Now that I have your attention, I'd like some opinions on a fight club that a friend and I are starting. We got the idea recently when we were purchasing some boxing gloves. It struck me like lightning, "Dude, we need to start a fight club." So now he and I have it in our heads to carry this through. Starting off we are going to recruit fighters in our circle of friends and later on, slowly gain new members. My friend posted a similar question to this one and no we are not 14 year old underweights trying to act macho. I myself am in it for the, fun, competition, and fitness that comes from boxing. But of course we'll allow more than conventional boxing, other styles and forms are acceptable. Also we will be concerned with safety as we will be wearing gloves and mouthgaurds, and will have a first aid kit on hand. After we get enough fighters we will train, have fights, and when everyone is ready we will have matches with spectators. Gambling will be allowed, but 10% goes to the club.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO INTENTIONALLY HURT EACH OTHER! plus we don't have to be refered to as an organization, we are a bunch of friends having friendly exhibition fights, therefore the law can't say crap, especially when it's in my garage on my private property.

For starters, it's illegal. Second, you are not likely EMTs or paramedics so what good is the first aid kit going to do? Third, how will you determine who can join based on what they are trained in? I have taken boxing at a local gym and can hold my own in a fight using it, but I am also a former Kempo instructor and hold a third degree black belt. If someone like that joins, you are in for a world of hurt. If you require only boxing I would be able to use boxing to get in and unleash a lot of pain in an actual match just for kicks (I personally wouldn't; but, I think you get the point). This is not a good idea for you unless you keep it limited to people you actually know, even then I would not recommend it.

I just saw that you would allow other forms! Do you really have any idea how much power a martial artist has? Seriously, not bragging, a martial artist in most forms can crush your chest with a single well placed kick. If you get someone trained in a more aggressive form like Shotokan or Ju Jitsu, you could be even worse off. Tournaments are regulated and controlled with professional medics on hand for accidents, and I have seen nasty ones. This is really not a good idea.

OK, fine, you mentioned gambling with 10% going to the club, which is illegal even in your garage, so the law can say crap.

Really? Well, I'll bet that "gay man" has a lot more "balls" than you do because even I was a lot tougher than you are at your age, despite my genitalia, because when I caught chickenpox at age 16 from my sister Daphne who was 7, I went EVERYDAY!!! I was a sophomore, so all I had to do was put on lots and lots of foundation! I wasn't ABOUT to let a few blisters stop me from exempting my finals (for good grades & attendance) and make me take the TAAS test a year later with those who failed it! My score was 2200 where you needed 1770 to exempt the college SAT, so I've never had to take anything but math placement tests for colllege! Shame on you, little boy, for worrying so much about getting the chickenpox! Haven't you ever had a cold in your life? Or are YOU the reason they say people whose names rhyme with virus (Iris & Cyrus) cannot get them? It certainly isn't because of my boyfriend and I since we both have colds now but HAVEN'T MISSED A DAY OF ANYTHING THIS WEEK!!! That's what it really means to be strong -- being THERE for those who feel a neeeeeeeeed to see you, those who wake up thinking, "I'm gonna see Name today!" and it gives them the courage to get out of bed! You don't need to be athletic to do that, you just gotta have spunk. And that doesn't mean worrying that you'll die of chickenpox!

I think it's illegal. First and second rule of fight club were don't talk about fight club, because of that.

THAT BEING SAID! An illegal fighting institution is dangerous not because the cops will bust you, but because someone can come in and screw up and kill someone and you can't really go to the cops. It's a sad sad world we live in.

Personally, I'd never partake in any organized fighting scenario if I wasn't allowed to use kendo.

Iris is right! I'll bet you're just scared cuz if he's anything like me, he can KICK YOUR BUTT!!! I got chickenpox over Spring Break in 4th cuz of my brother Darius in kindergarten, so all I gotta do to bring you to your knees is let go of a varicella virus (to which I'm immune due to infection) and show you who the REAL Cyrus the Virus is!!! And if you call me/my girlfriend that on the street, I feel sorry for you! I got a cold right now and so does she, so we're not in the mood for that kind of crap!

As far as your "wet fart" answer a few months back, I'll have you know it DOES NOT happen to "EVERYBODY WITH A LARGE INTESTINE!!!" Shame on you if it happens to you because ANYBODY WHO DOES IS NOT POTTY-TRAINED and should go back to diapers all day!!! Iris and I agree that it's a DISGRACE to mess your pants at 13-29 and that you should commit suicide in such a case! Texans have more pride for themselves than that, and if YOU don't at 17, poor you! I am 24 years old and haven't shat myself since gradeschool and neither has Iris! (Neither were pleasant childhood memories, so I shall not devulge anything about them to you.) I lose no sleep at night wondering if the skid marks in our underwear were caused by anything more than just not using baby wipes because I know the truth! We DO NOT have sharts and are not afraid of chickenpox, so nighty-nighty, little YOUNGER Cyrus! Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!
