I am a peaceful guy in general unless it comes to "your mom" jokes on Sherdog. Last time I really got in a fight was back in first year in university.
So I had firearm safety exam scheduled (here in Russia a person needs to pass it to get a license to own a gun) and the shooting academy is located in the historical center of Moscow where there are a lot of tiny cuved streets with weird building numeration. Of course I couldn't find shit, the shematics on their site were bullshit (they instructed me to go straight through a building's corner and into it's center lol) so I used my samsung pad for navigation tips.
Then this weird meth head-looking guy with a pendulum in his hand comes straight to me and swings the pendulum in front of me. He had mad eyes and was really unkempt, with scratches on the face and a bit dirty clothes. I asked what did he want, he replied with some mumbling, so I went about 5 meters away and called the academy for tips on how the fuck to find them, the time was closing for my exam. So i am there with a pad in one hand and phone in the other, talking to the operator and the meth head pendulum swinger comes to me again, this time getting in my face and pushing me and leaning to me. I told him to fuck off and shove him away with my elbow, and walk away about 10 meters fast, shove the pad into my bag but keep talking to the girl on the phone.
My gut told me something was off so I put the phone in my left hand and turned around only to see the meth head running to me swearing and cursing loudly with a rather exquisite arsenal of Russian rude words. Then the fucker jumps to me like a damn Bruce Lee trying to deliver a flying knee (I suppose? Hell knows what did that looney think. It looked like it anyways).
Of course him being a looney instead of Bruce Lee resulted in ill timing and distance, so I caught him with my free hand in mid-air and threw him over the hip on the concrete. When he rolled from the throw (continuing to swear and grunt loudly) he ended up in a sitting position and when he tried to get up and jump at me again I side-kicked him in the grill, delivering the fight-ending blow.
I went light with the kick because I feared the looney would bash his head on the concrete pavement and die on me, but it was enough for him to remain seated and not continue fighting.
I went away and after finally finding the entrance proceeded to pass my exam successfully.
Was it correct to beat him? I feel a bit weird about it - he certainly is a crazy agressive douche, but I don't really like beating random people anyways.
TL;DR version:
- last time got in a fight 10 years ago
- was going to an exam needed for firearm posession and got lost
- got unwanted attention from a looney/crackhead severely intruding my persional space
- tried to avoid conflict
- got attacked with kung-fu-esque flying knee of doom
- used lethal sambo skills, won by KO via leg kick to the head in RD 1 while still talking on the phone
- feel controversial about the whole situation
