Also add in how they stand, where their hands are, how they choose distance, mood (are they zoning in or letting the excitement get to them), do they raise their shoulders and tuck their chin, do they throw bait to gauge your reaction....

There are a lot of signs that this may be just another day at the office for them.
Eat in a deficit to lose weight.
Hit your protein and fat minimums to stay healthy and keep your gainz.
Lift heavy and do HIIT to look and feel awesome.
Use the internet to learn why you should do these things and how to do these things.

You like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and croquet. You can’t swim, you can’t dance, and you don’t know karate. Face it. You’re never gonna make it.

Having everyone do combat sports sort of defeats the purpose.

I did boxing as a hobby all throughout my 20s. But that's because I was a huge boxing and MMA fan. It was for my enjoyment and self-improvement and not to try to become a tough guy or learn self-defense. Honestly, I don't think it's for everyone. Most of the people who start usually quit within a month or two.

I do agree though that it's pinnacle of manly activity. Certainly more so than simply picking up weights and putting them back down, which is why I'm doing that now that I'm in my 30s instead of boxing. It's a lot easier.

I know I would never send my kids to do that kind of stuff when their brains are still forming. Minimal or no contact sports are the way. I don't want my kids to have future problems down the road. It is scary srs.
The danger of concussions are fairly low unless you're actually competing, which isn't a necessity if you're just doing it as a hobby. When sparring, you're wearing 16 oz gloves, headgear, and mouthguard and you're not punching at full power. I've gotten roughed up and bloody but never got a concussion from sparring. Rugby is actually worse in many ways as you guys wear no protective gear.

I think it's strictly hate for OP, skinny twink trains a MMA. Said twink then feels the need to tell everyone or insuate that they're all knowing or some legitimate badass. It's comical and I know I personally like getting a reaction from them, both IRL and on forums, the medium doesn't matter.

I've got nothing but respect for humble guys that train and don't feel the need to share their epiphanies.

I also have nothing but respect for people who can fuking read and understand what they read. You seem to have had more concussions than me and all you do is lift things and pose.

You're only backtracking because people who read what I wrote understand the point I made. If you still try to argue about the fighting ability discrepancy between you and a trained fighter, which I dint even touch on in the OP, so ahead and go to a boxing/mma/muay thai gym, sign a waiver and ask to spar. Most of them will let you. But please record and post a video so we can all laugh

anyway the op is right anyway. if you're too scared to spar, then you can just try it for fitness/cardio. you'll still know how to properly punch, how to put your weight on your punches, defense while on offense etc.

Fight gyms exist to make money, so its in their best interest to make you feel comfortable and welcome. If they don't find another gym.

Fighters have been some of the most welcoming dudes I've come in contact with by the way, its not all meatheads and testosterone.

In fact, you'll see a lot less meathead idiocy than you do with lifters. Probably due to the lack of body dysmorphia and the confidence that comes from knowing how to handle oneself.

I grew up in Long Beach California. I lived in the hood for a long time and saw dudes get beat down constantly.

I was constantly in fights as a kid, got my lip busted, eyebrow split. Around age 13/14 I started boxing. Did it until about age 22/23 on and off. I never felt the need to fight once I started boxing. I don't have anything to prove, their are out there I can bang with and dudes i can't.

Hopefully I won't have a neccessity to fight on the street.

Bjj seems fun. Might try that

Go do it brah, everyone I've ever met in a fighting gym has been really nice. If someone acts up the trainers are gonna crack down on them hard.

You might end up on your ass a couple of times but no one is gonna be a dick to you. Plus it's fun as fuk.
Without the internet i feel like a small rock on the mountain.

Easily the dumbest thing i have read in this thread. I can agree with OP I think kids or even adults should learn basics ot defend themselves.
What is wrong with that? It should be a part of gym class instead of learning about volleyball or something spend 2 weeks or so on basic self defense.

I'm almost 30 and have never been in a confrontation outside of football/rugby. You don't need to know how to fight or how to shoot a gun, you just need to be smart about the situations you put yourself in. That being said, I love to shoot and would take up a class on fighting had I the time or location that offered one, but it's low on the to-do list when you have a family and you're not a teenager.

If you didn't need to know how to fight or learn how to shoot a gun we wouldn't need prisons

Regardless it's good cardio and can fix improper balances imo.

You can beat anyone's ass. You could suckerpunch someone with brass knuckles even if you are totally untrained. You could club him from behind with batton, if you really wanted to. You obviously can restrain yourself already.

Wrestled and Judo from middle school to end of Highschool, BJJ for a few years but I decided it was stupid expensive so I quit going.

I liked how I was a bit more limber and some of the things they taught me. I've never really been in a real fight after the age of 18 tho.

It's easier to just not be a drunk chithead and get along with people. Most people adults aren't gonna fight you over a disagreement unless you're on that poverty time I guess.

I used to train in kickboxing for a while and loved it. But I've moved to a new city and literally have no idea where I can train. Where would one even look for local clubs? (Ive asked around but no one I know is into it and Google only really shows PT sessions)
