The FBI trawled through thousands of violence reports to see what techniques were best fur defending oneself, and thus for teaching to their agents.
There were individual examples where martial arts skills etc hve the edge, but the only single factor that had an above average advantage was muscle mass. If they're bigger than you then statistically they're more likely to do you some damage.
Many, many moons ago 3 x ne'er do wells tried to relieve me of some dosh. A forearm across the face of the first as hard as I could swing it, nutted the second one and the third settled for running off. Now, I say this very carefully - reasonable force is all well and good, but you need to be alive to answer to a court. If things ever get so bad that I have no option but to use force I will use SAS. Speed, Agression, Surprise. Then run like F***!
