I can drive over to spar Max, and maybe I'll toughen up.

Promise not to clobber me too badly though. :P

I did martial arts for quite a while, but through highschool was the worst... People used to think it funny how easily they could trigger a bloody nose (at some stage of my teenage life I could have a blood nose triggered by a light tap) and eventually that wore thin.

I remember some kid tried to strangle me so I broke his hold and flung him halfway across the room.

I entered highschool at 139cm and 58kg (4'short" and ~120lbs), and graduated at 5'10" and 70kg (~145lbs).

I've never really been sure where the line between playfighting and "real" fighting begins, but a good natured fight between friends. What's sad is that I don't have anyone to fight with anymore - my fightbuddy from high school moved on, my brother came down with a life threatening illness that means the amount of damage needed to take him down is the same amount needed to kill him, even with boxing gloves on.

Not that I'd ever be able to take him down, of course. Built like a tank, longer reach, spent years wrestling... ugh. One of his friends is probably still up for fighting, but he's a freakin' awesome martial arts dude, and I like to land at least one hit before I'm laying bloody on the ground.

I'm actually remarkably bad at fighting anyway, all things considered, so getting my ass kicked as a past time probably shouldn't be something I remember fondly. :P

I'm weird when it comes to fighting. The only real fight I've ever been in I dominated and cracked three of the other kids ribs. The problem is, I hate hurting people, but I love fighting. :/

From 18 to 22 I was at peak physical condition, graduating at 5'9 feet and 200 pounds; I've lost a good deal of that muscle mass since, having used postgraduation as an excuse to slack off on my exercise routine. I am trying to get back on track, but bad habits die hard.

The closest to a real serious bloodying fight is that one time in martial arts class where we were sparrig wearing protective gear, and this guy cracked me a good one across the face. I thought nothing of it durong the match, but as soon as the instructors called us off it started bleeding like crazy.

I backed some guy into a corner with a roundhouse kick and flying punch, once. Didn't hit him, but people sang "kung fu fighting" whenever I was around for like, a week.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

And thus Kaijyuu became bay12's Bruce Lee, defender of Earthrealm.

Personally, my belief is if you're enjoying the fight, it's not a fight. In regards to that, any fight I ended up in resulted in me aiming for their knuckles. Fun times.

Kaijyuuce Lee.


I never enjoyed the fights, unless it was simply sparring.

But, aiming for their knuckles? That could go wrong, easily. I guess it would work in a high school situation.

My grasp of the english language is weakening. This is bad, since I don't even know my native tongue that much.

WEAKENING? Given you use it that much here at least, I would think it'd be strengthening. Also, what is your native language? I'd assume Tagalog.

Would be, but I'm a Visayan, the Philippine equivalent of Osaka, I guess? (In the sense of language)

So yeah, I speak Visayan.

Oh and for the record, I absolutely loathe Tagalog, if only because I can't speak it well.

Well, given I don't really count 'being australian' as belonging to any particular ethnic group, i'd have to say I'm like the Dutch equivalent of Osaka (do you mean Okinawa?) being Frisian.
