Hypothetically, there’s no immediate option to escape a person who has attacked you and is intent on causing you further harm. Do you think you would be able to fight back and create an opportunity to escape? Do you have a plan for if things go sideways and you end up on the ground with them raining blows down upon you? Can you fight to survive until your last breath?

    I was almost killed by a bully in secondary, then I almost killed him by choking him when I got him off me me and was dragged off him by a teacher. That’s the only violent experience I have ever experienced. I’d probably get my ass kicked now. But maybe I’d fight back efficiently, who knows. I also avoid confrontation and violence as part of my beliefs so only in serious defense.

      That’s a great philosophy to have, the best defence is not fighting at all. But we have to be prepared for the bullies in all aspects of our lives. Have you ever considered training to improve your fighting capabilities?

          I take it from your initial comment that you don’t incorporate sparring into your training. Sparring would definitely give you a better benchmark of your abilities and show you where you can improve.
