My brother wash bashed in his late teens by a mob - not too badly hurt luckily but since then he's got into judo and grown into a 6 foot 4 man - now he doesn't run! He actually prefers to be backed into a corner where he can take them one at a time and dislocate as many joints as possible -

I do think it's only a matter of time before guys like the ones who bashed you run into someone who hurts them. Someone like you or my brother who already know what they're about and what to do.
In all honesty, I was already doing boxing (just training), the fact is I was 60 kgs with little muscle mass or strength. These guys were pretty friking built. Like, one of them probably would of beaten me one-on-one at that time, but they didn't do it like that, they had two of them and hit me in the back of the head first.
So I was stunned, didn't know what was happening, and yeah they went 'all out' on me. Woke up in hospital, intensive care unit.
I did boxing about 12 months after that, competition wise.
Nowdays if it happened again, I would try talk it out and if that didn't work, would use the boxing skills only enough to defeat them. I wouldn't do what they did to me, I have a better heart then that, haha.
