In an earlier thread I asked about 'going to the ground'. Some of the replies were pretty interesting but something that sorta stood out to me was in how fighting situations developed; one guy mentioned road rage and slamming someone's door, another guy mentioned stepping outside and fighting fairly 'dirty', I guess.
The two examples I started with were pretty contrived to try to set up a situation but I'll admit that I'm not really sure how fights start in the first place
I'm a 35 year old man, a computer programmer and musician. Pretty laid back and pleasant, I think. I play at clubs, but not dives; people are usualy well behaved. I have five kids and I'm sometimes out with them, but not late at night. I've never been in a fight as an adult and I'll admit that I can't think of how one would develop unless someone else took offense to something I was doing and they'd probably have to be drunk and misunderstand me to do that. Or a random robbing/mugging or something. I'm not the kind to get drunk and cause trouble myself
I'll admit, I can't really think of a scenario of getting in a fight with someone who was lucid because of a developing situation between me and the other person.
So I'm curious, how do people end up in fights where they need to use MA/SD skills for survival?
