I've seen it done and it looks pretty intense. Thankfully I have never done it or had to do it myself. I had a friend at school who used this "tactic" on one occasion. There was a guy in our year who was the classic popular, mean, annoying boy who picked on everyone who wasn't "cool". Well one day he picked on her. They were out on the soccer field and he was poking fun at her in a mean way, name calling and stuff. Well she wasn't having it, she chased him round the field and when she grabbed him she slapped him. He was an asshole and slapped her back, and she didn't think twice, she PUNCHED him in the groin, HARD. Needless to say he respected her after that and never messed with her again! We were only about 14 so she was (and is) a tough cookie, even though she's a mere 5 foot 4" and petite.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
