When you’re faced with an overly aggressive person, you probably won’t react very well unless you have some training to help you deal with the situation. The ability to “calm the raging beast”, so to speak, is a useful skill that anyone can learn. Unfortunately, like most skills, it can let you down on occasion.

Sometimes, generally when alcohol is involved, there’s literally not a thing you can do to diffuse a tense situation. Sad to say, there are times when you need to learn how to fight, and knowing how might just save your life.
Occasionally, someone will confront you with passive-aggressive behaviors. These include things like calling you names or trying to bully you. In these situations, you don’t need to get rough with anyone. The way to handle yourself is with words, not fists. But if you are really in danger of falling victim to bodily assault, you have to know something about self defense. There’s no way around it: to be fully secure, you have to know how to fight.

There is an important skill that most police (or others who deal with violent people) possess. That is, the ability to judge at a glance if a situation is potentially troublesome. This sort of ‘survival skill’ requires you to figure out how most people act when they are just having fun, so you can avoid misjudging a situation. You don’t want to get physical with someone who is only playing around, right? If someone is accosting you with some good-natured name calling, you shouldn’t hit him, it’s that simple. On the other hand, you need to be able to recognize when name-calling is simply the first step towards escalating the level of violence from verbal to physical.

It is never a good idea to go around looking for a fight. But you should always be ready for one, if the situation dictates it. When you find yourself in dangerous places where people are drinking, this caveat is doubly true. It’s triply true when the alcohol is inexpensive, plentiful, and relatively un-regulated. In cases such as that, you have to be careful because there is a level of danger that is always present.

On the other hand, nobody wants to go around half-cocked at all times. Staying clear-headed and calm is something you should strive for. But this may mean limiting your alcohol consumption, or abstaining altogether. It does you no good learning how to fight if you are the one who flips out on other people at the drop of a hat. Learning to fight should go hand-in-hand with learning how to act in a responsible manner.

The good news is, it is easier than ever to learn how to fight and learn proper punching technique because there are plenty of reputable places on the web where sober-minded people congregate to discuss serious issues such as this.

Mike Tyson’s daughter was found hanging from a cord yesterday. Exodus who is only 4 years old somehow appears to have got caught in the cable that was hanging from a treadmill in the family home. Latest reports are that she is in an “extremely critical condition”.

Kids are durable and hopefully she’ll pull through. Mike Tyson despite his wrongs is still one of my favourite boxers of all time. Iron Mike truly set the world alight when he stepped onto the world scene in his no-nonsense black boots.

Tyson has flown from Las Vegas to the family home in Phoenix on hearing news of the accident. Personally I hope that it’s nothing but good news from here on in.

If you were out on Saturday night then there is a good chance that you missed what was probably one of the best fights of the last 5 years!  If you like your boxing to be of the “stand their toe to toe hitting each other” style then this was a fight for you, right up there with the Eubank/Benn Super Middleweight fights of the nineties!  Carl Froch from England, Jean Pascal from Canada.  ITV have obviously got a gem in Froch, the only question is how long until he’s on Sky and we’re paying for the pleasure?  Anyway, not worth worrying about that now, here is the first part of Froch – Pascal fight in its full glory, the rest to follow soon, enjoy :-

Hopoate sticks his finger up

Ex Rugby League star John Hopoate has managed to stick one finger up the Rugby League authorities. Hopoate is perhaps most well known for his “habit” of sticking a finger up the ass of his opponents whilst on the Rugby pitch.

The bad boy of Rugby League gave up the sport 3 years ago after his club, the Manly Sea Eagles tore up his contract for yet another indiscretion involving him leaving an opponent with concussion after a tackle. Instead of doing nothing Hopoate decided to take up boxing, obviously he was a natural.

Within 3 years Hopoate has now captured the Australian heavyweight title, whilst the Tongan born lumper obviously hits hard it’s not been confirmed yet if the stink of arse around his gloved fist had something to do with his ninth round knockout of the previous champion Bob Mirovic.
