Does anybody out there have any good stories on their experiences of self defense? Who had to use hand to hand or got in any kind of fight?
So far, I've been lucky that I haven't gotten into real life or death fights.

I have been fortunate thus far. Even at work, I haven't had too many scraps, yet. The ones I've been in on have included several officers, so it was pretty easy to control.

The fights I've been in are mostly alcoholic driven and pretty much why I come off second best every time. Should really learn to control my drinking.

Not been in any fights lately...

'Cept for trying to get my baby brother to wear his nappy. I'm regretting teaching him how to punch - he's two years old...

The vicious little swine!

I thought about teaching my baby brother some techniques off this site:

But I decided against it, he's not old enough...

Maybe when he's two and a half
