Fighting when drunk..

[Jiu-fu fighter]

another point..

It can be said that the mind goes slower when drunk, well that is pretty damn obvious, so fighting should be much harder,no?

I actually don't think so

why do you practice thousands and thousands of the same kicks and same punches? the reason is so it becomes very natural and instinctual,
sure when you are drunk your mind is not thinking quite as clear but if you have trained your body well it can react without your thinking about it.

when I was drunk I was instinctual fighting, there was no way in hell I was gonna pull off complicated aikido moves or throws, but basic instinctual moves came into play, my hands were up to my face to protect it, I was low to the ground making for better power and balance, I was mainly throwing straight palms for the face, and making flicks for the eyes( all simple non complicated effective moves) I was ready to grab onto the neck and pull the person close to me, go for a basic headlock..etc.. all of this I did not have to think about, I just let my body take over and my mind be completely out of it on the booze.

In a fight even when sobre, you do not have the time to think out your moves like it is a chess game, your body either reacts or it doesn't

Well here are some arguments for better fighting when drunk:

1) I am much more aggressive than when sobre
2) My whole body is completely relaxed, which makes for quicker movement, more flexibility....less tense.. can take a punch much easier and give one..etc.
3) Higher pain tolerance
4) sometimes quite unpredictable movement which can really unerve the guy you are fighting

and believe it or not, my balance does not go to hell when I am drunk.

also, if you consider the origens of drunken kung fu/ drunken boxing, look it up on wikipedia. so there must be some valid concept behind drunken fighting, but of course there are also the cons to fighting drunk, which I am sure many of you would be happy to list.

i do everything better when im high.

Hmm, its the complete opposite for me.

And fighting when youre drunk is so stupid. You have poor balance and judgment. If youre fighting while drunk, its usually over something so stupid, something that you could avoid if you were sober.

You think you fight better when youre drunk because youre more agressive? What you cant get even more aggressive when youre sober?

Cut down on the booze if you get aggressive on it. One day someone will put you in a hospital or a morgue.

also, thank god I got drunk after aikido class, my teacher would have killed me...

[Jiu-fu fighter]

Ok, I am still suffering from a hangover when I am writing this..

but last night I had way too much to drink, as in rum and vodka,

but apparently i was kicking ass last night, I went into a low stance with one leg in front the other back, my hands up to my face, going for strikes to the face and putting people into headlocks, thank god it was friends, but they were ready to kill me, but apparently I had scott ( a big ass guy taller and heavier than me cowering in the corner), the guys were afraid to sleep in the same room as me cause they thought I was going to kill them so they slept downstairs. all I can say is thank god I was away from the knives, cause when I am drunk I have no inhibitions and I have done knife fighting and I could have hurt somebody...

but just thought I would share this funny story with you guys

when I am drunk I get fucking aggresive

why is it that I fight better when i am drunk???!!
