Martial arts prowess? Weaponry? Strong de-escalation skills? Fast feet?
I don't hold grudges. Let's vehemently argue today and casually have a beer together tomorrow.

I did do Aikido for years, but I haven't practiced it in probably just as long.

What am I fighting for is the first question?

Like I'm not getting into no fist fight with someone with a fragile masculinity or stupid shit like disrespect. As some think it's justified to get into a fight if you or your girl is disrespected.

Unless me or my girls life is being threatened, I'm not entertaining someone egging on a fist fight or stupid shit. I'm removing myself from the situation, and don't care what the other party calls me. You aren't masculine throwing fist just because you feel disrespected.

Now if I'm literally left with no choice to fight because another party initiated a fist fight, well then I guess I have to fight back.

do everything i can do avoid the fight because fighting is for small brained individuals.
I hope something good happens to you today

De-escalation, I guess? I'm no champion boxer or anything but I can take and throw a punch if I have to.

Some hot-headed tough guy doesn't like the way you glanced at him, and is now getting all up in your face swearing like a sailor. Eventually he starts pushing & shoving you...

I've had a lot of training so I'll just get in stance, and respond accordingly.

Honestly just get into my boxing stance and boxing him. Most street fighters/street fighters are amateurs going for head 95% of the time with the other 5% going for the tackle.

Getting in my face and shoving me alone isn't enough for me to go get into some fight.

It would really depend how it played out. Like what is this man yelling... is it life threatening? Also is it one shove and done, or are we talking continuous shoving? Also how hard is the shoving... are we talking a shove that could be quite harmful (especially off guard) or a light shove?

It all depends ofc, but the only thing I'm saying is I'm not protecting some false sense of masculinity to get into every fist fight that someone eggs on. Depending on how things spiral, and WHY it's spiraling to begin with my aim is to only fight if I feel I really have to defend me or my family's life.

By life, I mean their actual life, not their silly masculinity, pride, or respect. I also make it very clear to family and friends don't go starting shit thinking you have back up.

Besides running the fuck away, not really. I'd be pretty screwed if somebody wanted to beat me up...
