In the eyes of the law, if you feel you are in danger you can use "reasonable force" to defend yourself. The Karate instructor only took one shot and kept the PIMP from striking him.

Had he continued to beat the guy down and pummel him then he would be in trouble.

Ok, was always curious about the legal considerations of reacting in such a situation. While the PIMP did not actually attack him I suppose the karate expert could say he felt he was in danger for whatever reason when the PIMP got up in his face or maybe the PIMP said something to him to indicate impending harm. Anyway, funny video!
