Used to, I was abused by my father and bullied threw first and fifth grade, once in middle school I soon realized when I was used to grown man hitting me I was damn near invincible to the other kids, but I only used my strength on bullies. Never beat up anybody who didn't deserve it.
It was fun when I was a kid (all we did was push each other down) As I grew up, I noticed folks were actually trying to hurt each other and the fun aspect evaporated.
I'd rather fight with my mouth than my fists. Never had a real fight in my life! 'One bit of pushing and shoving in high school with another girl (who pushed me first, and I pushed her onto her butt and she left me alone quick smart!), but never a real fight. I'm actually quite proud of that. (But there's stil time, so don't f*ck with this badass!!!) XD
I think controlled fighting is actually healthy. I'm not talking about street fights here, but actual fighting with equipment in a safe environment. As a guy, I think society has taught me that fighting is too "primitive" and should never be resorted to. However, many times people don't have healthy ways of expressing their anger, and this can lead to huge problems.
Violence is never the answer. When one resorts to violence, they are stooping to the level of the aggressor. In addition, it can easily be said that, in a fight, you only ever create more trouble for yourself and others. it is unwise to resort to violence, unless violence is the only way to stop conflict. Such cases, however are rare. Or at least they should be.
Actually there needs to be an "Other" choice to go with this question, becasue it depends on the fight. I like to watch "Championship Fighting" because "Championship Fighting" is for the Championship.
I haven't had to fight very much. I'm big and can be very diplomatic, so people listen. When I have had to fight, I did well. It's not a great feeling punching a guy in the nose. Don't want to do that kind of thing, but when necessary I can. Even though I'm a stroke survivor, the few fights I've had were quick. If I hang around messing with someone, I could get hurt or killed.
Blessings to all and,
May all be well with you ^_^

I like fighting bad guys, but not other people.
