Is it important for a guy to know how to fight?

Answer 1

Knowing how to fight and defend ones self is important for men and women.

Keeping in good physical shape and knowing self defense techniques can be very helpful for anyone.

Knowing how to defend ones self does not make one invincible, but it does offer one a better fighting chance then not knowing.

If you do learn how to fight, please know that there is more to it than punching, kicking, grappling, wrestling, etc.

You also need to know how to use your wits and your mind, as well as how to avoid a fight in the first place.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Well, it's important for everybody, not just men, to know how to protect themselves. This doesn't necessarily entail fighting, but it is often a big part of it.

Staying healthy and being able to run and jump are also good skills to have, as a karate master once said; "You do not fight to win, you just fight not to lose". What this means is if you get out of the situation without being hurt then you've won. It doesn't matter whether you had to fight, talk your way out or run away. At the end of the day, you want to be around to see tomorrow and fighting isn't always the best way.

A good piece of advice is not to go anywhere where there's a high chance you'll get into a fight!

If sadly one day you are confronted by a nutter and there's no way out, knowing how to fight would be a good thing!

Answer 3

Now days its only important to fight if you plan on being a woman beater. No body fights out their problems with fists anymore, people shoot each other in disputes.
The only good fights I've even seen are in the movies,like Steven Segal even professional boxers can hardly fight. Its best to learn how to avoid unnecessary conflict and enjoy your life.

Answer 4

Why do people think there is never a reason to fight? What planet are you living on? If you are attacked, should you stand there and take it (depends on the circumstance, of course)? No. Learning how to defend yourself is a right, and it's part of knowing how to take care of yourself if you have to.

If the other guy knows how to fight, why shouldn't you?

Answer 5

It's important for a human to know how to fight! Physically, mentally, spiritually. I'm not leaving without one.

Answer 6

No, there's no reason guys should be fighting. There's better way to settle things, like words. Fighting is just a stupid way for guys to "prove their masculinity" and often fight for dumb reasons.

Over a girl- please, unless your with someone and she (or he) is getting attacked, don't bother, get someone new and move on or enjoy life single

To prove your masculinity- not even wasting my time on that, i know plenty of men who are real men (including myself) that don't need to lay a finger or act like a total jerk to be a man.

Unless its a sport (like boxing, mixed martial arts), a guy doesn't need to know how to fight. Both men and women should learn self defense, but not how to fight. People need to be civil with one another.

Answer 7

It doesn't have to be.

I've never been in a fight in my 42 years on this earth. Negotiating skills and the ability to run faster than the other guy are two skills that are vastly underrated.

Answer 8

Well... I guess it is to some point. But then again its not good because you get a big head and someone usually gets hurt. It also depends on what kinda fight you mean.

Answer 9

i would say so, so you can protect your girl.

To know how i believe is important. Just dont fight unless you have too, always avoid it when possible because it can cause a chain reaction of bad events.

Answer 10

First of all you must use peacefull means too resolve disputes, you must always try your hardest ,if that fails ,as always their are some fools you will just have to kick his *** even if you come off second best as the bullies will leave you alone if you stand up for yourself i guarantee it.
