The best defense is your mind.  Stay out of situations where the temper would escalate to violence.  If you use words and your brain, you can get out of almost any bad situation without coming to blows.  \n\nIf you absolutely *have* to defend yourself from imminent physical assault, remember that the law favors even-handed responses, meaning don't defend yourself with a deadly weapon unless you're threatened with one.
whats the best way to defend ourself?
