Getting in a fight can also have non-legal consequences. If you get in a fight at work, it can easily get you fired, and getting in a fight on campus can easily get you expelled as well.

Interesting. I didn't know about this. Thank you for sharing ;o

man self defence laws are retarded if someone even touches you trying to hurt you you should have the right to kill them

Javid Bencosme says:

how often do people call the cops in a street fight or after a fight? and do cops actually take these cases seriously? what would the cop do if someone called him on you because you slapped somebody? I get the feeling the cop would just calm the situation and leave

I'm a fan and a subscriber. Shane I wanna know the benefits of wearing a winter hat with a t shirt in sunny weather. in one of your videos you wore that wool ski cap with no shirt…I always wanted to know why guys like you did this. or is it just to look fly?

MarxWM says:

Here in brazil: you can kill the person and then sue them for dying. "too free a country".

Joel Gutierrez says:

does this apply if a girl tries to hurt you

Iman Khormali says:

Eh , my right?
I live in iran so if someone attacks you and you punch him in the face , attacker can sue you that you punched him in the face and get free insurance money.

wat about self defence in school? what won't get you excluded but the bully away from u?

Bandit King says:

What if I'm a small guy and 3 guys almost twice my size both in terms of height and weight charges at me? The kicking/punching/grappling forces of these guys, especially their combined firepower is beyond overwhelming from my perspective. Could I fight with max power and technique in such a case? Or should I be worrying about the law and let them potentially kill me, if not injure me very badly? I cannot stress one point enough. My regular punches and kicks just may not have enough power to take three guys twice my size down.

The way I see it a Black belt, a Gun license, a good criminal defense attorney, and a right state of mind like Bruce Lee then you'll be alright.

Luís Gallo says:

Great video and great info, thanks alot ! =)
too bad for the wind but yeah =P

Tens of DU says:

I'm no pro in fact I'm weak and even if the law says I have to use the same amount of force I'm going to try to use more. I can't try to retaliate using equal methods only to have them pull out a gun from nowhere and gain the upperhand on me, when I should have used maximum non-lethal force from the start. I recommend everyone else do the same, I don't see how I could be wrong…But I could be. I'd rather face jail than lose my life to some thug because I didn't pull out a knife before they did.

chilltown majors says:

self defense is illegal in new york city even if you not an aggressior in protecting yourself you will be charged

Corey Wason says:

I was attacked so I hit back with reason able force and the police lady involved tried to give me into trouble and I said in the law you are aloud to hit someone back with reasonable force and she was speechless
