"We're cagefighters"

Some hooligan knocked over a rubbish bin in Shaftsbury.

Did they sing that song while they did it?

He wasnt too specific, but it was more 'most deadly to fishermen', getting drowned, catching power lines, infections from dirty fish hooks, etc.
Although a fish would probably have a different perspective on the whole thing!

His point was (I think) martial arts are not that dangerouse statistically, as you are far more likely to get injured playing football, rugby, fishing, etc.

put me right off fishing

You mean rock fishing is the most dangerous sport. Not fishing in general.

Fucking "infections from dirty hooks", how fucking ludicrous! No wonder he wasn't specific, he didn't know what the fuck he was talking about.

You did well, mate. Well done to you.

I was amused by Judoka's alternative take.

Bullies, eh? Reminds me of a fight on a bus. The Bully started it and drew up his steel toe-capped boots and just missed the bloke's chin. He fought back and turned the Bully onto the seat and started to punch his lights out. The Bully: "All right, mate. That's enough. I didn't mean it".

Well, I laughed. And it was a long time ago - still, it's consistent with your Cage-fighters opponent when you turned the tables.

The prospect of being thrown onto a hard surface is daunting. Even the brake falls are going to hurt.

When I was 8 I went to attack a class mate who had debagged me in the play ground (I was commando and extremely embarresed)
A judoka, he Ippon seonage'd me, and to his merit and that of his sensei, let me down gently and I landed on my feet. I was exreemly impressed

Well done you. By sheer coincidence I was re-watching Bill Hicks last night and - yes, "we're the hooligans". Brilliant!

I once accidentally over-Judo'd a guy into a short coma.

I know a former international who as a young guy at one of his first national training camps was O soto-ed onto his head.

It induced a stroke.

He had to have fluid drained from his brain and afterwards they told him that he couldn't move whilst in bed because there wasn't enough fluid to cushion it.

After 8 hours on his side he'd had enough and turned onto his back as he turned he could feel his brain sliding inside his skull and 'splodge' against the otherside.

He didn't move again until the doctors told him he could, lol.

If there's no nerve endings in the brain how did he feel it?

If your brain hits the side of the skull, you do notice it. Plus of course, the skull has feeling.

When I got a screw taken out of my talus, it was the creepiest thing I've ever experienced. If that dude could feel his brain slide and splat, I can only imagine how nasty that must've felt.

Well, at least this nightmare might displace the one where my teeth keep falling out.

One of my old professors explained that during early brain surgery patients were kept awake, just a local was used, as the brain couldn't 'feel', and they would be guided to where they needed to get to by the patients responses of what they experienced when prodded, as the brain would generate signals for each bit of it that was touched. How true that is I'm not sure, but it too sounds freaky.

I've occasionally felt what I thought was my brain move in my head as a result of mega impacts in Rugby.

Also every now and again I get this really disconcerting feeling as if there's an air pocket in the bone on the right side of my skull and a small piece of bone or other had material is inside it rattling about.

No idea what it is, but I get it occasionally when I run a lot.
