A push/shove.

I think women start with a shove more often than a swing, probably due to social conditioning. On the few occasions I've gotten into it with a man, once a solid gut punch, the other times wild haymakers.

Never been in a fight since junior high, but the one fight I started was with a grab to the other guy's throat. Almost like a sucker punch, since he never saw it coming.

Jill, just out of curiosity, how many fights with women have you seen? Girl vs. girl fights are pretty rare (or so I thought). I've seen like 2 myself, and those once again were in school. The ones I've seen started with hair pulling.

I saw a fight in high school, where a woman clawed this guy in the chest with her long fake fingernails. It ripped his shirt down the front. He responded with an overhand punch to her face, making her bend forward, and then he kicked her in the head.

We didn't see him again after that incident.

They usually start witha hard right swing

[karatekid1975]

I'd say a sucker punch. The fights I seen/been in in high school were sucker punches. But when I was in a self defense situation, it was a head lock from behind.

I've been in a few. I think it's more common in cities than the 'burbs, maybe. And if you spend a lot of time in bars.

Usually the ol' sucker punch, I'd agree. It's the quickest and surest way to take a person down before he or she notices what's hit 'em.

Aye, but it works.

(The ol' sucker punch to the groin... as opposed to the boot to the groin)

Ladies and gentlemen (and you, too Seig) we have a good goddam answer here!

I agree with many of you about the first being the sucker/haymaker. And to this day, it is amazing at how often it works on people. We work on 1 steps and fighting combinations from haymakers and immediate response situations quite often, and that is a primary attack we "defend" from.

Having worked in a bar for many years, i have had just about everything from guns to hockey sticks pulled on me in the bar and in the parking lot. The first "punch" is usually the big right hand, however; practice defending against someone coming at you with the Push. That happens more then most people realize.

I think we had about a 25% of the fighting in the bars was women on women. Although exciting to watch, still must be broken up!
