Sammy tries to stay away from violence but if someone insults Sammy enough then Sammy will stand up for Sammy's self

For example, today a guy was making fun of Sammy's PokeWalker, hair, 3D glasses and otaku-ness and Sammy couldn't stand for it. He ended up with a pretty bad nosebleed, courtesy of Sammy

I did karate for a couple of years when I was about eight or nine but then my parents couldn't afford it anymore and I never went back to doing it. I'd like to learn karate, but seeing I'm a uni student as of early next year I don't think I'll have enough money to pay for it (because uni students generally live on the poverty line in regards to money).

I've been in a fair number of fights in my time, but it isn't often that I've had to really defend myself.

When you're 6'1 and built like a viking, it isn't too often that someone threatens you physically :)

Edit: Though since I shaved my beard, I've found that a lot fewer people cower at the sight of me D:

I don't get into fights, so I have little need for self defense. I still know enough street-style dirty tactics to gain the upper hand long enough to make an escape if I'm not overwhelmed though, which is all that matters.

I generally tend to be able to outsmart people before it comes to violence though, and I'm fairly good at avoiding it in general so I've been lucky enough to never really need serious self defense. That being said, I'd only begin defending myself if I felt the attacker meant true harm and kept attacking. I can absorb a blow or two in getting away or de-escalating a situation, but more than that does call for defense in my opinion.
