The Warning Signs
June 18, 2007 by nopstar
Honestly I’m not one to start fights, although everyone has the one friend. The one friend who’s always starting shit when you’re out. Shit, you may be that friend. I’ve got a friend who’s completely trashed after 4 beers. He is literally one of the worst drunks I’ve ever met. He doesn’t pick fights but he gets a little grabby when he’s wasted. He likes touching people, it makes me fucking nervous because it’s a matter of time before he grabs some dudes girlfriend.
Anyway my point is you don’t know who you’re fucking with. It’s insane I know there are lots of dudes who train all week and look to doll out beatings on the weekends. Just like in the animal kingdom there are visual cues with who not to fuck with. For instance brightly colored insects = poison, birds know not to eat them. Here are just a few that I’ve noticed… As always if you feel that I’ve missed anything, please feel free to share.
I went to school in Washington DC, and roomed with some baseball players my first year. They were all about going to the bar and pounding on some poor bastard. The funny thing is, there was a group of guys who every now and again would come into “flips” they always seemed to roll about five or six deep. They weren’t too big and weren’t too small. The tell tale sign was they all had really short hair and were all wearing big fat dive watches. Some of the baseball players got into a scrap with these guys and got beat down pretty good. Guess who the watch belongs to? Click on the image if you need a hint. Naval Seals 1, Baseball team 0. So, they learned rather quickly to notice people’s watches.
I read somewhere that cauliflower ears are know a status symbol in Japan. I could see it… like I said I’m not one to pick fights, but I got to be honest with you. I wouldn’t start shit with someone with no neck and mangled ears. Shit check out this ear… who do you think it belongs to? Click the image to find out.
I came across this one the other day. I know that if you’ve studied Karate, you’ve spent some time pounding
on a Makiwara. So who do you think these knuckles belong to? Hint: if he hits you, you’re going to sleep. Seriously this is the third warning sign, if you see someone with knuckles like these would you really fuck with them? Click the pic to see who this fist belongs to.
Got anything I should be on the look out for?
im not too good with thai faces but the knuckles, its anuwat?
I remeber reading an article awhile back in SFweekly that touched upon this subject for a couple of sentences. one that i always thought was never noticble until someone pointed out to be very cautious of who take a step back everytime you step forward in their personal space.
I just tell them they are all homos and run away.
Never fuck wit people wearing long trench coats in the summer.
Never trust a guy who wears shades in the clubs.
guys with gang related tattoos or the infamous tear drop tat or the 8 ball tat (I won’t get into the meaning of those tattoos).
Don’t fuck with a bald chinese man with a 6 to 8 dots on his forehead who likes to imitate animals (Tigers, cranes, dragons, monkeys, etc…).
Don’t fuck with anyone who has won the world max twice (soon to be thrice).
Don’t fuck with anyone named Ryu, Ken or Sagat.
Don’t fuck with anyone who’s dark hair turns blond and spikey when he gets mad especially if there a huge energy ball levitating above his raised palms.
DOn’t fuck wit anyone who’s name is Spydaman..cuz he’ll kick ur ass (this one should be first).
Don’t fuck with anyone period cause ain’t no karate man gonna stop a bullit. If you think you are though come to Oakland and check out some of these tough guys out here. You look at them wrong and you will be shot. I think Martial Arts should stay what it is: an art. Times have changed my friends.
“karate man”???? This is a Muay Thai blog…..lol. Don’t you know Muay Thai guys are bullet proof???….It’s a known fact.
Fine…….. Don’t fuck with tough guys from Oakland.
How about just fucking guys? that stuff goes on in San Francisco a lot. Right, Nopstar?
no one likes poisen dick
This conversation has just taken a weird turn.
No bullets in county jail or the pen – then the “art” is plenty good for “tough” guys.
Seen that video at all? 3 Bad guys hold down 1 tough guy while jailers look on and don’t do shit, while number 4 bad guy stabs tough guy in the neck about 200 times with a make shift tooth brush knife. Trust me Muay Thai is a sport. On the street it can do good but better to use brain and not be there or leave. Smart people usually live longer compared to brainless fighters
Tough guys get raped in prison
Look out for scars on the face. Boxers tend to have shoulders that are proportionally bigger than their chests. Combat athletes usually work out their necks, so a muscular neck is a cause for concern. If you find yourself about to fight a guy you can look at his stance and figure out whether he train and in what discipline. If a guy looks completely calm and stretches out before he is about to fight, that could also be a sign that he’s a badass.
