I couldn't protect someone

2 years ago at christmas I was with my godson's family on the bus and I was sitting next to the mother. She asked a guy behind is if he could be more quiet because the baby is sleeping and the guy started to yell back and harrassing her by words. I totally freezed and couldn't say a word. after a bit of time the father of the kid started to talk back who was sitting a few seats away. They started to yell with eachother and after a few minutes the guy hold back himself so there wasn't an actual fight.

when I was teen I got beat up a few times and later I was learning krav maga and thai box. I don't know how I could find in a real scenario, I want to think if he would have hit the father or the mother I would have been able to get in and fight back, but the verbal attack I couldn't do anything. I feel ashamed of freezing and it was 2 years ago and it's still with me. That time I was in a difficult part of my life and I was tired physically and mentally and I want to think also that was the reason, but I don't know. Now I am in a good period of life where I don't stress much, I started to do dancing where I have to lead and I am building my masculinity, but I don't know if it would happen again, then I would act differently.

What do you think, what should I do to improve my reactions in these situations and how should I get over what happened 2 years ago?
