Yes. Sixteen years old. We were riding in the car (he was driving). Was cursing at him, being very disrespectful (we were fighting over his divorce from my mom). Stopped at the intersection of Woodale Boulevard and Tom Drive, turning left. He blindside punched me in the left side of my face. Hardest I have ever been hit in my life, before or since. I literally saw blackness and stars. Went into a rage and beat the living garbage out of him. Left him black and blue (I later found out). Got out of the car and literally ran back to my mom's house in Broadmoor. A day I will always regret. He has been dead now for over seventeen years.

Hell no way to much respect for him. I would never think of it.

By the time I was 15, I was as big as my father and was a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do...
So no, I never challenged him, and I don't think he would have accepted if I had.

I was absolutely that stupid once. I tried when I was about 16 in the middle of an argument. Fight ended extremely quickly. Never tried again.

Man, listening to some of y'all's stories makes my life feel pretty good... Some of these fathers seem like complete a-holes...

Remember this like it was yesterday. My old man and I were just talking about something when he up and noticed I was just as tall as he was. I was a sophomore in high school, but playing football and in good shape as in much thicker than him. He jokingly said I was starting to fill out and something about being able to get the better of him. We hadn't horseplayed like this in years.
This time was different in that we were joking around and he purposely (I think) let me pin him down for just a second. Then the old man got crafty and just started playing dirty. He taught me some things about dealing with someone that is younger, faster, and stronger. He taught me that he was smarter, more experienced and just plain meaner. This was NOT a bad experience. It was just a coming of age thing that I have grown to look back on as one of my best memories of the Old Man. He let me know that he still had "it" and that experience can be much more valuable than youth. We went out and pitched the baseball around and just talked afterward for over an hour. Two years later cancer would do what I could never do. I would give almost anything to have that day back but would trade nothing on this earth to share a day like that with my boy in a few years down the road.

We had this exact thread about a year ago, and I learned that most OT dads are calm, unassuming super soldier ninjas

i love and respect my dad. so, no.
that and the fact that in his 50's he still lifts more than me, it's never seriously crossed my mind.

Me and my old man got into it after I decided I wanted to be Billy badass and buy a sportbike at 19. We had words when he found out a couple months after I bought it. It got heated and I shoved him he took a swing and I dodged and threw him into a choke hold. Squeezed until he tapped. 2 days later I moved out of his house.
Got into a fender bender and sold the bike a couple weeks later. That sequence of events taught me that I was not always right and brought us way closer. He is my best friend as of today, don't know what I would do without him.

I'm sure a few posters on here knew my dad. He was an All American Tight End in high school and a football coach in Baton Rouge.
He never laid a hand on me his entire life. One day we got into it as kids/parents do and I bowed up to him. He smiled, like he'd been waiting his whole life for this moment. Quickly, I turned around and walked away as fast as I could. Because I was about to take a grown man arse whooping and wasn't ready for it.
