The other night I (25F) got into a physical confrontation with a homeless man while walking to dinner with my girlfriend. I’m wondering if I responded appropriately? Basically we were walking down the sidewalk of an empty street when this man- clearly drunk or high out of his mind locked eyes with me and walked up on me somewhat aggressively. When I felt that he got too close to us (within arms reach) I put out my hand and shoved him in the chest. He stumbled back, but was still standing in front of me so I shoved him again at which point he stumbled into a street sign and started to walk in another direction. Should I have been more aggressive right off the bat? Or was this an appropriate reaction? I have pretty extensive experience in self defense and kickboxing but I’ve never had to put it to use in real life
