street fighters inside <---
 

I'm no tuff guy or big boxing fucker but I know some people here are ...

Is it normal if you feel you're getting ready to go into battle or you feel your life is being threatened for your fists to swell up a little.

I've had this situation today and when I make a fist it feels like a fucking hammer. Is that normal or am I about to have a heart attack ?

:helpme

It's normal for your fists to swell up a little, at least mines always have

Perfectly normal... relax, it's just a video game.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh thanks for that :thumbsup

pretty cool self preservation feature hardwired into your body I was unaware of

* your ears ring too

sweet I'm not going to die today :)

you wouldnt like me when im angry!
 

maybe too much beating off eh ? :1orglaugh The thing is I never use both hands ?

:1orglaugh

It's a great video game. It's called "Where are you from" . Where you fight to survive against packs of 15-30 12 year olds. :thumbsup

there is this great part where your neighbors are total phsycos and you're caught in a fewd between the hatfields and the mccoys

You get extra points if you can survive by ( not drinking or having coffee ). If you smoke more points are deducted

if you maintain your sanity or your life before it's time to leave you win !

:1orglaugh we can play doubles. What character do you want to be.

there's an emergency "bitch out" button you can push if things get too hairy , but then you lose all accumulated points and your position int he top 100

if you pick the younger guy, your "knockout" points are deducted dramatically but you have the energy to accumulate more points

if you pick the old guy that doesn't give a shit anymore you can knockout less people but each "win" give you more points

dude I pissed in my pants:1orglaugh

fuck.. that was great

me 2 :1orglaugh

headbut straight to the guys nose --- will blind him with tears in his eyes and catch him off guard... that go to town on his face with your fists.... when on the ground you spit and walk away ;)

this is only the beginning , train some more and soon you will be able to do a ha-do-ken

what's that mean, I'm not training for anything. Just trying not to get my ass kicked ? :1orglaugh I was in "save my life mode" ?

I've been in crazy situation before but I've never noticed my hands swell up and feel like an anvil

that's what happens when you live on the avenue. sounds like the street my buddy lives on.

what street is that homie.

I spent many years here before I joined the military and went on and got a life. Now I'm back doing somebody a favor. I've seen all kinds of heavy shit and little punks really don't do shit for me but now that I'm older it makes it hard to get a little work done ...

I had a nice place on Poli with a view. That's what you get for "volunteering"... actually it's not that bad I was exagerating about the 15 12 year olds kicking your head in. That happened to me in the Valley ( Canoga Park ) when I was 17

good times ...

:helpme

another thing, I never had a prob with anyone. right now I'm having problems with relatives on my street ... and they aren't the phycos yet

Blanca???

oh yeah, the video game. got it :thumbsup

He lives on Vince.

I hear ya man. I find it easier to ignore that stuff the older I get, tho.

some peeps also attract it. I used to walk to this one bar almost every weekend for a while, thru a shadier neighborhood, and never had a single problem. One night some of my friends were over and we decided to walk to the bar. All 3 of them were bigger and meaner than me... four of us and lo' and behold we have trouble, when a minivan with 2 homies and like 4 cholas drove up and started talking shit, then brandished a pistol, talked some more shit and drove off. and to this day, when alone, no one bothers me, I just keep to myself and do my thing.

canoga park. wtf, that's where I went to high school. lived on independence and had to walk thru alabama st to get to and from school. bad times. this was 83-84 ish

I hate this place. I hate it with a passion. Going to move again back on the hill. Friend or no freind. Yeah, Vince ... wouldn't fuck around on that street. :2 cents: I don't remember if it was Vince or Lincoln you had to piss on all the trees around you so you weren't mauled by the pit bulls that roamed freely :1orglaugh maybe that was along time ago.. we are civilized world now

are you shitting me. I "did time" in Canoga Park highschool ? 87 88

remember the burger king on Sherman Way ? around the corner ?

I would have graduated in 88, had I not gone on an extended vacation. yeah that place was like a jail, too... the gates and armed cops walking around. 9th grade for me was the first year they started bussing all the kids from watts and shit to the school. we spent most of our time at pup n taco or chatsworth park... those were good times, hehe

you can relate to this song then :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh



I got a Canoga park highschool peachy folder here somewhere I gotta scan it:helpme

I'm glad to see you ...
that movie just reminds me of my "time" there. I've never found anyone that could relate to this that isn't gone or whatever

I wrote a great story ( not porn ) and the teacher confiscated it and told me I copied it from somewhere because I could never have wrote something so great . It was a decent story I wish I had it. I remember getting a big F for that story and detention. My best friend was a Samoan .

they swell,all right

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ... Michelle is hot.

yeah, it's not too often that I encounter anyone else that went there... I think most people don't like to brag about it. lol

just kidding around :)

serious answer - its the natural energy in your body and those that practise qi gong / internal kung fu / tai ji would be familiar with such feelings such as hands swelling up or warm/cold feeling around hands or a numb feeling or a slight vibrating feeling or a magnetic feeling..even feelings of energy coming to your hands and being mentally willed to stay around/in your hands/body

it really depends on the individual's current physical and mental state, needless to say, if you were already knocked out cold on the floor, you would not be feeling your hands swelling

Yeah sometimes I have those sorts of problems when I'm casting fireballs and other magical attacks at opponents.

Also, sometimes the announcer saying "FINISH HIM" scares me a little! Where is that guy hiding? Is that god?

Really dude? You skip right over any psycho-physical explanations and go straight for the chop-socky? C'mon man.

lol, i just happen to have it on my mind alot this days since im training with qi gong


okok...time for some crap talk

better not give me shit or ill fireball ur ass from my computer chair

and next time you masterbate, your dick will light up and explode like a fire cracker going off *whooshh*

DISCLAIMER
**just kidding, i can only fireball u

In the words of the great Mike Tyson,

"everybody has a plan until they get hit".

Hi Fartfly
 

I think the Modern Affective Neuroscience can explain what happen to your body pretty well. Some modern studies point to the mechanism that your body unleash when you find yourself under the feeling of fear, stress or anger. Your blood pressure raises, the muscles get stronger (by the instant discharge of adrenalin), you get more sensitive and your body more powerful.
This is how the evolution found a way to prepare you to face the most dangerous situation that could show up. If you want to know more, please, check for those books:

Finally, if you want to control this body reaction and train your body, mind and spirit to develop a superior fight skill, you do this:

Jiu Jitsu works in your body and mind in a way you will feel always tranquil in a situation of stress or fear in a duel, will make your body stronger. believe me, it have been changing lifes of many fat asses around the world.

This is my coin dude!

cheers
