

Most people are untrained, have no control, and there are no medics on hand for broken bones or KOs.

Once rules are implemented, people may look to fight elsewhere without rules(generally not good).

They are often loud and can become annoying to neighbors.

There is no way to check participants for blood born pathogens(diseases), drugs, physical conditions etc.

Parents often don't know and then trouble starts.

Minors can be pressured/ duped into fighting adults(18yrs+) This has legal problems all over it.

There is no way to control the mob/spectators.

People can bring "friends" to take on other friends. Gang war anyone?

It keeps people from shooting up schools(Santana is still in my community's memory)

These are just a few thoughts. I like the idea but it is VERY risky. I'm actually thinking of going to one in a few weeks(they have to find a place to hold it where they won't get in trouble) to check it out. I'm not sure if I'll fight but I want to see what it's like. I just hope no one asks me to fight. If I go, I'll let you guys know about it. That is, if anybody cares...

I saw something on the news where kids were having boxing matches in the parks somewhere. It was all reforied and for fun and the kids had a good attitude and wern't getting hurt but the local law cracked down on it anyway.

[The Whyzyrd]

Did anyone notice that the town has an ordinance against fight clubs? I don't really care if they fight or not but they need to find a town that allows such things.

There is a fight club advertised on our local rock station.

It is held weekly at a bar in a neighboring town.

Prizes are awarded.

All you have to do is send your information and a picture to the station looking for "half naked men willing to beat the hell out of each other."

Ah. Liquor and violence all for a cash prize.

Seriously.

Back in the old days it was much simpler. You just walked around with a "kick me" sign on your back.

I agree with the "let them fight but they have to get a license" idea.

Here's a link to some brawl took place in a club in Israel a few days ago.

It is clearly seen that the attackers, three of them, know what they're doing and not just throwing punches.

None of the bystanders stepped in to help - would you?

[bigdoing]

hard to tell what started the whole thing. The guys went back to dancing around after the incident, and did not seem to be bothered at all.

Not much any body could hope to stop, due to the fact these guys were trained and agressive.

Where were the clubs security?

[Lost Oath]

Club security do nothing as usual.
No one even serverd a complain to the police and they got of it easy.

[IronFist]

The reason that guy won is because he had the collar on his leather jacket turned up.

I would have come out of left field with my shirt on backwards an inside out and kicked the sh!t out of all three of them.
