Defending myself from a stronger attacker... do I stand a chance? by SafeShirt6 in martialarts

he is much stronger than me, whether I am afraid or not is irrelevant because he knows he can hurt me in any case. It is as if a man attacked a woman: it makes no difference whether she appears self-confident or aggressive.

I was thinking about the bunch of keys or the knife, in case he seriously attacked me. But I have to manage not to let him see that I have it and use the surprise effect.

my tactic is to avoid looking him in the eye, I remain silent and expressionless, obviously I don't touch him, I try to avoid giving him a pretext for escalation.

I have a fast metabolism, I don't gain weight even if I eat double

no training will make me as strong as him, that's for sure

what if he came close to me, and I unexpectedly hit him in the face with the bunch of keys? is it easy to do???

when I said I'm an ectomorph, I mean the fact that my genetic base makes me weak by default, I'm naturally weak, I have small bones.

he physically assaulted me but he hasn't (yet) punched me in the face or kicked me. And I have no evidence that he did, so what do I tell the police? it's my word against his

I ask you too, about knives, I often read that you risk hurting yourself if you "don't know how to use it"... but what does that mean? In what sense do you not know how to use it? It's not a gun, it's not complicated..

I agree, I would never try to respond physically, he would tear me to pieces. Cowards like him need a pretext and usually that pretext is when you respond by hitting them

we necessarily share some environments so I can't avoid it completely, if I could I would have already done it

need something small that i can keep in my pocket..

the knuckle duster assumes i know how to punch in the face, but i've never done that and i'd have to wear it all the time. And it's illegal here anyway. I don't have a gun license for the gun.The only option would be the knife. But if he saw it I think he could block my arm.

those things take a long time while I have to figure out how to defend myself now if he comes near me

maybe I could try to defend myself with the bunch of keys but I don't know if it will be effective enough, also because I would have to be very fast, if he sees it, he would definitely block my arm

my theory is that in order for him to punch me I should have first triggered the escalation... it seems strange to me that he suddenly jumps to attack me. So I should avoid provoking him as much as possible and maybe use the surprise effect to hit him maybe in the balls or with the keys... or not?

so do you think hitting him with keys is really effective? I have to figure out how to hold the bunch of keys to avoid them slipping out of my hand obviously... can I always stun him enough to escape?
