I trained Muay Thai for six years. Did coaching of fighters. A bunch of stuff like that. Never competed because I didn't want to get CTE but could've. Been in a bunch of situations that could've ended in violence but thankfully it never came to that.
But anyway, the best advice is to do anything you can to not fight. Fighting outside of a controlled environment is stupid. You don't know if he's got buddies that will shank you. You don't know if he's got a gun or knife. You don't know if you'll get sued. There's a lot of crap that can happen that isn't just fighting. Don't fight.
Another thing is that you can be the most calm, cool, collected person and think you know what to do. However, you get into that fight or flight situation, that will probably go all out the window when the adrenaline kicks in. Unless you have the muscle memory to do exactly what you should do, you probably won't do the correct thing even if you know what it is. Also, fighting is extremely exhausting.
Take up a martial art like Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ, etc.. and don't read about self defense on the internet. You gotta train that shit or it won't do any good.

Carry a BB gun. Use it to rain down rapid suppressive fire on your aggressor. Then, have a CO2 repeating air pistol. Use that to give yourself space to use a double-barreled shotgun to defend yourself rightly.
Ask the McMichaels about that. Better to just be black.
I never go outside and keep my door locked. Checkmate.
why punch for the hardest target? first water his eyes with a nose punch,get a good livershot in and then go for the sides of neck/balls and throat. If you don't accept that you should aim to seriously injure someone, you should just not be fighting in the first place. Run or bitch out if that is the case.

head is not a hard target unless you try and punch it from the back (which doesn't happen in self defense scenario)
from the front, aim for the head = punch in the face. nose, mouth, eyes, those are all good and soft targets.
Would have to disagree. You hit the forehead you break your fist oft-times. Eyes are for gouging/poking. Mouth is a bad target every time. Teeth/AIDS etc
Yell "That's my purse!" and immediately kick their genital area swinging your leg up in a perfect 90-degree angle. If needed, follow by a second kick, or if being grappled from the back, swing a backfist down to their crotch and say the phrase "I don't know you!"
May I suggest you start autistically screeching?
And by that I mean something like this:
Alternatively you can begin vomitting, shitting/pissing yourself while smiling at the guy who wants to fight you, and with a bit of that vomit on your chin, begin telling him how much you love him.
This will clear the entire fucking street and you will win the fight.

I used to hitchhike a fair bit. Often dickheads would pull over about 400 ft ahead of you and sqeal off when you sprinted up to the car. At which point you fire that tire weight in your pocket at their car. One time they screached to a stop and 3 big fuckers got out. I started screaming at the top of my lungs and ran right for them. Must've freaked them out, as the got back in and drove off. They would have fucking killed me. LOL.

Enviormental awerness is the best self defense strategy. Boxing? BJJ? Muay Thai? MMA? Great sports, but wont make you inmune to a bullet or a knife. Do MMA, they should teach how to grapple and how to throw a punch if you need to and its fun, the actual solution is avoiding the fight. Knowing where not to go, learning when to run, learning to control your ego so you dont escalate a situation, learning to give up on material objects, and, of course, learning when there is no other option but to throw down. If your aim is self defense, want to train a martial arts and are limited in your options, avoid all systems that dont have full contact sparring. My judo training was sport based, but it helped save my life because it teached me how to keep calm in a physical confrontational situation.
Practice falling back and controlling your landing. Learning how to land is the most important skill second only to avoiding/softeneing a head blow.
Get sandbags/anything loose and heavy; try lifting them from weird angles like on the ground from different body parts (gets you used to controlling weight shifts).
Do accessory lifts to strengthen shoulder joints as well as pushup+s to strengthen the serratus anterior making punches stronger.
Situational awareness is hard to teach, but a krav maga gym could be a good place to start considering the training methods they employ are usually based on aggression and chaos and how to familiarize your mind with the situation of being "in danger" or "attacked". It isn't glamorous like BJJ because krav maga is about gtfo asap. But if you prefer MT, BJJ, MMA, or whatever else, those are fine too. There's no wrong way to defend yourself.

In a self defense situation fear can be either your worst obstacle or greatest ally.
Thank you for the reminder real ultimate power existed. I popped like 19 boners and was like "sick bro!"
Pretty much what he said. As someone who has done Muay Thai & Taekwondo for about nearly a decade and got into fights. Only fight when it's the last thing you've got left out of any other options. They got a Knife? You run, They got friends? You run. Any experienced martial arts instructor will tell you this from the get go because even if you do gain the advantage in a fight, you might be liable to get sued and arrested (And in countries like UKuck, this is no doubt a problem for many people defending themselves.)
Knew someone who left the pub in a drunk state by himself. Trained in Kickboxing and possibly had some Police/Military training. Got targeted by Two English Trainee Soldiers who came here and started assaulting him in the street because they saw an easy target. Guy got hit a lot from kicks and punches which require a lot of stitches. He got a grab of one of them and slam him down along with him into the ground, proceed to punch and elbow the fucker while the other guy was trying to get him off by punching and grabbing and didn't stop. The other rookie ran away once the guy he targeted stood up and other people from the pub (Including an off-duty police officer) nearby heard and came rushing down.
Best idea is to always avoid fights even if that means having to lose something like personal belongings or go another way to reach your destination. But in the scenario that you get targeted for assault, you get out of there and run into areas that have people around them or somewhere you can lock them out. In the scenario that you can't run because of factors prohibiting you (Drunkness, state of health, cornered with nowhere to go etc etc.) Self defence and martial arts experience (Proper martial arts and self-defence techniques you learned, trained and use frequently to use on others and yourself mind and not ones you got from a mcdojo or a youtube video) will help and the main thing to do is to never fight fair and use anything as they won't hesitate to do the same to you if they want to beat you to death or stab you.
Also really, really recommend you do not go on the ground at all and don't bother grappling if there is more than one assaulter. Adrenaline will also be a factor like Hulk said and Adrenaline can keep someone going despite having multiple stab wounds or gunshots so even with proper experience, you never guaranteed your safety in a fight. Always run. Better to be a coward and live than be brave and die.
Also, never underestimate the power of a good elbow strike. Powerful enough to cause cuts, KOs and even seizures.
