why would you go and talk to him? his friends werent around then, but im sure he hasnt cut all ties with them.
also, where i come from, wrestlingkaratewhatever, we value intelligence. an intelligent person realizes that names and verbal abuse is nothing, and that taking on five guys alone is idiotic.

Wow...I've always thought Martial Arts helped me feel more secure in who I am...I don't have to prove to anyone else what I can do because <b>I</b> know I can do it...
What happened to fighting outside of class for self defense purposes only? A verbal attack is far from a physical attack, and were I a judge seeing the case of you 'assaulting' 5 guys (which I don't care who you are, that's stupid b/c you don't know what kinds of weapons they may have, especially if the place you live is actually as rough as you make it sound), I'd find you guilty of assault...I don't believe name-calling is illegal...Besides, as a martial artist, we are to practice self control. If I went out beating up everyone who called me names or said something not nice about me, I'd probably be like, the Godmother or something...  (not really, just trying to make a point, I just don't get to know people like that so they can't get to know me...  )
IMHO, It takes a bigger person to just walk away.

I dont think you should have even went up and talked to him, but to answer you question if he attacked you, only after you saying something to him then he would be at fault. Unless ofcourse he could prove that your verbal speach put fear into him. Him being a male and you a female is going to make a bit of a difference and harder for him to try and prove something like that. But in the situation you explained here he would most likely be at fault, even if you said a few threatining statements, unless of course your a complete crazy and went off the wall while talking to him and he feard his life so much that he had to hall of and defend himself hahahahahahahahahha its TRUE

my abilities have grown since then. i think the only reason that i aproched him in the first place was that i doubted my own abilities.
i have had no problems with them since though. i havent even seen them play basketball in the area that i was verbally assulted. they used to play there all the time.
what i did probly scared him. after all i am a little bigger than him, i approched him while he was in his car outside his home and in front of his dad. his dad was too far away to hear what i had said so he could have lied about what i said and could have claimed i was a friend he was talking to.

i like your saying, i have nearly 20 instructors between my 2 MA's and i really have had only 2 instructors, one in Tae Kwon Do and one in jujitsu that have acted as a guide and prompted me to be more than what the art had to offer.

| But through the many years of martial art training, one develops martial art discipline. Small verbal threats are not taken in offense. |

I agree with White Warlock and 47MartialMan. When you reach a certain level in martial arts, or rather a certain point in life, you realize the power is knowing that you can.
It's good that you walked away when you did without saying anything, as you demonstrated that you have power over them. I think throughout the time you made your original post and when you replied above that you learned this.
Still, at least you didn't resort to violence off hand, as some may have. At least that shows some control.

Yeah. Best idea though, is to follow the 4 pt code.
Avoide
Evade
Escape
Attack
Sensei says there's a good reason attack is last. I'd have to agree.
