if you're ever in a fight... (please note that i am in no way promoting violence in any form) there are 2 things that you should think about when faced with a dangerous situation Engage or Evade there can only be one option to choose i prefer to evade evading is always the best option as it reduces the risk of injury to either you, your opponent or other bystanders to evade is to avoid the situation or ask for assistance from nearby authorities or people or plainly swallowing your pride or ego. you can also run away but if you are ever to engage in a fight make sure to keep yourself safe at all times and end the fight within 10 seconds as much as possible go for the critical areas like the solar plexus, groin, eyes, nose etcetera... the human body is full of nerve points and hitting in the exact spots will end a fight immediately in order to do that you must train and it takes years of training for the body to learn to move without thinking... to develop muscle memory or you could just do what comes naturally... run. your body knows how to do that, even as toddlers we learned how to run

I think it is still better to evade or run to avoid bigger fight. When I was in college, our instructor in arnis told us that in case of fight, it is still best to know how to evade and run to avoid being hurt and to hurt.

hi chipesterkhan hi again yes engage, thats if you are trained and physically fit, or evade.For me at my age and with my partial disability I would choose to evade completely and if necessary run fast as I can also yelling for help as I am handicapped but I would move fast as I could first though since I am 84 I would not let myself get into a predicament where someone wanted to fight with me.
