1) If you can avoid the fight, you must.* (see rule five)
2) Avoid fighting in highly public places.* (see rule five)
3) Don't argue or verbalize the conflict. Throw Punches not insults.
4) If you have to fight, it should last no longer than 5 seconds. Break an arm, shatter a knee, remove an ear or an eye.* (see rule five)
5) Rules 1,2,4 DO NOT apply to sanctioned fights. Highly recommended that you fight at least to sanctioned fights a year. Without being tested you can't know what you are made of.
6) Don't fight two guys who's combined weight is three times your size, after riding 30 miles on the Interurban trail. (especially if your tires were flat for the first twelve miles). You might fracture the cartilage in your rib cage, in a fashion that is surgically unrepairable. (something about not being able to screw the pieces together and worried about creating a false joint)
7) Reasons you must fight: defense of one's self and family from a physical threat. You must fight in defense of those who can't defend themselves.
8) The only time fighting in defense of honor is permissible is when the honor belongs to a woman, and her honor was offended by a man.
9) You must fight at least a couple of times a year. There is no shortage of opportunities to fight in defense of someone or something who can't defend themselves.
Will keep adding rules as I learn them
I'm really quite interested where you learned these. I'm a girl so these rules were never known to me, more like "You're a girl, stay out of the way". I've never heard the white boy fight rules and they are very different than what Sherman Alexie stated for Native American fight rules.
