Thought I'd share what happened when me and some friends were out partying a few weeks ago...
We were at a place drinking and having great fun. I noticed that a friend from the kickboxing gym (don't know him very well) tended to get into verbal confrontations with guys he bumped into. He had quite a lot to drink, and I wasn't very sober either.
Later we decided to leave the place. We were outside talking and waiting for all of us to gather.
Then I saw my friend was a bit away from us, talking to some guy. I could tell he had gotten into an argument.
I walked over there and asked my friend if he was getting into trouble again. They continued arguing over nothing and appearantly the other dude was doing thaiboxing. My friend had only been training kickboxing for a short while... he was probably in over his head. But still he initiated a fight, trying to headbutt the dude. It was a hit but not a hard one because the dude pulled his head back. The dude was not as drunk as my friend. After that the dude stepped forward, grapped my frinds neck and kneed him in the stomach, but it was probably blocked by his forarms. After that the dude gave him a half hearted left roundhouse that didn't do anything.
I was holding my friends jacket and I had just been watching, probably slow to react because of the alcohol.. but also because I thought my friend must take the consequences of his actions.
So they were both ready to fight now. I didn't have time to see more because at this point someone started to attack me from the side or from the back. Instinctively I got my guard up and rolled my shoulders up and actually used proper footwork to move from my attacker. I felt several blows, one of which hit my shoulder and would have knocked me out if I had not had my cover up.
I yelled that I was not in the fight, and through my guard I could see that my friend and the other dude were trying to punch eachother, and that there were more guys in their gang, and they were around my friend. One second later my friend was knocked out cold on the pavement. My attacker stopped throwing punches, and (dumb as I was) I let my guard down and didn't even look back at my attacker. Instead I walked over to my friend and tried to wake him. The dude and his friends left the scene, but threw a glass bottle that landed on the street one meter from me and my friend that was knocked out.
So that was the end of a great start to a great night out... police came and we took my friend to the hospital. He was alright.. just very drunk, and with a big swelling on his eyebrow. He had probably taken a hit to the jaw (light bruising there).
