Guest Insanityman Report post Posted January 11, 2003 Just curious, I have one among the kids at my school and I enjoy it. We have barely any rules... so if you could say what rules you have, if any, I'd be in debt for your advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Old Me Report post Posted January 11, 2003 In high scool we just did regular boxing and followed thos rules. In later years for a brief period of time, we did a kind of No Holds Barred thing, but feelings got hurt and friendships were suffering etc. Not a good idea in my opinion.

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 11, 2003 I could understand wrestling with some friends legit, but just have all-out fights? Nah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Insanityman Report post Posted January 11, 2003 Well yes, I am retarded. In a way I did miss the whole point, but I never started one because we saw the movie. I understand where you're all coming from, and hell your half right, but we didn't do it because the movie. Most of us just like the adrenaline high from fighting.

Guest The Old Me Report post Posted January 12, 2003 When my friends and I did it after high school, it wasn't all out fighting. I guess it was just boxing without the gloves. And it was stupid, which is why we stopped. Some people's ego's can't take shit like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Old Me Report post Posted January 12, 2003 Oh for crying out loud, it's really sad that these things actually happen. sad that people have boxing exhibitions or spar with friends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big Poppa Popick Report post Posted January 12, 2003 I spar with friends, each of us has at least 5 years of martial arts training So in other words, we aint amatuers, and we know all the safety precautions we should take. If you're just randomly fighting untrained peeps, you're an idiot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 12, 2003 See, like I said, I can understand wrestling around with friends, and sparring with them. I've sparred with a couple of friends (no face shots allowed), and it was pretty fun. But to have an all-out Fight Club? Pretty damn stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Insanityman Report post Posted January 12, 2003 Damn it! I knew I was forgetting something! Yes, for us it isn't full out fights. But like wrestling with some strikes until someone taps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted January 12, 2003 Ban ::Evil Ed flashes on screen:: Agnes ::Evil Ed flashes on screen:: When I spoke those words, I'd finally realized I'd become like everyone else. Just another mindless college student who thinks they're freeing their mind when they're just sponges soaking up someone else's propaganda on just another message board.

Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted January 12, 2003 In high school we used to have fights in my basement, but we'd stop whenever someone needed to take a break. It was pretty funny when someone would make you stop everytime you punch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted January 14, 2003 Oh yeah, these things do really exist, in abundance. I've visited a watered-down version once with all submissions and no strikes allowed (tapped out like a bitch four times in a row to TNA's Chase Stevens), and I've heard of full-on versions around.

Guest DrTom Report post Posted January 14, 2003 If you're going to "fight" your friends, it should either be sparring (with the caveat that you both know what you're doing, have sufficient training, and know the safety precautions) or wrestling just for the hell of it. Every now and again, at parties, a few of us will clear space on the floor for a little wrestling. We also take care to be away from things like glass doors, and to cover protruding furniture corners with pillows. Nothing complicated, nothing designed to injure someone or anything like that -- just a couple of chaps throwing it down, relatively safely, for the hell of it.

Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted January 14, 2003 Tom, as one fellow big man to another, may I ask just how drunk your friends are to be to actually step in the rugged circle with you? For various reasons (fairly obvious) none of my friends will participate in any kind of wrestling/fighting with me. When I was younger though I did wrestle with some of my friends a couple times at parties or some other indoor area. My problem back then was that whenever I went to the ground with someone in a hold or a takedown, everyone else would jump on top of me in a dog pile of sorts. "Let's jump on the big guy!" they'd always say. Oh, how that was fun... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 14, 2003 Yeah, but the obstacles like furniture and trees add a whole new dimention to Scufflin'. Drywall commonly falls prey to the top of a head with some momentum, or an errant elbow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
