And your point is? Or are you simply declaring the obvious?

Hello, Which side of the coin you want to be?

Martials arts....is a good thing to learn and know how to use correctly...

NOT knowing...will still get you into trouble anyway....

Laws are made by Man..Man is NOT perfect...therefore..we will get some imperfect laws....

Learning to defend oneself....and survive? ....is a good trouble to be in...better than the morgue or Hospital...

Aloha, ...the troubles of life..is the troubling of laws...

it just getting in trouble with the law aint right
So learn the laws, and respond within the scope of what's justifiable.

Hint... the search function here will yield many informative threads about the justifiable use of force.

Agreed

Know your environment. Know your environment. Know your environment.

Don't knock someone out for spilling a drink on you or something minor like that, it's just not justifiable. If someone obviously is trying to cause harm to you, react in a manner that will sedate the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible. That's where your MA training comes in ;)

Make sure you don't start it, but make sure you end it.

Friendo, i will say this:

Look at your local state laws.
: o )
some are more "Lenient"
To those that are defending one's self cause the bad guy "Kept entering your personal space" repeatedly, and,
the fact, you had witnesses.
Remember, it goes to court, and THEY FIND out you are a martial artist, NOT GOOD!

And you may.

But your response must be reasonable and appropriate to the attack. Check your local laws for specifics.

And really... this has been covered in depth. Look for it...
