I'm a mild follower of mma and fighting sports. But everytime I see Bas Rutten, he puts a big grin on my face. What a cool guy, a class act and a proper man.

[@keithprice1950]

Everytime a bully (usually a bigger kid) tried to pick on me or fight me I always stood up to them and fought back. I was terrified as I was doing it but I couldn't help it, I just had to fight back. As a result I wasn't bullied and as I got older I had no problems. I'm not tough, I'm not a fighter but there was just something inside me that made me push back even if I was scared.

[@Stephen-lt1tp]

The biggest problem is workplace bullies. They’re always sissies that think their company protects them. And when you challenge them to a fight, they back down. But inevitably you pretty much have to quit because of the tension and they run to HR. It’s a struggle in life to find a company with all cool people. Usually people that grew up. Fighting are the most respectful. Now we have to work with these workplace tough guys sissies

[@SirChivalRegal]

I had the same experiences. They talk like they're going to bring the roof down..but practically they are nothing...they do sour the workplace environment. Not much is done by management since " no actual fight had happened " .

[@Stephen-lt1tp]

@@SirChivalRegal that’s my biggest challenge in life is to find a company with cool people. All I can do for my life now is check those people quick within five minutes of them being disrespectful. If they want to keep it up, then I can keep it up as well. fortunately most people are good, but it only takes one or two people to bring that adrenaline pumping.

[@SirChivalRegal]

@@Stephen-lt1tp yeah. I had 25 people in my department. Yet one person alone , a really toxic guy would rile many of us up." The company umbrella would act like a shield , similar I assume to a bunch of bystanders ready to pull the " aggressor " away in confrontation in a crowd. The " let go of me!" , excuse. One guy came up to me, regarding the toxic collegue and said he would quit his job , but vowed to break all of that guys teeth before he left. ( he didn't do either, but his feeling were such)I left myself after two years.

[@Stephen-lt1tp]

@@SirChivalRegal if that were me now, I would ask that guy to go to lunch with me one on one and tell them exactly how I feel. I’ve learned you really have to isolate these people away from the crowd. Never let them get over on anybody more than two or three times. Nip it in the bud. But like I mentioned after it’s just tension and if they don’t quit, I ultimately end up leaving just cause I still have to look at their ugly face every day. We can choose our friends, but we can’t choose our family or coworkers

[@dr.detroit1514]

Great discussion. A negative untruth always seems to travel fast, and is the one thing that gets focused on in the midst of many good things, sticks like super glue, and unless you have absolute proof to the contrary, such as recording, is impossible to convince people otherwise, and becomes your whole reputation. When I was in computer customer service, where we had customer survey cards that would be returned, there was a saying for this: “One 'Aw Shit' Wipes out a Thousand 'Attaboys'."

[@MVProfits]

I was just a kid and pre-teen when I took care of bullies, but no doubt, violence solved the issues, and quickly at that, contrary to the current stupid trend. Like if going to a teacher, parent, etc. will solve this. At that age, the "violence" is not that dangerous at all. No weapons, no punching power really so hardly ever any KOs just some minor pain and bloody noses.

[@quickdrawmcgraw3567]

Until that kid steals his dads gun and shoots you in your ass for embarassing him and "ruining his life". Happened at my school, so when I trained, I never wanted to resort to violence (only last resort), because you might be a better fighter, but you never know how far somebody else is willing to go to "win"

[@YellowPaint100]

That's just why I feel kids should be allowed to fight. Plus they learn to pick themselves up & face conflict. Then when they're big enough to really hurt ppl, hopefully they won't want to, because they know it could go either way.

I,m dutch like bas . And we learned to fight for your place on the playground . If you got bullied you knew you couldn't come home crying , yes you could but no one had any sympathy for you . It was like this ...ok who did what to you and why ? My excuse Didn't matter ,3 boys attacked me no reason ,,he was much bigger I didn't do anything wrong .. Yeah right ... do you know where they are now ? Euh yes.. OK go back ,on your way you put some rocks in your pockets look for a big stick Walk towards them and hit the first one with that stick .. and the rocks ? That's back up mostly you don't need them ,the rest of them got the message. . Best advice ever ..you only need it once ..!lol

[@michealbreathnach2928]

Well, you could be a member of my family with that attitude. That's why you Dutch have so many top kickboxers.

[@unwnme]

Who are you trying to impress? What you describe is not the situation for many kids today. It is a tougher world for them now than before. Deck your bully and expect to be harrassed irl and on the social medias and worse, for a long time. You can expect to be moved from the school and be reprimanded, while the bully goes free. But of course, YOU would be such a tough kid today that the bullies wouldn't dare do that to you. You ignorant dingo.

[@PainInTheS]

Dutchman here.....exactly the same as described. I used to be too soft, while being bigger than most my age.....guess it was due to that, I was tall and most figured I was older than how I looked and so didn't behave that way. Anyway, at one point my father was done when I came at the door again crying and told me to get a big piece of wood and club the guys bullying me.......and I did. Thankfully not one of those guys directly but one of their bikes, which they jumped off and ran when I went at them in berserker mode. The bike took serious damage. So my father got a visit from another father, whom agreed I should man up, both had a good laugh, damages covered by insurance, all good......after that those other kids became neighbourhood friends I played with. When I was 12 I noticed myself I had to be careful hitting people, as not to permanently damage them. Just like Bas my parents moved, from a small town closer to Amsterdam and being the new kid they will try you......I waited for the right guy to challenge me, beat him into total oblivion....a construction worker had to pull me off him as the whole school watched this happen. Never ever had any problem with people after that, I now was that guy you better not messed with.......great. I was.....am, a real big 6f6 guy, shy and silent type.....grew a bit more social over time, but deep inside I'm that same kid......leave me alone and things will be fine, push me and you'll be in a world of pain. Never needed any martial arts for that and I have fought guys like that and with guys like that.....the latter who always told me they wouldn't like to face me, the former learned that the hard way. 🤣

I’m 46 American white man from Oklahoma it’s the same here my dad would be like who was it do you know where he lives so we drive over there and fight in the front yard my dad was pretty rough so at 10 I had to fight a 12 year old untill he quit

[@Tyler2Wheel]

I learned how to deal with bullies in like 4th grade, turn around punch them in the nose as hard as you can.. and they leave you alone. I had to pop 3-4 bullies throughout school and it stops them. in 2023 we call them trans or non binary, they should get the same treatment.

[@requiem5179]

Bullying is fundamental to growing up. To finding self assurance and where you stand when confronted with static in your life. I was bullied a lot in 6th grade till one day I stood up for myself. Everytime after that I stood up for myself and if some threw the first punch I ended it after that. I threw a kid down a flight of stairs once. No one messed with me after that. I was a popular kid by the time I was in 9th grade. I found my confidence and self respect. Then others respected me. That lesson changed my life.

[@dickbison]

It's such a normal thing we don't even have a word for it in my language. Took me a while to wrap my head around the concept when I was learning English. I was viciously bullied as a kid, but I just saw it as dicks acting like dicks, nothing strange.

I was a small kid. Picked on a lot. Lived in a tent at a KOA for a few years. We were poor. So I learned early, I had to fight back. Luckily I was quick and able to pop a nose at 13. So I only had to fight 1-3 times a year...some bully would pick on my friends, not me. I would not let that happen while before high school. In high school the fighting went down by a huge factor as the end was worse. Maybe 6-7 fights the whole time. Got my first knock out. Funny. In the movies the guy fly's backwards. Not evern close. Dude went down like wet rag. bluuump. I'm old now, 50's. Still can't stand them fk's. When i see it professionally today, I'll assist the person with advise and perhaps some backup. Although those teens and twenties...that was fun. I dont' remember the pain, I lost a few for sure.(hint for child psychologist, mind fucking only works until the kid figures it out, but basic pain lesson can keep a kid out of jail and physical pain cannot be recalled. Only the lesson of "the world doesn't care what you think is right...THIS is right and you were wrong stays forever. Not abuse but training) But at least I stood up for what was right. by the way, my parents were wonderful. Only got spanked twice. Once for hitting my younger sister and once for stealing. Both before 7 years old. I learned to fight because I had no choice, bullies would try and take anything I had.
