always try to de-escalate, but while you're de-escalating think how you would go about taking him out if he tries anything.

I've been thinking that the best way to open a fight would be with an upward palm heel strike to the nose. If you are facing each other and the fight is imminent. Just throw it out without warning using he element of surprise. That could end a fight in one strike. VERY painful and bloody for the recipient. If you take your own palm and firmly press against the area above the upper lip, it's very sensitive to pressure.
