Should I be nervous about fighting?

Question

I've never fist fought before,n I seem scared to get hit. I used to flinch a lot but now I don't flinch anymore,idk if I would be able to kick butt in a fight. School is about to begin n I know I'm going to get into a few fights this year with former friends of mine who turned on me n ran their mouths. What should I do to be less nervous about fighting?

Answer 1

As a person who was bullied and resorted to taking up boxing to eliminate the bullies i can offer you this advice,

People used to say to me stand up to them, this i couldnt see possible as they were physically huge compared to me, but to you I say get fit, first of all your confidence grows plus the bullies will visually see you get fitter and if they know your boxing training they will think twice, do a little weights on your shoulders and chest to visually show others your making a difference,

Be strong and think fast - you'll last

Answer 2

I don't want to give you any wrong advice or encourage you to fight (i hope that you don't. i would just ignore them if i were you).

   But honestly, i think that if you don't want to be nervous when it comes to fighting, you must have some kind of experience in fist fighting (that doesnt mean you had to win; just experience) in order to not be so nervous. You'd already know how it's like to be in a fight and you learn and become confident to know how to defend yourself. That's why boxers are always fighting in gyms before they go out in the ring. It's just experience.  

Answer 3

First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your friends.

Secondly, i do suggest you avoid the fights, unless they are totally asking for it, but try not to provoke any.

Personally, i would be a bit nervous.

However, when my boyfriend got into a fight, he wasn't worried the least bit, because he has trained in different martial arts.

Anyway, yes it makes sense to be nervous, but something that should be comforting is that even if you aren't doing so well, if you're at school, someone would break you guys up, so i doubt that there could be EXTREME damage, unless of course they guys are fiesty little snots.

Well, good luck!  and block with the outer hand, jab right cross left!

dont be nervous if u get into a fight try to intimidate the otha person so he'll feel nervous but, i dont know if u can take a punch if u can try to defend urself bob and weave or if ur bigger takle them to the ground and hit em in the face til they quit

Answer 5

Avoid it if you can. If you cant then you must do what you gotta do.  Dont throw the first punch, watch where theirs is comming from and duck and hit them then. A low blow could end the fight sooner, and show them you can hurt them even worst than they can hurt you. Stay ahead of their moves and dont get hit.  Also you may need to look around and see if others are waiting for an opening to jump you.

Dont fight , but dont run away.  Try to solve it before it gets to that point.

The best way to ensure that they wont fight you is for you to keep them as close as you can to you. You dont have to talk to them , just stay close to them and let them know you are there and they may speak first. Just dont avoid them , just the fight.
