As i've discussed in my older blog posts, you may come across martial artists who intend on hurting you. It's important that you learn how to defend yourself against martial art bullies. This self defense guide will give you some essential tips on evading or defeating a martial artist in a street fight. It's important to note that you should have some basic hand-to-hand combat skills. Otherwise, it will be much more difficult to take down a martial artist. With that in mind, here are several tips on defense against martial artists.
* Fight with uttermost aggression - If you come across having to defend yourself by fighting a martial artist, you need to be as aggressive as possible. Attack at full force and speed. Chances are, most martial artists do not know how to deal with an aggressive and outright violent attacker. This is because they typically train in a calm and controlled environment against other compliant martial artists. If you can attack a martial artist with overwhelming force, you will eventually land a few hits and probably stress him or her out.
* Fight dirty - Many martial artists train with rules such as point systems or forbidden moves during sparring. Nine times out of ten, they won't know how to defend against dirty fighting tactics. In fact, they might even be taught to avoid them and that's their weakness. Be as brutal and as ruthless as you can be. Headbutt, eye gouge, bite, use improvised weapons, the environment, etc. If a martial artist puts you in an armbar, bite down on the calf muscles as hard as you can. Use dirt, sand, glass, and other means of blinding the martial artist as you attack. Do as much damage as you can.
* Learn how to deal with high kicks - One of the key factors in determining whether or not you survive an attack by a martial artist is taking advantage of high kicks. Kicking high takes alot of time and compromises an attacker's balance. When a martial artist kicks high, close the gap between you and your attacker then knock him or her balance. You could trap the leg and land a stomp kick to the rear leg. You could also evade the kick and counter-attack with a kick to the rear leg. There's several ways of dealing with high kicks. This video gives insights on dealing with high kicks.
* Take the martial artist off balance - The key in defeating a martial artist or any fighter is taking away balance. When faced with a Wing Chun fighter for example, he or she is vulnerable to takedowns and grappling. Once the martial artist is on the ground, his or her striking power is almost useless.

Not a damned thing but a little pain I would guess flinch response isn't enough I don't think, I've bitten a couple people in my day and it is shocking to the person I'll admit both times the aggressor was put off by this took all the fight outta them.. BUT neither had me in an arm bar bitting has its uses but I still think the dude would break your arm most grapplers have a good deal of pain tolerance and unless you're literally biting chunks outta the guy he's going to snap your arm
In every ghetto and favela in all the major cities of the world, from NYC to Rio De Janeiro there are strong healthy young men who HAVE NEVER been inside of a boxing school or a martial arts academy YET THEY FIGHT EVERY DAY in order to survive and without a doubt they would be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS for any Black Belt martial artist to face. Personally I would bet my money on such a streetfighter because they know what all out vicious brutality is and they have almost certainly fought to the death, so they have no qualms about taking life by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
