    Never thrown a punch, never really been in a fight but I have been punched in the chest a couple times. I go down instantly & lose my breath. I have a thin chest wall so hit me hard enough and it could send me into cardiac arrest. Thankfully that has never happened!
    As a measure of personal protection, I rarely go to bars on weekends.

    It wasn't a "fight" per say but in college a friend was drunk and annoying the neighbor girls. They had enough so the girls called some of their "friends". I was at the next house over when I see 6-7 huge dudes (pretty sure they were on the football team and at least 4 of them were pushing 300 lbs) come and try to start shit with my friend. I tried to talk everyone down/keep the peace, but the next thing I know I literally got tossed across the parking lot. Arms, back, legs were all bleeding. The guy that did it seemed like he wasn't satisfied with me being a human shot put, he came over me like he was going to kick the shit out of me but one of his other large friends stopped him. Thank fucking god!
    Moral of the story....if you try to stop a fight, there's about a 80% chance you're going to be involved somehow.

    I've thrown down a couple times, it isn't fun. I don't have much anger in me (plenty of annoyance though lol) so hitting some dumbass in the face hard enough to deter them from hitting me is a last resort.
    I learned to wrestle in middle school, and at my school people don't fight the wrestlers, couple that with a laid back personality and high school was no big problem.
    My wife and I had a lot of fun in high school so I wasn't trying to fight anything lol :dizzy:

    Yeah, I kind of wish there was a video of that. I'm curious how far off the ground and the overall distance I flew! hahahahaha

    If you are in the 10 club you are 85% more likely to have been hit than hit someone. :dizzy:
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.
