high school kid problem

[Die]

at school i seem to have some problem with some kid, or more like he has a problem with me, and i've been ignoring it but now he's starting to get on my nerves and i know i'm a lot stronger than he is and probably have faster (reflex wise) than he because he's known to light up a doobie here or there. my main concern is actually fighting him because he's taller and i have braces and i don't want to get hit in the face because well i like the way my face is. so how do i put my strength to my advantage as well as reflexes? what are tips in making this a quick fight where i make my point that i'm not a pushover even though i'm smaller then most.

You have no reason to fight so don't..simple. If you were to fight you can't be a wuss he's a weed head but you do recognize he will punch you in teh face.

i really don't have much time because this is a matter of happening tomorrow or the day after so yeah... anyways, he's probably going to start the fight because he's been boasting to people that he doesnt like me, yet he has fear in his voice when he talks to my friends about it. i know he's going to try striking to my face so what are good counters to it?
also, if i get taken down, what are ways to reverse the situation?

Grab his groin, you may hurt him, if you are good you will freak him out or he will like it and you may have a new best friend

Sounds like your srewed to me. Just hit him sqare in the nose and then never stop till you are dragged off of him. And dont wait for him to hit you either. You are prolly going to get in trouble either way so as soon as you feel an immediate threat strike and never look back. Just keep going. Thats prolly not the best way to fight but it is the simples thing I can tell you in this short of time. Keep us posted on how the fight goes. But remember try to talk your way out of it first.

haha the funny thing is he's scared of me and he's talking his crap or whatever, yet when my friend who is friends with him called him over to talk and i was a few feet away, he wouldnt come. fear? maybe. anyways, i have been reading all around the boards and i think i'll wait for him to piss me off and then i'll use a line to throw him off/confuse him/make him think and then i'm going to hit him square in the nose with my right (i'm right handed) and give him a snap kick to the stomach. then take him down and hit him a few times and probably get off and leave. (i did karate when i was 5-7 and i'm known to have a powerful kick. i gave my friend a bruise on his arm for a week.) does this sound like a good game plan?

Not really. I recomend that you just stand there if he gets in your face just look at him with no fear in you voice and say "back up" if he dosnt and your threatened knee him in the balls and then start on the face. If you yell when you punch the teachers will come more quickly

it won't be at school so that problem is fixed so saying stuff to him is ok.

I know this is a forum on how to defend yourself but i'm getting kind of tired of highschool kids logging on and looking for advice on how to take out some punk in just a couple of days then telling us how they are superior in one aspect (faster/powerful kick) and then coming up with their own gameplan which they could not possibly follow as no one has any idea how the other person will react. If the dude gets in your face stand up like a man and take his shit. If he comes at you knee him in the balls. If later he comes to you and says you fight like a p@ssy because you kicked him in the balls just tell him that he was the real p@ssy because he was the one on his knees crying like a bitch with a much higher pitched voice and then kick him in the balls again. Plain and simple. Another thing to note that if he is high he might pull a drunken master routine or in his case a stoned master. He will be impervious to pain and will use techniques so confusing and outlandish that you will lose like that one dude with the glasses at the end of the Legend of the drunken master.

Confront him! You go after him.
Since you are stronger just go up to him grab him off his feet (preferably by the neck) and tell him to "Cut the Shit" and that you are not looking for trouble. At all times maintain eye contact.
If he tries to make a move, put him on the ground (you being on top) and punch his head repeatedly. Somebody will probably break it up, and he'll get the message.
It's happened to me back in Junior High School many moons ago.
He will probably piss himself!
After that you two can probably even become buddies! It's happened with me twice!

Exactly. Why would you need to fight? If you know something's gonna happen, tell the principal first (Yes, I know it sounds lame, but what other choice do you have?). Then if you do get into the fight (whether it's actually him starting the fight.. or you), just say you're defending yourself.

You know, you could always try telling someone at the school (a principal, teacher, etc) what is going on, or *gasps* even your parents/guardians. It may come down to you fighting anyway, but you should at least tell some other (adult) people what is going on, besides some strangers on a msg forum.

"line" like clothes line...like prowrestling...sigh. Look adacas is correct this forum should be concerned with MA. As a MA you have no reason to fight but you want to fight and in the same breath you talk about "ooooh what if he hits my pretty face with braces" again dude why fight to have no reason. since you are "so much stronger" and "faster reflex wise" and this guy is so terified of you why fight. It sounds like this can be resolved verbally. I am not saying to back down if he gets in your face, a good boxing combo that ends in a broken nose is always a quick way to generally end these type of school yard fights. But again, if you are going to fight especially knowing you could avoid it, don't cry about "oooh what if I get my favorite shirt ripped, or what if I get a bruise" that's fighting if you don't have the stomach for it play MA video games and leave the real stuff for people with heart.

In fact, this post is almost exactly the same as hand2hand's post about a bigger opponent. Which is maing me think DIE is HAND2HAND. So DIE if you are not H2H in split personality mode go to his post to read similar nonsense as you posted.
