<2022-08-06T21:40:34.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I may have had a job where I got into frequent, legal physical altercations with angry Mexicans.  Overwhelming, sudden violence almost always beats any type of strategy. 
<2022-08-06T21:44:31.000Z> Nirty_Digger: I only had a handful of fist fights, grew up in a relatively safe area. But the few I won involved just rushing in on the guy. 
<2022-08-06T21:45:01.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: Marine Corps generally agrees, teach aggression first, technique second. 
<2022-08-06T21:46:59.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: Only time it will get you in trouble is against an experienced fighter who is just as aggressive, but e.g. knows how to shoot underneath you as you come in.  But in that case, you were fucked anyway.
<2022-08-06T21:50:12.000Z> Nirty_Digger: I had to practice against guys who were state placers in wrestling so I know what your talking about. Got thrown around quite a bit. 
<2022-08-06T22:13:33.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I've got 25-odd years of various martial arts, mil, and law enforcement, and I still have to watch out for skilled wrestlers when I train MMA.  It's not something I ever did a ton of, so I make sure I can sprawl away from them and keep them upright if we clinch.
