I've had a few bar fights during my military days back in the 90’s.
A few years ago I had a fight at a local fitness club in the Atlanta area. One of those Brazilian Jujitsu T-shirt wearing guys kept talking trash to me as I was working out. Keep in mind I'm 6' 247lbs. I walked away several times but he followed me around the gym talking about how I was soft and he could choke me out if he wanted to. Soon 1 of his buddies joined in on the trash talking. Once I decided I had no way out, I stood up and punched him the jaw knocking him out cold. His body convulsed as he laid on the ground. I then went after his friend but a few guys in the gym held me back.
The gym manager ran over and threatened to call the cops but everyone that witnessed the entire event came to my defense saying those 2 guys threatened me the entire time. I may have a little too much body fat but I also bench well over 300lbs and I used to box as a kid. I never start fights, once I determine there is no way out of a fight I make sure I am the one who throws the first punch. A lesson learned the hard way on the playgrounds growing up on New Orleans.
It happened to me once, I was waiting in a line outside a bar in Albany, NY with a good friend of mine that happened to come back from Iraq on that very day, one of the guys came out and started abusing me about my ethnicity(I am Indian) and started mocking me in a weird accent, I told him to go his own business when he decided to get physical, I and my friend did give him a decent thrashing before his friends decided to show up after which it broke up into an all out fight, however, the bar bouncers were quite quick to show up and rounded up the drunk abuser and his friends and gave them to the cops, i was later asked to come to the police station and present my side of the story, which I did, thankfully, I was not guilty of anything except defending myself under abuse, and I didn't press any further, it wasn't worth it, once a racist, always a racist.

Wow that's crazy, why would they randomly come and talk trash to you like that though, I mean, it's just madness since they are just showing themselves to be jack asses and also could get into trouble with the law. Was there any prior incident between the two of you?
It just makes me feel that it's worth investing every penny into building that home gym instead of going to a fitness center to workout along with such jerks and get into trouble with law enforcement agencies.
Aside from cracking my brother in the nuts with a wet towel, and various other sibling hijinx, there was one time and only one time in my entire life I did this. I was out with a friend of mine and there was this guy I sort of knew because I'd seen him around. After he passed me he took his hand and smacked me on the ass as hard as he could and it stung like hell. Without even looking to see who did it I, almost instinctually, swung around without hesitation and nailed him square in the nose with my fist...blood all over. I'm more of a sarcastic wordsmith when it comes to most situations, but this just ignited something I never thought I'd ever do, but given the opportunity to relive that moment I can't say I would do it any differently. It was like someone else took over my body and mind in that moment. But have always known the realizations of such actions like him filing assault charges or worse I could have hit him just right and killed him. So, I don't necessarily advocate such measures.
Many years later I was working with a guy who actually told this story, not knowing it was me, and I thought 'Wth?' and went to the box of photos I had from that era and lo and behold he was in the background of the photo the night it happened. So, always think twice about physical violence - it has a way of following you.
It does not, however, follow you as closely as a death from doing nothing ...
The point I was going after there was guys who get into physical altercations because of macho bullsh#t. Times where it's not necessary. Like a thread I read once where this guy was going to go to his girlfriend's place of work and stake out the parking lot for this guy who had hit on her so he could beat the hell out of him. That's unnecessary and idiotic.

That kind of stuff usually happens when your younger and have no good sense. Haven't been in a fight since I was 20 and it will probably stay that way!
