I'm not usually the aggressor but if anyone deserves it it's obviously you and your piece o' avatar.

Let's be honest, it's also a minor miracle you made it past 6th grade.
Assume much?

I got punched once, by the weirdest kid in my grade school, the thing was he was probably 150 pounds and pretty solid as a 6th grader, I threw a football at his back so I could recover it like an onside kick and he walked over and punched me in the face and walked off, it didnt really hurt I was more confused/shocked that it had happened. Thats it though, now no one ****s with me because Im crazy

Yup. Stereotypes work well for weeding out the MA posers though in America if you get into a shouting match beforehand. If they are Asian and speak broken English, they are probably serious and might be able to do some damage due to their fighting background. Anybody else, and you're probably good 99% of the time testing their claim out. The guys that get a Groupon for a 5 lesson Karate Kid experience or something and then think they can fight are always going to get worked. They were better off when they knew they couldn't fight.
Truth.
I lifted a lot out of highschool. I'm a small dude but at this point I could bench twice my weight, etc. One day, all pumped up heading from the gym to work, this old bully from highschool cut me off and got pissed at how close I got to his bumper, so he followed me to work to pick a fight. I was out of my car and just starting to change my shirt into work stinks when he pulled up and started to get out while cussing at me. I finished taking off my shirt, turned and said "what?". He couldn't get in his car and get out of there quick enough. Dude had at least five inches on me and well over thirty pounds, and would have easily kicked my *** if he could get it done before wearing out (since I would not have). But that's the way most these tough guys are.
Then again, I also know genuine amateur MMA badasses. They never want to fight on the street, and have a couple tricks to scare off the wannabes to avoid busting a few hand bones on them. If they're gonna hit you then they're gonna do it before you know what happened.
