real life fight clubs

im guessing you havnt read any other posts here. well yes i would join it, infact im in one

what story do you want to hear?

is this thread- where all the guys come together and brag how tough they are?

sure sounds like it may start off that way

i took a long break from this fight club forum... kind of overwhelming, i'm tired of interpreting but hey, still fun. yeah, i noticed the "fighting" topic not too far below... still doesn't answer my question... my question is: are fight clubs logical? is there any real point to hitting someone on schedule?

it just sounds so emotionless...

yeah it is. well for guys like me and other guys too. me, im not into football, baseball, basketball or all that shit. but im also not into the "im not into anything popular" crowd either. im not a part of any group or sport really. and fighting is tha "group" for me, cause its not popular (and when i say not popular i dont mean not popular in the cool way) and im not popular and i just sorta fit with it. hard ot explain, and i dont really view it as a schedule of getting hit, i only view it as schedule the day after a fight when im counting down the days until me and my buddies get otgether again

see the last think i wanna come off as is one of those rogue "i hate everything popular" (which there fore makes me popular to the unpopular) kinda tough people. cause i hate those kinda people, and unfortuantly i cant not sound like one when tellign you about hwy i like to fight. so when reading this know this, i dont when fights, i lose them, i dont htink im tough for fighting i think im lucky for being enlightenned. and the last thing i want is the spotlight on me because i fight

main reason i really also like to fight is that i dont wanna die without any scars

any other questions? or need to know info

You're right. It's not about schedules, but it makes it more interesting if (presuming you hang out with those friends alot) you decide to fight spontaneously whereever you happen to be at the time. Preferably not in view of cops, but hell... whatever.

yeah. basically its just me and another ugy, we're best firends. and every time we get together its unspoken that we're gonna fight or just hang out and have fun (which still involves fighting, but it mor ebrotherly punches and slaps upside the head. nothin too serious) so it is and it isnt a schedule. it is a schedule cause like i said its unspoken and known that we will fight when we get together, but its not a schedule cause we dont know when we will or how we're gonna fight

does anyone else on this forum fight?

My friends and I box on occasion, but I'd hardly call it a fight club. We don't do face hits and sometimes we use gloves, sometimes we don't. I don't know. I suppose I'm afraid if I make it a regular habit to get hit in the head, I'm going to end up being not the most intelligent fellow around, you know? I mean, that shit can't be good for your head, no matter how okay they come outin Fight Club. It's a fucking movie. Do professional boxers seem enlightened? Fuck no. So I think it's kind of dumb to make it a regular thing to take shots to the head. So I don't.

However, fighting, minus face hits, is very fun. It's been awhile since I've boxed though, unfortunately. I'm eager to go at it again.

Also - original guy mentioned the space monkeys. I thought they were dumb. Fuck being a space monkey. If you want to be Tyler, go right ahead, I won't bother stopping you. You're still just trying to be something you're not, but at least it's something admirable. Space monkeys, on the other hand, are just as bad as everything Tyler is against, imo.

well its not a weekly thing,and we've yet to do hard hits to the face. although while we're not fighting i get enough punches to the head from my friends

hmm ok, this is the forum of double and quadruple posts.... *clap clap*

well SubJunkie im glad someone out there understands my posts lol

I have two wishes regarding this...to be a little bit bigger so I wouldn't get killed...and then YES, YES, FUCK YES, to be in a fight club. It'd be good times.

dont worry about size man. do as much stuff that involves any form of pain a possible, and soon enough it dulls out from a sharp feeling to a numb one. after that, size, muscle, doesnt matter, all that matters is that your out there

Me and some of the girls in my school had a fight club for about a week. True to girlish form, all it involved were shots to the arms and legs and one good shot to the head (mine). The girl who hit me was supposed to hit my eye but biffed it and broke my nose instead. It bled pretty bad and after that we kind of dissolved. People are so afraid--I break my nose and everyone else gets scared. One other girl and I wanted to start it back up again (snaps to you, Ange) but no one else is with us. Can you have a FC with only two people? and girls at that?

very amusing, you folks. my fight club has escalated... i'm not really into it... my friends are still idiots. they are "organizing". i hate organization... and it has become a club of fear, a gang, really... and i'm not into fear... i'd love to fight my friends but when it gets to this kind of cultish level... ironic, yes. anyway, i love ideological cults (this, in theory) but when we insist on submitting to "rules" and shit like that when i don't even agree... i just don't see it... okay, let's break it down. my friends fight like they have to win in a certain amount of seconds... i say, take your fucking time. second, they'd rather fight in the grass... i say, fight in the garage. third, we're filming it, yes, jackass generation... and i hate it. it shouldn't be filmed... any thoughts? i suppose i'm just an individualist... and if we were fighting for a cause... maybe i'd join the regime, but there is no fucking cause! i think it would be really awesome if i'd just get in there and let them beat me to a pulp... then i'd show them. this is a dilemma i never imagined having. i am the true nihilist in the group and the fuckers take over like good space monkeys... sigh, rip my psyche to shreads.

"Do what thou wilt" shall be the whole of the law.

The easiest way to destroy their rules is to blatantly go against them, with each person, sowing dischord into the group.

The easiest way to stop filming is to destroy the camera.

The easiest way to bring it into the garage is to start on one of them, in the garage.

The easiest way to slow it down is to let them beat the shit out of you. (If you can do that, or even beat the shit out of yourself, you've gotten what I took out of Fight Club.)

Yeah i fight with my freind occasionaly, but its for fun and also to figure out our strengths and weaknessess in fighting. i get punched in the same bruised rib every day (im realy skinny) and my knuckes are calloused and i fuckered up my elbow tendon, but its so mush fun and good exersice. since i smoke, i cant excersice for more than a couple of minutes untilk i cant breathe, but somehow fighting keeps me brething and fighting.. speaking of that, i dont smoke as much a tyler does, but enough that a little running makes my not be able to breate... so then is tyler some sor t of lung deity? whats up with that? someone who smokes that much would alwyas be gasping and always tired

wow. this is all pretty insanely stupid.

if anyone thinks that the book actually endorses the concept of fight club, they need to go back and read it again. they may, in fact, need to be taught to read all over again.

i don't mean to be flaming you guys, but seriously...you've missed the entire point of the book, and that's sad.

I took more away form the book than fighting, but its still fun

Fighting is beside the point.

I took the book way too literally, when I first read it. However, the circumstances that I was in at the time allowed me, probably forced me, to take the "Tyler" outlook on life. I'd been fighting alot, anyways, and when I read the book and watched the movie I realized (at the time, not now) that I wanted to be insane. I was basically the same kind of person as Tyler was portrayed as, and became more like his character because... well... it was a phase that I had to go through, in order to figure out that I didn't need all the bullshit.

That's all.

i realize the book doesn't endorse fighting... of course, if you look at what results from the fighting... or that the narrator is insane from the beginning. but i think it has a valid point... that we live our lives avoiding the bumps and bruises, knicks and cuts. anyway, i think it's good that the book provokes so much emotion in all of us. people have to follow something, they have to grab onto what they feel is right, some people choose religion, some their jobs, some families, some politics, etc... and i think FC does fill in that gaping hole some have when they don't side with money or god or their mothers and fathers or whatever it may be... so i would defend anyone who prefers to beat the shit out of each other (rather than insulting their reading levels) because there is no foundation for which to judge each other... thanks, jaron, for the good tips, and godsbbqsauce... hail to the thief! wahaha!

I agree wholeheartedly with you, charlie. People today are so dull. (Here comes my little literary moment, so skip this if you want). Waaay back in about 1800, William Wordsworth talked about 'savage torpor', the idea that all of us are so deluged with sensationalism and trivialism all the time that we aren't even able to feel real emtion anymore, and he wrote poems about anti-materialism. If he thought the problem was so bad 200 years ago, before TV, before mass media, before all that shit, what would he think about today?!

To anyone who claims that 'f you love to fight you missed the whole point of Chuck's message': yeah, there probably are some people out there who fight just cause they saw some guys do it on a movie. But I think for the major of the people who fight, and are really serious about it, the movie/book made them come to a realization of how good fighting, or anything else (driving a monster truck, death sports, la la la) would be to let out all that crap that builds up in your life. Plus, your mind would totally change if you actually fought, just once. It just changes you all around.

i think its obsurd to schedule a fight for you to prove yourself. its is un-Chuck like. trendsetting a movement like fight clubs for the sole purpose of copying the movie is stupid.

to prove oneself, pick a fight with a random person that you know will hit you. hence, no scheduling and no feelings of distrustfulness nothing that you "staged" a fight.

i feel retarded.

I don't see why, if the fighting is scheduled, you're "proving yourself." Why can't you just realize that some people like the physical act of fighting and take that at face value?

Don't feel retarded though

There are other ways to disregard physical appearance.

Take, for example, wearing stuff that YOU like because YOU like it. If you don't feel like wearing a shirt, or if you feel like freeballing it, or hell... going without shoes or wearing flipflops into a high end resteraunt, because of the sheer practicality (i.e., not shredding the bottoms of your feet) instead of appearance... ? That's what I would say is a fairly strong disregard for physical appearance. That, and the scars. Some self imposed and some inflicted on my by others, random, flecks of shiny and whitened skin scattered across my body... and hell. Whatever.

I have a lighter burn on my left arm. My brother did it the first time, when I was about ten years old. He wanted to show me that I could take the pain, and hell... I did, but I cried like the ten-year-old that I was. It ripped a chunk of my skin off, with the thin layer of fatty tissue underneath. When the lighter touched my skin, it was literally glowing and popped when it touched. I did it again, a few days later, to prove to myself that I could take the pain without even flinching or tensing or wincing. I did it, and it scarred over to form a fucking ugly, deformed horse-shoe.

I wear it like a badge.

[B]I think Chuck was just saying find a passion. It could be bowling or drawing or poetry or field hockey or bob sleding or powerlifting. It doesnt matter. Just find something you love that take you away from society. This is a common theme in books about the diseffected of society.
Fighting just furthor symbolized the disregard of physical appearence.[/B][/QUOTE]

This is exactly what I was trying to say but I couldn't find the words. Sure glad someone else could.

Is this what men post like?

an organized fight club, no
but i always fight with my friends for relief of boredom or anger.
