Street Fight Etiquette

Published by SJ under General

I only bring this up because I am not sure what is allowed and what it frowned upon. Is it an all open affair where you can use any weapon available or should we limit our selves to the good old knuckle?

I think glassing is terrible darts and if you do it you should be in quite a deal of trouble. But what happens if someone tries to glass you? Should you just stand there knuckles extended or are you in turn, allowed to pick up a glass and start stabbing?

What do you do if you suddenly find Bruce Lee’s twin brother coming at you with heel kicks and cartwheels like some sort of acrobat? Can I in turn sweep the leg Karate Kid style and go for an exposed knee?

In this day of cage fighting, a sport I will admit more than a passing fancy, can I defend myself with some shoot in wrestling tactics backed up by some good old fashioned ground and pound with elbows from all directions?

Hitting people when they have gone down?

Hitting them in a headlock?

Kicking them in the jubblies?

Hair pulling allowed (if your opponent has a stupid looking ponytail)?

Crying like a baby, waiting for them to turn around in disgust, hitting them in the back of the head and running like hell?

Waiting for the fight to blow over and attacking them later when they are not ready?

Sending your girlfriend in to fight for you?

Pissing your pants so they wont touch you?

Are any of these things considered, ok?

Should street fighting techniques and etiquette be taught in our schools to ensure that our kids are on the same level when it comes time for a good old dust up? Like the sex education that was forced down our throats, teach the kids something that can actually save lives. There will always be fights, it is just knowledge that can keep fights safe.

Let me know your thoughts.
