how PL can help better in real life than BB, true experience...

[powerlifterjay]

Ya know to defend the peopel who ...i will say not as aggresive as some of us here. Your right ..technically. Fighting is wrong, and yes it can lead to jail or physical disabilities (especially if you tangle with me) LOL Jusy kiddin! Anyway but i knwo Cubanito , he is young and growing , and aggresive. Its things liek this that make you grow up and the build memories. I cant count the asses i kicked at his age. Shit i beat up 3 people last year and i am 27. Point is its where your from and your surroundings. I live in Florida and i grew up very similiar. Shit he lives in Miami! Ya'll been to miami? No offense cubanito, but i woudl not live there. Here let me switch thsi up for you guys that oppose his thread. Your with your friends, and your ex shows up with a cocky ass new guy who basically tries you in front of your boys? And your 16yr old. It aint about the girl, its about respect. No matter what we support his crazy lil ass! He is family.

Ironmaiden181 thank you for your comment.

I feel like this is a very positve board and you said it the exact way it is. We are family, and this board truly is made up of new and experinced powerlifters who compete. When someone posts something we dont agree with it we may nicely give our view, but dont flame em. But You come one here loud and disrespectful....well look at SSAlexSS Thread they now have locks on them.

If you dont like a thread and the only response you can give is negative skip over it. If you must flame it.. be prepared.

By the way ironmaiden181 benches like mid 300's. She is bench freak just like her old man! Glad to have the both of you here.

Luke like told others if you don't agree with my post then don't reply to it bro, I have peeps on here that I've met and we stil talk not just about PL but also about our lives, wow it's really funny how u tell me shit b/c u think i'm some punk rap 17 year old but others on here that don't talk about PL you don't say jack shit too them, well for my 17 year old ass i back up everything I talk.
ZZulu dude maybe it is diff here, but I don't care what happens people talk shit about me i'm gonna fuckin defend myself I mean i don't just lift to push big weights in the gym and not use it anywhere else i'm gonna see what this force can do on someones face.
maiden i'm just talkin wit family like someone else said on here these guys(some) are like family with them and since i'm one of the younger ones i'm like the lil brother of the group so it's all good.
PLJAY bro thanks once again for backin up my shit, like always when it has to be that way. And I live in stuart now but i lived in miami for 13 years born and raised there and sometime i stil think i represent miami and that only i hate this lil town it sucks.


But guys new news i recieved in school today shit's not over yet, it turns out that that same night they ended up coming back and my friends herd my ex and that kid talkin and they were sayin, the kid that I was a pussy and my ex said " why do u think i broke up wit him, b/c he's a pussy" so this kid calls my cell today sayin that he's gonna fuck me up bad this fri. So I can't wait for a fuckin rematch this time i'm not gonna let the kid get up and just leave him laying there and before I fight him i'm gonna have one of my boyz search him for a knife or gun b/c the way he was talkin and i know he'll take a cheap shot wit a knife at me as long as he gets payback. This kid is one hell of a fuckin loser. and is going down, for good this time.

Any advice on what I should do to prepare for this fight b/c i really want him to remember me, by that i mean i gave him a GOOD FUCKIN ASS WHOOOOPIN. I kinda figured it wasn't over by me just beatin his ass, but it's whatever wit me just like I told him

The best advice that can be given when dealing with fists is keep your punches short and straight. Be under control and don't get wild. 99% of the time when someone isn't experienced with fighting they throw wide, looping haymakers. Keep it short, straight and sweet! Don't be afraid to go to the body either. It is a much bigger target than the head and can be even more effective at taking someone out.

There are three rules to defeating an opponent:

#1 - Take a man's eyes; a man that can't see cannot fight effectively.

#2 - Take a man's feet; a man that is prone has no leverage and is an easy target.

#3 - Take a man's wind; a man that cannot breathe cannot fight.

Of course there are disciplines out there that can counteract some or all of these rules to an extent such as ju jitsu (sp?). Hope this helps. Remember, fists, elbows & knees are one thing but when weapons come into play it's time to swallow the pride and get the fuck out of there. Live to fight another day.

Here is my advice. Because this is what i would do. First off this time i would beat the shit ou tof him. As you get bigger and older, and stronger fights dont last as long. Next time were around each other ask Jimmie Dean about the last dudes ass i beat last fall. It was quick and brutal! That is what you gotta do. When he gets well he will not want a rematch. So with that said i would get his ass on Wed or thurs. If you think something is up, i would deal with it that way. Go find him on Wed let him get somewhere that you can deliver this to him. Dont make a long walk towards him but come at him from the front so he knows its you but make the walk to him say 5 ft or less. And even though i know how to grapple and box well, my boys know my style in bars or outside of them is called Hockey Style! That means punches right after one another till the bitch falls. Quick ass STRAIGHT punches. Hell i have even grabbed the shirt with one hand and pounded them out with the other. This way you can hold them up for a couple more shots. If they have a good chin or throw back just as well then we grapple, or ground and pound!

Remeber revenge is a dish that is best served cold. Meaning he isnt expecting a thing. He is no hot in the head at the moment of impact, but you are.

Dont let him call where and when its gonna be. Fuck having your boys around get one on one. and beat his ass! Your done when he is out. I hate seeing a fist fight end verbally. "YOU had enough"? Ya man! Thats not real life. Remeber thorw quick. In fighting speed is power!

Cubanito is in shape and does know how to fight, so this is more for others to read, but is out there for anyone.

In my humble opinion, after having been in over 1,000 ring fights if you include sparring, and between 50 and 60 real honest to goodness street fights, there are only a few things you need to know to win a fight, most of the time. If you tangle with Jay, Jimmiedean, Screwball, and some others on this board, you are on your own and this advice is moot.

Everyone has soft eyes.

Everyone has soft nuts.

Everyone needs to breathe.

Remember these things. Be aggressive. Don't talk shit. When it looks like things are going to get physical, don't hit back . . . Hit First!!! Talking wastes breath, and keeps you from getting the upper hand. Box a wrestler, and wrestle a boxer. Do what you are comfortable with, and what he is uncomfortable with.

I have broken my hands and feet too many times punching and kicking guys in the heads. I will not do that anymore. I am by nature and training a striker, but I have put knots on guys heads before and broken my hand. I won the battle, but a month later my hand still hurts, and his head is fine.

If you insist on punching and kicking, though. Use the Kick-Grab-Punch. This is the single most effective striking technique in existence, and I have used it in and out of the ring. It works every time. Kick at the guys nuts, stomack or knee with your right foot. Kick hard and try to make contact. But it does not matter whether you hit him or not. When his hands drop to block the kick (and they always will) then grab his hand with your left, hold on to it if you can, and punch him in the jaw or cheekbone over the top. Then just stay on him and keep after it until he has had enough.

I have rarely ever even needed the punch, but I am exceptionally fast and few people I have dealt with were in the mood to fight after getting their nuts smashed all to Hell. As an aside. I am a big fan of hitting people in the nuts. If you fight me, prepare for a nut shot. It is going to happen. I don't care if I have to double leg you, take you down and spread your knees apart with one hand to punch you with the other, I am hitting your nuts.

My 2 cents.

after reading my post i can admit i was a bit harsh. when i was 17 i thought along the same lines. regardless i have alot of respect for the vets on this board. this is by far the best powerlifting board on net. i have also been a doorman for 4 years and know fights at times cannot be avoided. just don't get around looking for them is all i am saying,luke

 

[Screwball]

I agree with you, Luke69. If you are constantly looking for a fight you will find one, and eventually you will come up on the losing end of things. It's best to just go with the flow whenever possible. If I was to get hurt in a fight and couldn't train, now that would truely be a loss for me.

It's nice to get to know as many board members as possible so that you can appreciate where they're coming from when they post. Cubanito is a teenager so he lives a teenager's life and his perspectives are those of a teenager. I appreciate his input because he's energetic, motivated and hungry to learn. His viewpoints are refreshing and they add a different mix to the board. If we all thought, trained and acted the same way there would be no reason for us to share with each other on this board. One of the main reasons this board is so successful, in my opinion, is that we have such a diverse group of people who all enjoy powerlifting.

 

[Cubanito17]

Its not that I can't fight that's why i'm asking for help i just wanted to see how people take their prospectives to fighting see I did TAEKWANDO from age 5 to 13 then did some amateur boxing for about 2 years and at 17 this year in november got real serious about powerlifting so I quit the rest of that stuff. Now about the fighting JAY good point I noticed that when i was watching old boxing matches it takes alot out of you to go for a hook shot or a strong right hand and then miss plus you leave yourself open for a kidney or side shot REALLY easy. The reason I want my boyz there is b/c this kid is known for dirty shit so i've thought about it all day and this is how it's gonna be one of his boyz(i know he doesn't travel alone) is gonna pat me down searchin for gun, knife, whatever then one of my boyz is gonna pat him down after that we fight. And as of now i'm gonna stop talkin bout how i'm gonna do him up but i will say one thing if this time he's quicker than me than straight fighting is gone I will be POWERCLEANING him and dropping him on his ass then get on him and keep punching till i see bruises and blood all over him. I will not kick him in the nuts Benchmonster b/c i don't wanna be suied or go to jail. And I will not take the first shot at him so i can if anything happens say i was fightin in self defense, i've thought this over too.

Luke we're straight glad u remembered when u were 17.

Jay I know this sounds really fuckin stupid but i'ma see if one of my friends maybe a girl can video tape this b/c i wanna see myself in action then maybe my next meet if we both do it i'll bring it up wit me and u can watch it and the rest of the crew can too. If i knew how to post it online i would.

Just my experience and believe me when it comes to fights and I bet I have had more experience than most on this board.

I remember a couple guys running their mouth and even though they were in the right, end up dead. I remember their moms having to be held up off the floor crying "I want my baby back." "Please not my baby." I can't remember all the guys telling me, "Then he just started shooting and I got hit in the XXXXX." I can't remember all the guys that have been charged with aggravated assault ( doesn't take much ) and now every time they deal with police or possible employers it comes up. I can't remember all the kids heads that get cracked when the police show up at fights.

Cubanito I am not putting you down just giving you something to think about. And while I am on my soap box I was raised in bronks and I am employed in a town that is always in the top 15 of dangerous cities. I do not say this to brag but to let you know I am not talking about something I know nothing about. You gave this guy 3 chances to kill you. One you let him get back in his car and stood their. You should have left as you were a sitting target. You showed up at a location he picked. You were a sitting duck if he wanted you. Then you let him leave ( Mind you this is 2x already ) to come back.

And just a senario. Someone talks crap, follows or approachs me I walk away as it is not worth it. Now imany would say, "What a bitch." But lets look at the big picture. What do I care what some asshole has to say? If he were to touch me I have been in so many fights, what is one more, but why would I want to go through the hassle. If I didn't want to fight him I could just gas him. He would be on the floor choking. But why do I want the hassle? And lets say it gets heated and he comes at me with something. I don't leave the house without my glock .40. But why do I want the hassle?

 

[Cubanito17]

SERG I understand what ur sayin. And I have a bigger point to think about this thing is going around our county now if from here to May 30,2002 somethin the least bit happens to one of us like gettin in trouble our diplomas for graduation will be held back 2 years so i'll have to wait two years to graduate. So here's what I plan on doing. I plan on going tomm night to the spring football game like I planned. Now when he see's me and comes up talkin shit i'm either gonna do one of two things not sure how i'm gonna react either tell him after I graduate i'll call him and we'll take care of this situation or tell him come get me after the game and i'll tell you and only you where to go and have him bring one friend and I bring one friend(my brother) so there will be a witness of what happened. And before I fight him we'll get patted down by the opposite friends so his friend pats me down and my lil bro pats him down. B/c I don't want to have the cops call my mom tomm night sayin "your son has been stabbed" or "your son is dead". that's the last thing I want. Look I understand the point all you guys see this from but i'm the type of guy that won't let someone talk an ounce of shit about me. And I just wish I woulda finished him off that night I don't mean kill him I mean give him more of an ass beating to remember. And I plan on doing this next time i fight him whenever that might be whether it's tomm night or next week.
