The First Fist Fight

The eve of the fight arrived, Raghav had come with 4 of his friends, One of them, a short whitish guy with stubble, had helped the huge Raghav beat me up the previous month, another one was a thin modestly tall person with a face as pale as a ghost and sharply angled eyebrows, who wearing a leather jacket, reminded me of a greaser, the third was this big thickly built guy of well over 6 feet tall with brown wavy hair, the fourth was this nerdy guy with glasses, about my size.

We decided to not let anyone else into the scene, as we had waited a full 20 minutes for the first 4 of his friends alone, the tournament was to be with the first comes only, besides, if we waited any longer to start, a bunch of big tough guys were bound to come, so it wouldn't be worth it, though Maninder wanted to fight one of those big guys.

Everyone's opponents were decided. My roommate Kirti was to fight with Raghav, good news, as I could see fear in Raghav's eyes. I was to fight with the nerd boy Divyanshu, but Divyanshu said that he would be filming the fight, thus I went up against the guy with the stubble, who I did not know the name of. This was the first fight of the evening.

The people watched as they surrounded us, my friends and his friends alike were mixed together, and this time, it was Harsh that made the call. We stepped towards each other, and I initiated the fight by grabbing at the guys left arm. He saw it coming, moving his arm out of the way and grabbed my left wrist with his other. I broke the grip he had on my left wrist right at the time that a blow from him grazes my ear. He was stronger than he looked, I needed to act hard to handle him.

The blow to the ear was followed by him lunging at me, trying to tear me to the ground, I met his plexus with an elbow as he tore into me, crab grabbing my shoulders and trying to soccer kick my left shin as he tried to pull me to the ground. I grabbed his right elbow and tore his arm off of my shoulder while trying to use my other arm to lock his elbow. He manoeuvred his shoulder to stop his elbow bending the wrong way, and I found myself yanking the guys arm toward me as I manoeuvred under him, momentarily lifting him onto my shoulder as I dumped him side first onto the ground, and stomped his belly just as he landed. I went to the ground to grapple him just as he was recovering, receiving a hammer to the nose in the process, and tried to wrap my left arm around his neck, but he tried to push it off with his left arm, he did the same when I tried to choke him with my right arm, but at that moment I managed to grab his skinny right forearm and pull it back as I wasted no time in getting my other arm to help this. I managed to do what I felt was a kimura lock on him. Pulling his rubber like wrist back as hard as I could, but he was more than strong enough to lift me to his sitting position with his back, I lifted him off the ground, by the right arm that I held in a lock, getting him clear off of the ground. He tried to drive his free elbow into my face, and this pissed me off so I threw him onto the door, his flank landing square on the doorknob of the hostel room.

It was apparent that beige thrown onto the doorknob had hurt him, I had thought it ruptures some vital organisation or something that moment, especially as he keeled over and clutched his side, wincing in pain, it gave me the illusion that I had won. And a huge grin can on my face as I looked up arms in the air in celebration, a the others started shouting.
I glanced back at my opponent, and froze with terror as I saw him. He was now the symbol of rage, he then came at me with blinding rage, kicking me on the abdomen so hard that I was knocked onto the opposite door, I managed to avoid the doorknob, and thudded onto the door. The kick strangely didn't hurt, but I moved away before he could squarely kick me again, his second kick instead hitting the door, and I managed to shove him down, using both my hands to grab his right ankle, turning away from any serious kicks with his other leg, and lifting him upside down as I kicked at his bladder. My opponent, was struggling to free himself, and one of his kicks, a hard stomp like blow, hit my left bicep tendon, I had to let go of him, he wouldn't give up like this, it would only gas me out. I was about to kick him as he recovered, but my roommate signalled me to wait until he recovered to a stance, I knew Kirti was onto something. He took a few seconds longer to stand then I thought he would, he was worn down, but he didn't run at me, he just stood there waiting, I walked onto him, avoiding a punch to the side of my neck, but he answered me with a shot to the nose, I never quite got used to getting hit in the nose, but I managed to grab his arm and punch him twice on the chin and temple. He freed his arm and managed to hit me on the jaw, worse, I could feel that my wrist was hurt from landing the temple punch a bit off. He blocked my attempt to knife hand his neck. Before he had time for his own blow, I knee struck him right on the centre of gravity, and to my delight, he was down.

This time I pounced him on the ground, landing my knee on his abdomen, the 'knee on belly' technique Tanmay had reminded me of. His abdomen was already contracted, so it didn't have the effect I hoped it would have, but it did knock some wind out of him, slowing down his attempt to throw me off and rise back up. I grabbed his neck with both hands before he could throw me off. He wasn't out fast enough, and tried to tear my fingers off his neck, one of my hands started to slide, causing me to make the split second decision to turn this into a chokehold. I wasted no time solidifying it with my other hand. I simply forced the choke with all my might, the pumping adrenalin must have doubled my strength, as I hear my face was beet red at this moment. My grip was strengthened by delight as I felt him weaken so rapidly, the others shouted at me to let go, and one of them, Aditya, almost had to tear me off of him. For a moment I was worried that I had severely hurt this guy, but he got back up after several seconds, I had won.
