I think you did the right thing by not being goaded into a fight. You were on a school bus would have meant both of you would have ended up being punished had the driver reported you as most schools today have a zero tolerance policy against fighting.
The fact that you could not be goaded into a fight and could in essence walk away from the fight shows you are the better man. Anyone can fight someone, when fight someone will win and someone will lose. Hopefully that is the worst that will happen and no one is seriously injured. If anyone is injured then there is a host of other problems that arise; medical, legal and police involvement.
Continue to be the better man and walk away from a fight. If you feel you need to know how to defend yourself then learn to do so. But remember you only want to defend yourself if attacked, never be goaded into fight. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
hitler_the_goat answered Friday November 6 2009, 5:15 am: its simple. ball your hand into a fist, hold your arm out with your fist in line with your shoulder, retract, and extend with full force while throwing your body weight into it(while keeping your fist in line with your shoulder and your wrist straight). aim for the following targets: soalr plexus(spot just under your ribs), face(jaw in particular), and joints. fighting is not about being fair, its about doing maximum violence to a target to achieve the required behavior from the target. do not aim for the neck...you'll kill him if you land a punch on his throat. find a book on pressure points, its basically a how-to on beating the hell out of somebody. brazilian jujitsu is pretty fun if you're taking on one opponent... but I'm a big fan of bringing wrenches to fights.
now as to why you're fighting...I don't care. just whoop that ass if you feel a need to... and don't be afraid to pull out a taser or some other weapon, as long as you stop fucking him up after he hits the ground, you're good.
