Maybe
I've done a little training in boxing as a kid and a little bit of bjj as an adult. Plus I'm jacked. So I could probably beat up a regular person pretty easily. Anyone with any real amount of training in anything is going to kick the shit out of me though.

On the plus side, I know enough to defend myself a bit until I get an opportunity to run away. That's my gameplan if I didn't have enough awareness to do it immediately

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

through extensive martial arts study I know that if I engage in violence I have already failed.

the best defense is being assertive and de-escalating the situation. I dont need any assault charges in an unsanctioned street fight.

Yeah same. If forced into a fight I'd probably lose but I'm going to leave a mark

Go for vulnerables. Balls. Eyes. Throat.

I'm no fighter. Never even been in a real fight and certainly no training. I'd try to, though, if required. I'd fight dirty too if I could end things quickly and get away.

No one should even assume fighting will be fair. The only reason to fight "cleanly" in self-defense is if you have an overwhelming advantage and want to avoid potential legal trouble.

As for the topic; I do judo, and more recently, muay thai. I'll be fine.

I was a semi-pro boxer back in the day, so I'd like to think that I'd still be able to handle people a bit bigger than me and smaller in this kind of scenario.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Talking like that, they would have to be at least 70 years old.

So on that basis, a brisk walking pace should be enough.

Same. I'm not a fighting person, but if I'm forced to, I'm going for balls, eyes, using my elbow, whatever the fuck I have to do to get out of that situation.

I have a couple of years of muay thai and boxing experience under my belt. Plus I'm in decent enough shape with all the running and calisthenics I do. I don't worry too much about how I'd handle myself in a fight.
