Kicking is not a valuable tool, it puts you off balance and requires extensive warming up and loose clothes as well as good shoes and floor. Punching is the best and simplest tool to brake someone's face. It requires extensive training and talent to do it the right way. Most big juiced up monsters stand a better chance than some geek who thinks he can fight. People who can really fight are very rare. To be sure use your brain and judgement then you won't need to fight. And just in case there is no escape carry a gun if possible.
Ive never been in a real fight. Had a couple kids push me around once or twice growing up, but i was never the type that felt i wasnt a man because of it. Would i like to know how i handle myself in a situation like that...of course. But, im fine with not either. Careers/lives can get RUINED if a serious accident happens or you accidentally cause someone to be paralyzed. I aint fucking with that.
Always makes me think when i see two animals fighting at a bar or something. Either they have nothing to loose (no job, life, house, etc). Or they lack the mental ability to think of the consequences. America now days is not 1950 anymore, and Its definitely not the UK where you can get in a fight at a pub with no cop involvement
