It would be easier to prove you intended on blinding the person with acid then it would be a stray finger
So, depending on the jurisdiction, the kind of techniques you use for self defense can indeed get you in serious (bodily) trouble, even if in the heat of the moment they seem justified. For that reason I think it always makes sense in a self defense situation to use the least amount of force necessary, as opposed to t43 d34dly.

Keep in mind some of these countries still stone women for showing skin.

she didn't defend herself, she had posthumous justice.

It's easier to show a jury "watch this video, this is what we do in Judo, nonlethal standing and ground grappling, throws, chokes, and holds", as opposed to the opponent showing the jury a video of your "ninja training" and pointing out how your instructors say "pop their eyeballs out, pull out their tongue, step on it, rip their face off, then check to see if they are dead enough yet." (Kata Dan-te anyone?)
I will go with Judo for most self defense situations unless I truly feel I need to try to kill my attacker, which would be an ultra rare situation, in my neck of the woods. I'd rather have the PD show up with me standing over a passed out attacker than me standing over some bloody mess with missing eyeballs and claiming "IT WAS SELF DEFENSE!!!!! I SWEAR!!!"Last edited by W. Rabbit; 11/22/2010 3:33pm, .

Turns out the guy on the receiving end hadn't tapped because he didn't have any concept of what a tap-out was. Seems obvious now, but in the heat of the moment, the guy doing the lock didn't realise. So what the cops saw when they arrived was a guy who had just broke somebody's arm (look back at that definition of mayhem, see what it says about that) and was now choking him to death. They were not impressed, to say the least.

Originally posted by CrackFox View PostM Tripp or Aaron Fields, or someone else on here used to tell a story about one of their guys getting involved in a domestic where they ended up single legging a guy, taking mount and then going for some kind of arm lock. They didn't get a tap, so they switched to a choke. Then the cops bust in.

All "disabilities" are not necessarily synonymous with mayhem. In order for you to be convicted of mayhem for "disabling" a member of a person’s body, you must do more than slightly or temporarily disable that body part.5
Example: Defendant somehow broke the victim’s ankle during the course of raping her. The California Court of Appeal ruled that because the victim’s broken ankle took over six months to heal, it qualified as a sufficient "disability" under Penal Code 203 PC.6
