that's when you use your head and not your body to fight. mike's taught me a fair bit about self defence and the trick is to see what you can use around you to fight people off. if you're clever and quick-thinking, you could even beat off the strongest people. it sounds silly but just don't panic. (i have been attacked before by the way).
That said, most people wouldn't react quickly enough to use self-defence, and keeping calm is easier said than done in these situations.
One main thing is that there are certain areas that hurt a lot when you hit them (I'm sure you're thinking of the main one now :P ) so we tend not to go for them when playfighting... but if you were attacked I'm sure you wouldn't mind going for the nuts! (Or kidneys/temples/jugular)
