Fight almost broke out in my gym... What would u have done? (serious)

[Dwizzo]

Tonight at my gym (Gold's), I am waiting for the tricep pressdown... This guy I sort of know (big alpha) is using it, and he's about to do his last set... He is doing kneeling cable crunches... This other guy (another big alpha) walks over and starts doing pushups right near my buddy... My buddy says "Hey, can you give me some room, I am about to do my last set".

The pushup guy doesn't say anything. He finishes his set and sits down right there (presumably resting until his next set). My friend says "Hey, I asked you if you can please give me some room"

The pushup guys says "I heard you the first time. You've got enough room, just do your set."

My friend says "Dude, why are you being such an *******?"

At this point, the pushup guys says something like "You're calling me an *******? You got a problem?"

They exchange more words, then the pushup guy stands up, gets in my buddy's face and is like "**** you, let's ****ing settle this right now"

My buddy says "Dude, I'm not going to fight you in the gym, are you crazy"

At this point, a small crowd is watching this happen...

The guy SLAPS my buddy across the face out of nowhere...

At this point I'm shocked that this other dude threw a slap in the gym... But I position myself to the side of the other guy ready to try and break things up if they throw down... A big crowd starts to gather, I have no idea who is with this guy and who is just watching... My friend says "that's it, let's take this outside and I'll kick your ass"

They start walking outside and this other guy who knows my buddy stops him (restrains him) and is saying "It's not worth it, etc... etc..." I walk over and say the same thing, and after 30 seconds, my buddy sort of calms down and stops trying to follow the guy outside... That's basically the end of it...

About 2 minutes later, some guy walks up to my buddy and says "Hey, that dude is waiting outside for you"...

About 10 minutes later my friend walks outside with a group of us because everyone was like "That other guy is an ******* and way out of line" and none of us wanted to see them fight... We get outside and the guy is gone...

So, what would you do if some dude slapped you in the face in your gym? What would you do if some dude slapped an acquaintance of yours in the gym?

Again, serious...

Cliffs:
- I went to the gym
- My buddy (big alpha) gets into a shouting match with another big alpha
- The other big alpha slaps my buddy across the face
- We convince my buddy not to fight the guy
- Everyone leaves, no fight happens
- What would you have done?

Haha, dang thats kinda cool actually. I think I would have sided with your friend, and woulda jumped in.

Slap=fight your friend isnt alpha if he lets people slap him.

Fa sho. I wouldn't mind putting my (little) jiu jitsu experience to some use.

[David1991]

i wouldve wanted to kick there ass so badly but would've stopped myself so i didnt get suspended from the gym or something

[BulkingBrit]

wow, your friend got pwnd

got bitch slapped like a bitch, infront of a crowd of people and didn't do anything.

i bet it was a long walk home for him

[Baker19]

Lol you said big alpha so many times that story sucked. 1 star thread.

[agh2415]

people will probably call your buddy a pussy but i think he did the right thing. It's not worth having something on your record for the rest of your life over some dumbass at the gym

[OoFaP]

Haha...who slaps?

[Ecap]

You definitely did the right thing by keeping your friend from fighting. Nothing good ever comes from fighting. Anyone who thinks the 'alpha' thing would have been to immedietly fight is either A) retarded B) has no concept of what it is to be a man, or C) is a sad human being.
Clearly, there was something wrong with the guy for being so aggressive, He probably has mental issues.
Reps for doing the right thing

[blueadept33]

just get that guy kicked out of your gym.

[bordrshane]

I would have went crazy after the slap. Who the f*** slaps anyway? I would have rushed him after that and it would have ended up on the floor. I have a short fuse and love gettin nuts. Good times.

If I were you, I would let them have at it. Then if someone else jumps in, start dancin.

Totally... I think the guy doing the slapping was the bitch... Either you throw down or you don't... I was seriously shocked when he threw the slap...

Well, saying he "didn't do anything" isn't exactly correct... He told the guy "that's it, let's take this outside and I'll kick your ass" and they both were walking outside to fight... My buddy only decided not to go fight outside after me and another guy physically restrained him for like 30 seconds and were like "Dude, don't do it."

Seriously, it was surreal... I mean, I've seen people argue in the gym, but never seen anything like this... Who the hell starts a fight in the gym?!?!?

[blueadept33]

most fights i see start with:
spitting
slapping
thrown drink


I only hear about fights at gold's gyms. my friend works out there and said two 250lb dudes were going at it and one through a 10lb dumbbell at warp speed across the gym, sounded scary.

As a man, you don't let other men slap you without doing something about it. If I slap you in front of a bunch of people, are you going to say to me, "I'd fight you, but it's not worth it"?

[GoldBlue]

Guess he got out of your friend's space after all...

[Dark Phoenix]

Your friend did the right thing. He fights, he would probably lose his gym membership. IT all honesty, it takes a big man to walk away from something like that.

Same here.

[JewMasterKrunk]

i would have jumped in and tried to kick the guy's ass myself only to get beaten down, but whatever.

i would have followed his ass outside, shot on him, put him in an arm bar until he said sorry for actin like a punk bitch and slapping somebody. could've at least punched or pushed him or something

[Archangel_Lost]

[hunter1492]

I don't start fights but I do finish them.

[Deadgame]

Yeah you get slapped it goes straight to the physical side.
The only reason i can think of is if i was in a nursery full of crawling one year olds and I did not want to squish any of them while I was laying the smack down.

[homer_7]

damn he got slapped and stood there

[JPunisher]

he slapped your friend. thats open game IMO. he struck him first and he should have hit him back. it was degrading what he did to your friend and after reading your story the reality of it was...your friend got punked out and looked stupid.

another person invaded his personal space (bitch slap or not) and thats grounds for defending yourself.

your freind must have been scared honestly, cuz if he was going to fight him than he would have... instead of asking the other guy to go outside and meet him. if anybody would have got kicked out, the other douchbag would have because he threw down first and your buddy had witnesses.

Especially with a big red hand print on the side of your face.
