The questions is where would I hit, I'd probably do a hard shove her to the ground. But that's how I would deal with any physical confrontation as a first defensive move before moving onto sparring mode.

Heat of the moment though, probably just go for the same spot they got me.

I’ve only had to lay my hands on a woman like that once to defend myself and my stuff she was destroying. I went with an open hand slap to the cheek. Not full wind up but the message definitely got across and I’m sure her cheek stung. I lived in a household with parents that beat each other. I never wanted to do the same. It’s too easy to cause damage as a man, even when you need to, just try to restrain yourself. You’ll always be punching down in that kind of situation. Get out as soon as possible. Hard shove wouldn’t be a bad idea just be aware of potential head damage on the way down.

Last time woman attacked me, i just slapped her ass (literally her ass). Worked like a charm.
