Rhodes, I leave it to your perusal of my previous posts to determine whether I think people have a right to defend themselves where life or property is seriously in jeopardy. In this case, my original post pointed out that the guy had options. He did not need to punch her. What he did was reprehensible, made more so because of her gender. No, he did not need to hit her. A woman slapping a man is not adequate reason for him to punch her. The original post points out that in the end, the woman was bloodied and the man unscathed. So, yeah, he escalated the violence from a slap to a punch. Now, let's look at the other circumstances involved.... a guy walks into a sex club that caters to femdom kink wearing a schoolboy outfit. Its not a stretch to assume he is kind of looking for domination of some stripe or color. Another poster pointed out that had the woman simply said..... "awe, have you been a naughty boy?" or some such thing, the guy might well have played into it. What the woman did was idiotic, but one can understand why she assumed he was a likely "play-partner". His life was not in jeopardy, his property was not in question. All that happened was that his pride was hurt and his anger was up. As for your fighting advice, I don't know your background. I will say though that most of what you say is great in theory, and always applicable in Hollywood. In real life.... when a 96 pound guy goes up against a 200 pound guy, the 96 pounder loses. When two guys attack one, the one loses. Ten years of study in karate can account for fifty pounds of difference in a fight. Six years of karate will get your ass kicked in a real fight (I know, its not that way in Hollywood). In Hollywood, any woman can kick any man's ass. In real life, it just doesn't work that way. Even in karate tournaments, people are classed by size and weight. Another thing about all this woo-shoo stuff. I know that the military teaches a certain amount of martial arts to troops (mostly to build confidence) and that people make a ton of money teaching woo-shoo to kids who think they are going to learn to beat up the school bully with it. In real life, though, it isn't the panacea lots of guys think it is. Bear in mind that in every case, barring none, when a martial army has gone to war against a conscripted one, the martial army has lost. Witness here the Samurai rebellion of the nineteenth century and the boxer rebellion of the twentieth. I am not suggesting that it isn't a great thing to learn martial arts, it is. But if you want to win a fight, a real fight, taking a couple years of karate lessons isn't going to help much. Spend that time pumping iron and eating steaks and get some bulk on you and it will go a lot further in a real fight. Speed and agility, in an actual fight, are not of much use once some guy has you slammed up against a wall and is bashing your skull into the concrete. The Saracens were big on speed and agility in the crusades.... and they never won a battle against the heavily armored crusaders unless they outnumbered them about fifteen to one. Even then, they frequently lost. Finally, and I say this because you are a man who appears to be a decent sort, it is NOT okay to hit a woman. If she has a gun or even a knife, then, well all bets are off. If she is some amazonian monster, then maybe. Aside from that, no, only a coward hits a woman (unless its consensual).
