Boy, I'd love to be the personal injury lawyer after the fighting tactics you all describe!
For Arizona, I hope you?re well versed in Arizona Revised Statutes Title 13 Chapter 4 because depending on the threat level everything I've said can be justified by Arizona law. By using the minimal force needed to halt an attack and escalating each successive maneuver until the threat is stopped, if the person keeps coming back fully aware that you are capable of defending yourself, that person assumes all risks involved in his unlawful actions.
Just because you successfully defended yourself and won, the other person is still guilty of assault. There is also the possibility of a counter suite for the emotional distress in being forced to use such extreme tactics on another human being against your will, etc.
I am not a lawyer, but with a certain level of training and experience, knowledge of the laws regarding use of force becomes a necessity that most people who have posted here do not think about.
