The guys who wanted to beat me up seemed to think I had an unfair advantage. It didn't seem to register that there was two of them, they were about half my age and both had beer bottles. Bullies don't care about a fair fight.

No. Unless you're a trained knife fighter, statistically you have a higher chance of injuring yourself as much or more than the other person.

Best to kick/knee them in the crotch and then gtfo of there. If they're too close, use the hardest bone in your body to stun them by head butting them right in the nose. If you're going to get hurt, you may as well get hurt hurting them worse.

These are all tips I learned at a one day self defence class my mother made me take when I was a young teenager.

the best defense is to not be there. learn to see danger coming before danger sees you. adopt a "thousand yard stare."
