Dodge it and then slam the motherfucker in his lung and then left hook (or right, depending which arm you used first) to his head.

Lung as in side, you won't actually be able to hit his lung

You will if you try hard enough.

i wish that were the case, in Washington state you have to make an effort to run away even if they are beating the crap out of you. the only time it is self defense is if your cornered and they are trying to kill you
