When to use violence ?

Fighting should be a last resort. Always be a bigger man and walk away, you don't know their skills or even if they have a weapon or other people around sneak up on you.

I have a conceal carry. That's one of the things I've learned from carrying, just cause I have a gun, doesn't mean I have to use it. It's only for last resort when all other options fail and my life is in danger.

Fight with your words, it's good that you can defend yourself physically, but after the age of 18 you can go to jail/prison depending on the situation.

Should I hit someone in the face if he spits at me ? If he pushes me ? If he steals something from me ?

Honestly other people might disagree but all these things completely warrant a fight. If you're confident in your abilities and that you won't get in legal trouble or they have a knife or something, yes, you should hit someone in the face for these things, except maybe pushing depending on the situation. The problem is you never really know about someone else's abilities and whether they might have a weapon or what the legal ramifications might be

Here's a rule, don't fight ever unless your life is in danger. And even then fighting shouldn't be your first response. Some dumb disagreement isn't worth going to jail or getting hurt. That's reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzNLVfSvfDc

I practiced boxing for 1 year, so I can litteraly beat up anybody that have no experience or talent or weapon when it comes to a 1 v 1.

I've got almost 10 years boxing experience. I know that it counts for very little in a street fight.

If someone assaults you, (i.e spits in your face, or pushes you aggressively) you're already in a fight, and you've already failed. Try not to focus on learning when to punch someone, try to focus on avoiding situations that require punching at all.. Use your words and body language. Don't look like a victim. Don't act like a victim. Try to see trouble before it happens.

depends on the situation. Do these people know who you are so they can report you? Do people around know? Is it a dark alley where they may bring up weapons of is it a relatively public space where they'll keep to knuckles?

you have the righ to defend yourself from harm, but every state has different laws regarding the details and every situation is different so there's no quick and easy answer.

but generally you don't want to use force unless it's necessary to prevent harm to yourself or other innocent parties. don't to escalate the level of violence to a higher level. you only use whatever force is required to end the threat of imminent harm.

if someone starts hitting you, you can hit back. but don't keep punching them to teach them a lesson if they are on the ground no longer fighting you and barely conscious.

if they pull out a gun or other deadly weapon and start shooting at you, then yes you can kill them. but if someone is just shoving you like a jackass, no don't kill them.

if someone says you're ugly or stupid or some other insult without actually threatening you, that doesn't warrant a physical response. if someone says "i'm gonna kick you ass!" and starts charging at you with their fists raised in a way that a reasonable person would feel like they are in imminent danger then it's probably ok to shove them away and kick their ass if that's what's necessary to stop the threat.

spitting on someone is legally considered battery, but you're not really in danger of physical harm (assuming it's just a bully spitting on you to be a dick and not some bath salts zombie spitting ebola blood in your face). an ordinary blob of spit isn't really going to cause physical harm, so you shouldn't respond with physical self-defense. in these types of situations its best to walk away from the conflict and report it to the proper authorities.

Use violence to subdue violence. Return your scene to serene, with no trace of danger. That's your job. Eliminate the threat. No apologies.

Too many friends I know have gotten assualt charges for bar fights. I don't care how big of a pussy I look like if its not a close friend I ain't getting in a fight in public.

Definitely scrapped with close friends but they aren't pressing charges.

I've never boxed. Ever.

I'm quite confident I could ruin your day, regardless of your amateurish 1 yr of boxing and personal claims of being better than literally anyone untrained.

Almost everyone knows something and you can't tell that by looking at them and especially you with your 1 year of boxing; careful who you pick fights with.

But, for lolz, I'll 1v1 you IRL.

Disclaimer: I have 6 years of grappling experience and I'm a purple belt in BJJ and I am quite confident your 1 year of boxing will have a minimum effect on the situation.

Check your ego and stop looking for fights.
