hey whaddya know, emre disagrees with me.
but really he doesn't. this, emre, is a perfect example of what i would consider "fighting". sure you were defending yourself. but let's say you fail to adequately defend yourself. you're not going to be dead or in the hospital for 6 months. similar situations are most barfights and trading blows with your buddy because you ****ed the girl he liked. it's just good old-fashioned fisticuffs, nothing to pee your pants about.
for all that, martial arts are great. save yourself a black eye or a chipped tooth while looking cool as hell in the process. if you're willing to pay 90 bucks a month for that, then more power to ya.
the difference should be obvious. if you would look stupid for running away (like with the guy in the car accident), it's probably fighting. if you would look stupid for staying, it's probably bona fide self defense.
