Scream rape rape rape rape as loud as you can and run like fuck. then if after 10 mins if they are still chasing you, stop and kill them. otherwise you are fucked.

Bruce Lee was trained by Ip Man (Yip Man?) in Wing Chun. He developed his own martial arts style which was based on Kung Fu and Wing Chun (Jeet Kune Do) and he wrote a lot of books about it. He had his own school as well which makes him an expert and professional. He was light weight so obviously his body wasn't made for MMA fighting.
"At the invitation of Ed Parker, Lee appeared in the 1964 Long Beach International Karate Championships[37] and performed repetitions of two-finger push-ups (using the thumb and the index finger of one hand) with feet at approximately a shoulder-width apart. In the same Long Beach event he also performed the "One inch punch",[38] the description of which is as follows: Lee stood upright, his right foot forward with knees bent slightly, in front of a standing, stationary partner." Without retracting his right arm, Lee then forcibly delivered the punch to his partner while largely maintaining his posture, sending the partner backwards and falling into a chair said to be placed behind the partner to prevent injury, though his partner's momentum soon caused him to fall to the floor.
The one-inch-punch is now used in Systema, a martial arts style which is developed by the Spetsnaz, Russian special forces. He was a great teacher.
