Not being contrary but regardless of training an 85 lb female could never hurt me. That doesn’t include dating my bf after a break up.

Agree. That and the propensity these days for guys to bring guns or knives to a fist fight.
P.S. One serious and important thing I did learn that day! The bartender's punches appeared to be in slow motion. From that day forward I totally understood how/why drunk driving accidents happen!

I started training at this guy' gym a month ago. Everyone is right, it is hard to tell if a young, small guy is trained in MMA, KB, or BJJ, if so, easy to underestimate and then you are toast. These guys are lethal and can easily look unassuming. I am doing kickboxing / Muy Thai only, no MMA for me at my age, but a lot of respect for these guys who have competency in any or all of these disciplines.

The other thing I would add is that most of the guys that I encounter are the nicest guys. You would think it would be the opposite, hey why not be cocky, but they are all really nice and want to be helpful. Its like they are responsible human lethal weapons like most are responsible gun owners.

Better to have sensitive feelings and a lawyer, than sensitive feelings and a weapon.
It's just a different era. De-escalation is really the only sane way to handle conflict now.
Many years ago, I was asked by someone to help with security for a night at a nightclub that played live music. I told the person no thanks after one night of helping. Within a month, there was a deadly shooting at the place. Two guys got into a fight over... wait for it...a female. The guy who got whooped was P.O.'d, so he went to his trunk, tried to gain re-entry, and when he couldn't he shot over the security. He missed his intended target, but shot and killed the bass player of the band. Tragic. To add to the misery, the bass player played for his church, but took the gig to pay-off bills related to being a new father.
Yes the club set up was beyond stupid. No club should ever have a full view of the place from the front door. That is why I didn't want to help anymore. The only good thing that came out of it at that time was clubs/ bars re-evaluated their entry points.
Side note: I literally had an assistant football coach named Randy Boucher. I wish that the movie "Waterboy" had been out then. Yes, he was a strong Southern Guy!
I think this threads about run its course. Some jackwad opened his mouth initially, and either he or someone else had their ass kicked in. It happens every day. Doesn’t matter if it was an MMA fighter, a Kung fu master, a champion wrestler or a mean bastard that you couldn’t keep down with a sledgehammer. I bet that piss hole of a bar has already had at least one more brawl since this was posted. Let’s move on to finding videos of more interesting events like a stabbing or random gun fire. The guy who blew himself on the gender reveal is a step in the right direction. God bless America 🇺🇸.
I’m 100% sure but no offense. A little background, the rick me is a dad kwon do brown belt.
