A confrontation with "martial arts training" is being mindful and resting in yourself. You try to make it sound like it is behaving aggressively and ready for violence. That's the opposite of what you learn and the risk of someone behaving like this is way higher in those without martial arts training.

Besides, I bet you are fully aware that the point GP was making was that his training made him dare say something where he before wouldn't.

I train martial arts since being a small boy and no one ever called the police because of me. So I am not sure about that:

"Besides, I bet you are fully aware that the point GP was making was that his training made him dare say something where he before wouldn't. "

And I know a lot of people, bolstering their martial arts skills to impress and supress people. Once or twice I had to restrain some.

Still - repeatedly engaged talking to someone who don't wants to be talked with - can be defined as harrasment either way. And close to self justice in this case.

I know the urge for it sometimes. But .. that just means trouble.

(side note: Judo is not very effective as self defence)
