The Street Fighter’s Official Rants

Sean Lee asked:


Mean and real fight clubs are no joke. Some may even say it’s just a myth but it’s really there and yes, some of them are dominated by fierce female fighters. In fact there are many real fight club pictures of female fighters in the internet as well as in DVD’s, mostly underground ones which are sought with so much of enthusiasm by fans.

In fact fierce pictures of female fighters contesting without any protection gear, kicking and bashing each other vigorously are becoming quite a craze especially after the movies like the Million Dollar Baby. Audience really crave for real fights that takes place almost anywhere, outside residential homes, backyards, garages, underground sites, anyplace where they can fight their hearts out. Well do not doubt all these, many are not simply staged fights, but real, ugly ones and female fighters are not just pulling each other’s hair and rolling around on padded rings. No, female fighters like those of the Extreme Chickfights: Kickin’ Ass and Taking Names are real ones, some of the fights even seem to put the fight clubs of men into shame. Check out these female fighter’s pictures; most have cut lips, well toned bodies, mean looking, swollen black eyes(which are not make up effects, but outcome of real fights).

The pictures of female fighters really characterize blood, beauty and lots of booty. In the internet, you will find an enormous array of female fighters bashing each other like crazy. These real female fight club pictures that one gets are usually from the world of underground fight clubs, and its one place where all sorts of fighters assemble. Starting from the office executives to bored housewives, everyday street fighters, teenagers and so on.

These entire females search out where the next event’s goanna take place and when their turn comes for the fight, give everything they got into it. Mean trash talking and fierce competition and domination is aplenty in the pictures. All these are caught clearly live on videos.

One can get all of these real female fights through the Demolition Pictures, an all-girl production company and also the only one distributing real Extreme Chick Fights. So if you want to get a glimpse of the fierce world of female fighters club, get hold of their pictures. They are indeed quite raw and yep, the content is definitely 100% real.

All these footages of female fight clubs are at times very graphic too, not to be viewed by the faint hearted. Their fights are in such a way that the fighter’s themselves don’t know whom they will be fighting with. In fact there are pictures of even a mother and her daughter giving each other the beat down and sisters kicking each other like mad. Gruesome! These are all run by women and rules set by women. It clearly portrays the female’s world where men cannot dictate them at all. Leaving everything aside, they become a different being altogether in the ring, fighting with so much of passion that really strikes the audience.

Clint Jhonson asked:


You will find many street fighting tips on the best manner preferred in circumstances where the feeling tells you that you could avoid the combat. Now consider how frequently you practice your street fighting training with a view on the possibility of stay away from the actual conflict. Most probably, your efforts in this direction focus on what is preferable to say in such situations.

It is truly essential to “access” a routine out of expressing in words your objective and caution. You may have already heard in street combat simulations or real-life situations people that yell rapidly things like “help me” or “just don’t harm me”. If you have ever witnessed a street fighting scene, can you remember what you saw? In all probability, you will first call to your memory what you heard, and not what you saw, because people DO talk in street combat situations.

Well, “talk” may be a big word to describe the situation. However, they do articulate words. Generally, the phrases used are brief – their objective is to be to the point. No one engaged in a street combat could hold a speech in front of his or her attackers. However, you should take for serious those street fighting tips that concern short phrases to say to the aggressors.

Such phrases will additionally emphasize that your intention was merely to protect yourself – I mean, phrases like “don’t hurt me” or “help”. While you are during your street fighting practice, try to imagine a situation in which the replies exchanged are threats and justifications in defense. Of course, the best street fighting tips will also let you know what you can say that should work as a threat. However, in those street fighting circumstances in which you sense that a word or two, said at the right moment, with the right tone, could work miracles, you should pick those street fighting tips that concern precisely such phrases.

Verbal threats are powerful. They serve as tools to stimulate emotional reactions. Later on, emotional reactions translate in the physical conflict; but if you can find those replies that can hit the button of aggressor retreat, you can avoid street combat and be better off – unless you are the one who has triggered the entire situation, of course. Regularly, verbal exchanges that could prevent street fighting relate to things such as “look, I’m not looking for trouble”, “I don’t want trouble”, “sorry, guys, I really gotta go”, “leave me alone”, or “keep your distance.”

Street fight can also be prevented with the intimidation of the aggressor(s) by means of quick commands that leave room for no doubt as to your intent. Such commands are “back off” or “stop” or “stop it.” Accompanied by the right fight stance, such phrases will reinforce your position. If you have started with “I’m sorry, I am looking for no trouble” and then you see that the attacker has no intent whatsoever of leaving you alone, you can try intensifying your attitude by including some form of insult in your commands. For instance, a phrase like “would you back the fuck off?” may work with certain attackers. The entire point is to avoid physical harm – and then, if you see that words have no effect, you can set your street fight skills in motion and retaliate correspondingly.

Iprwire Staff Writer asked:


To many the term submission fighting sounds like something that you would not want to take part in, but many are learning that submission fighting can be a great sport to learn. This type of fight training can literally change the way you look at life. It’s challenging, and getting good takes practice. You’ll get a great workout with this type of physical activity. While this is not a sport that just anyone would want to take up, many people find it very interesting, life altering, and of course fun to learn.

If you want to challenge yourself to learn submission fighting, you will find that even if you are in great shape you will be tired and sore when you first start training. Most people do not realize it, but this type of fighting requires that your whole body is fit, not just your legs, arms, or chest. This style of fighting will give you a core workout, a cardio workout, you’ll notice changes coming quite quickly. Most people that are involved in this sport report losing weight, gaining lean muscle mass, and over time they develop more stamina and energy to do all of the things that they love, not just sparring and training.

It can be difficult to get into submission fighting and do it safely because so many of the classes and coaches out there are not on the up and up. Before you start with any school or instructor, you should be sure that they are certified and are true professionals. You can get hurt and you can hurt other people accidentally if you are not taught properly. This style of fighting is all about control and maximum effect with minimum effort. These things can be taught, but they have to be taught appropriately. Some people find schools that have programs locally but soon find that they just cannot make it to the classes often enough to make it worth paying for them. Luckily, online fight classes are becoming quite popular. Through the Internet you can learn all of the same techniques that you would learn in the classroom, but given the knowledge you can now learn and practice where and when it is convenient for you.

Dora Theodore asked:


More Than Just A Fight: No Ropes And No Where To Hide

You know, I used to think I was pretty handy at looking after myself. I’m a brown belt in karate, and I take my black belt grading later this year. I know I’m not Superman, but I’d like to think I could handle myself if I got into a scrape. Then I went to a mixed martial arts contest and saw these guys do san shou kickboxing, and I felt like giving up there and then. These guys are phenomenal!

In case you don’t know, this is kickboxing taken to the next level: seriously, these guys know no fear! I have a buddy who practices Muay Thai, and I told him about what I saw, and he said that he’d be wary about taking on someone that’s been trained in san shou. If you can imagine taking all the best bits of Chinese freestyle fighting, so you can use kicks, punches, throws, you name it, then times it by ten, and you might be getting close.

So, like I said, I was knocked out (no pun intended!) by what the san shou fighters could do, so I decided to do a little digging. And what I found out just blew me away no wonder I was impressed at the show. This particular martial art has been practiced for 2000 years, and pretty much allows any kind of combat going. I already told you that they mix in Chinese freestyle; you can add submission wrestling and ground fighting to that scary list! If you think the UFC guys are tough, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

What really surprised me is how popular the sport is. I’d never heard of it before, never mind seen a bout. But now that I know what it is, I can see why the likes of ESPN carry it on pay-per-view, as this type of fighting is more exciting than any I’ve seen so far. The rules are pretty simple, too, so it’s easy to follow for any newcomer. And yes, I include myself there!

Fighting in a ring similar to any other martial arts ring, bouts are won by either throwing or pushing your opponent out the ring, or in the more vicious bouts in China, by knocking your opponent out with elbow strikes or knee strikes. Because there are no ropes and they fight often on a raised ring, this makes for some heavy-duty knockouts and that’s why I’ve fallen in love with it. There’s no sparring here these guys are seriously trying to knock each other spark out! This is true, full contact fighting at its best, and probably one of the best systems being taught today.

Don’t believe me? Think about this then in an annual competition between Chinese san shou kickboxers and American kickboxers, the competition (if you could call it that!) had to be stopped since the Americans were getting their butts kicked literally! In the last competition, the san shou guys won all four fights. Not bad for a little-known discipline, huh?

So yeah, like I was saying. I thought I was pretty good. And maybe at karate, I am. But now I know that’s not the be all and end all it might be a little bit late, but I’m taking up san shou. Then I might give my kickboxing buddy a little surprise or two

Sean Lee asked:


These days its hardly surprising to find oneself having to fight strangers in the streets. So one really have to learn some tricks to win the fights in any way that you can, otherwise you wil surely be left with some black eye, dislocated wrists, and also concussion.

Like always best solution to win a street fight is to avoid one. It will be great if a dispute is resolved without any brawls and yes, better not let your treacherous ego cloud your common sense. In violent confrontations, make sure to be neutral and calm; apologize, even if its not your fault or the opponent is a regular no gooder and yes, do so in a confident manner. If he persists, clearly tell him to back off. Never let your opponent get near you and don’t be a fool and let him hit you first. As he nears, change your stance in a fighting position and just slam your outstretched open hand into his face. This is a great tactic to disorient the opponent. Well if you have to punch, keep your hand, wrist, and two largest in a straight line, and punch with those two knuckles as hard and fast as possible. Follow this with swift kicks to the knees or groin areas. However unless you are a good puncher, better not pound unnecessarily.

Best tactic is non punch hand strikes and palm strikes against the side of the head and neck. Also low kicks aimed at shins, ankles, the insides of calves is very effective. And yep, all those scratching, biting, clawing, spitting, hair pulling hair are good too. Remember you are in a street fight and that too with a rowdy aggressor, so don’t think about rules, just think about your safety.

Know your limit too. Alone and fighters ganging up on you? Well run! Its not cowardice, its safety actually. A winner always knows when to quit.

Also always keep at a distance from your opponent, say about twice the arm’s length. Experts opine that staying close limits your opponent’s ability to land painful punches. As a matter of fact, keep on the opponents side and not directly in front of him. Also those involved in street fights with more than one opponent, make sure to move in such a way as to keep them in each other’s way. Staying between them is fatal!

Make sure to attack any vulnerable spot. Also just blocking an opponent with your arms or legs leaves the rest of your body in the way. And yes, punches and hits in the face, throat, temples will incapacitate your opponent making them blury and howling in pain, and disorientated for sometime, enough seconds for you to make an exit.

When involved in these street fights, unless you are a mean fighter, you will be punched to a pulp. So the best tip to win the fight is to impede your opponents as much as possible, use sand, dirt, mace, or other sprays on the eyes, thereby you can run. Fighting should be the last resort, and if you can talk your way out of a fight that’s one real winner too.

Sean Lee asked:


When one thinks of the fight clubs, the picture that automatically comes to mind is of well maintained, strong willed fighters, giving everything they can into the fights even at the cost of their own lives. Well despite all the laws and precautions, there are some real fight clubs in secret locations where people from all sorts of life gather to witness these grueling competitions. Anyways the focus is that, not all fight clubs are of this fearsome type and for some it really disillusions them when they come across phony, overrated guys who think beating each other makes them tough guys. Well the secret is, one would hardly find tough club fighters pounding each other with toilet seats or is that how the fight club really operates?

Well the message behind this view is that many of the so called fight clubs are simply playful ones, more like an entertainment! Simply actors. Indeed there are the fight clubs formed by teenage boys, wanting to feel macho and tough like they see in movies. They may form a band of fight groups, challenging one another in fights that are not too destructive and most are just playful stuffs. Maybe these are in a way harmless too. But what about the grown up adults having secure jobs and stature pounding each other just for the sake of it. Actually there are many of this type of fight club that is more or less a sad version of the real fight clubs.

Anyhow, the real secrets behind joining one fight club or another lies on the individual themselves. Somehow being a member of the fight club seems to give them a sense of toughness. Well some may dispute this but yes, for some all these are simply pleasures to be involved, maybe like a hobby?

When we hear of fight clubs, we simply think of tough men and women giving everything that they have into the fights, and it’s often a very bloody affair. However one secret behind all of the so called fight clubs is not really toughness and integrity. It’s somewhat funny. Just imagine, to make yourself tougher, wearing a fencing mask and whaling away with frying pans and tennis rackets is not toughness. Or is it? It’s childish!

Maybe the notion that fight club fighters are rough and tumble beings, ready to do anything really attracts the guys. Another secret maybe that they love to hear people say “you did WHAT? Man that’s something!” reaction and they feel so great!

Well another reason why not all fight clubs are that attractive and remarkable; you see the so called fight club is used as a way to direct and defuse frustrations in their life, work etc and take it out on something else. It also works as a therapy for some! But hey, pounding each other to a pulp doesn’t sound a great impulse and yes, many uses fight clubs to channel their personal frustration into the fights. As such not many find these fight clubs to be beneficial; it’s more of an entertainment but then the fighters, the REAL ones, are good.

Jc Coll asked:


One of the most difficult obstacles in any relationship is getting through the tension that often lingers after a big fight. This is especially true if the fight went to a personal level and things were said that cannot easily be forgotten.

Some couples can end up separating because they don’t know how to make up after a fight that left some emotional bruising. It is rather simple to figure out how to make up after a fight about minor things or little spats. Yet how to make up after a fight that involved extremely hurtful words is another story. These fights often reveal truths that are hard to accept. One or both people are likely to have lingering resentment which will prevent moving on without some resolution.

You must learn how to make up after a fight in a new way. Both people must feel their pain has been heard, understood, and respected by the other. You can find a couple’s counselor, or you can work together to get past it on your own.

1. Now is the time to tell your loved one that you want to try a new method of how to make up after a fight, so things can be better between you. The longer you allow the tension to grow, the harder it will be to get over it. Do it now.

2. Separate for a short period. This can be a half hour or overnight, whatever fits your relationship. During this time, you each write down the ending to one sentence: This is what I need from you in order to move on… This should lead into a short writing of what you each feel and need at this point.

 3. Come back together and take turns reading out loud. You must make eye contact with one another and you do not comment on one another’s words until after you both have been heard. If you feel you cannot sit silent while they speak, then simply walk out and return when you feel calm enough to do so. The point is to really listen to one another. Now the door is open for you to talk about how to meet these needs and move on with your life. How to make up after a fight is not that difficult, but you both have to feel your emotions have been heard and the other person knows and respects your feelings.

Chuck Barr, Ma, Lpc asked:


Conflict is present in all intimate relationships. Whether conflict is resolved constructively or acted out destructively is what determines its impact on the relationship. The following suggestions are designed to help couples resolve conflict by teaching them how to fight fairly.

• Create a "circuit breaker" that will prevent fights from escalating out of control. Establish a special code word (e.g. "time-out!") that signals a "cease fire." Even a comical word can break the cycle of tension. If you feel out of control, you will probably need to temporarily remove yourself from the situation. If so, make a definite time and place to continue the conversation.

• Avoid "letting it all hang out." Tragically, cruel statements made in the heat of battle tend to be long remembered and seldom forgiven. Anger research demonstrates that venting aggression doesn’t resolve anger, but merely rehearses it. Repetitive explosions in the service of "telling it like it is" may push partners even further away and rarely alter the circumstances that are making one feel angry in the first place.

• Identify the feelings underlying your anger. Anger often functions as a protective shield against feelings that are more difficult to express, such as sadness, powerlessness or a fear of intimacy.

• Avoid the tendency to chronically complain. Many couples seem unable to distinguish between ordinary life events and issues that really matter. Before complaining, reflect on questions such as: "Is my partner’s behavior really bad for our relationship?" This allows one to see the Big Picture rather than the Little Behavior.

• Cultivate an attitude of respect. The word respect is derived from respicere, a Greek word which means "the willingness to look again." Our willingness to see our partners as human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity and kindness is basic to a healthy relationship. Without this respect, a healthy relationship isn’t possible.

• Change yourself and your relationship will change. Most power struggles are rooted in trying to get someone else to change. This battle usually becomes the biggest obstacle to change and healing. As an experiment, focus on what you can do differently instead of on what you feel your partner "should" be doing.

• Remember that timing is everything. Many destructive fights occur when one partner feels "ambushed." Before unloading on your partner, try an approach such as: "Something has come up for me - is now a good time to talk about it?" This can create an appropriate context for dialogue at a time when you are both open to it.

• Beware of the ABC’s inherent in most arguments - Accusation, Blame, and Coercion. Consider changing your focus from asking "Who’s to blame here?" to "How do we get on the same team?" Speak about your experience and feelings. For example: "I feel upset that you criticized me in front of your family." "I" statements promote self-responsibility and avoid the blaming quality of "You!" statements.

• While your partner is talking listen as non-defensively as you can. If you’re already preparing your rebuttal in your head, you aren’t really listening.

• Be willing to acknowledge and validate your partner’s feelings. Many times in couples work, this is the point where one spouse turns to me and says: "But I don’t agree with what she’s saying!" Validating your partner doesn’t mean that they are right, or that you agree with them. It simply means that you are demonstrating your willingness to understand. Use reflective listening statements such as: "Let me see if I understand you - I hear you saying that…." This will allow your partner to feel heard and ensures that you understand, rather than assume, what is being shared.

• Avoid trying to fix the problem immediately. Make sure both of you fully understand the issue before attempting a "quick fix." Communication is a process that takes time.

• Ask clearly and directly for what you want - and wait! Individuals who are not experienced in assertive communication have a tendency to prematurely "erase" their request - "Oh, forget it - I knew it was too much to ask." Give your partner time to internally process the request, even if it means coming back to it in a few days. You then have a better chance of reaching a lasting agreement that will work for both of you. It would be naïve to suggest that these skills will be mastered by reading one article - it takes practice. However, making a positive intention to "fight fairly" and then taking a simple step, such as creating a weekly couples meeting, can lead to immediate improvement. Finally, if you find yourself getting stuck, consider seeking short-term help from a counselor with specific expertise in couples’s communication and conflict resolution. Great relationships are worth fighting for.

Bobby Brister asked:


Father Edward Sorin founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac in 1842. The university originally was catered to male students; it only opened its doors to female students in 1972. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart - the university church - is one of the distinct architectural creations on the campus.

Notre Dame is also the home of one of college football’s most unique teams: the Fighting Irish. This is a rare independent football team in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. Unlike regular conference teams, the Fighting Irish do not have scheduled games with other teams.

Although this is the case, they have a remarkable football records compared to other NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. They have the most FBS National Football Championships, having won 11 consensus national championships, and some say 13. However, the university did not recognize the years when the Associated Press and coaches did not both rank them Number One. They trail just behind the Michigan Wolverines in terms of winning percentage, they rank second in NCAA records.

Winning streaks are also an important part of Fighting Irish records. They are famous for putting an end to the winning streak of Oklahoma, as fans waved their Notre Dame merchandise. Aside from that, the team also holds a record for consecutive wins over one opponent, which they did against the US Naval Academy.

Notre Dame has produced many All-Americans. In addition to that, they rank number one in the number of athletes joining the National Football League in various nations.

The Fighting Irish have produced seven Heisman Trophy winners, one of only two college teams to do so. This is an award given in recognition to the most outstanding college football player in the United States. These players are (latest to the earliest): Tim Brown, John Huarte, Paul Hornung, Johnny Lattner, Leon Hart, Johnny Lujack, and Angelo Bertelli.

They also have forty-seven College Football Hall of Famers players and coaches combined.

Apart from that, Notre Dame also took part in most historic games in football. Many sports historian rated their game with Ohio State as the Game of the Century in 1935. The Associated Press also gave the same distinctions to their game against the United States Military Academy in 1946. In addition, they also have several memorable bowl games; one is the 1979 Chicken Soup game against the University of Houston. The name derived from the soup Joe Montana had consumed prior to leading his team to a comeback and winning the game.

The team also has various rival teams, including different levels of rivalries against other teams like USC and Michigan. Most of their rivalries are goal-oriented: Its rivalry with the University of Southern California has more to do with overtaking the other in the Heisman Trophy and earning team prestige. Their rivalry with the University of Michigan is the same; any team who is nearing the number one spot for the highest winning percentage would want to dethrone the leading team. This is what Notre Dame wants to do with Michigan.
