My friend and I were wrestling and my friend lost his temper and tried to take a swing at me. Before he swung I tried to prevent the fight from happening by telling him to relax but it was too late. So when he took the swing at me I managed to think quick and roll right under his punch. In turn it gave me enough time to charge and get him into a hold until he came to his senses.
