To use force in order to defend ourselves, guaranteeing our survival under a clear and present danger may be unavoidable: personal defence implies the use of force in all cases. But this does not mean that we have to sue only our force or strength.
To assume that the more force we have, the better chances of defending ourselves are is a false equation. Instead, the better we use that strength, the higher our chances of surviving the fight will be. Force or strength are not just physical entities: they include also the ability to turn will into practice, the strength of our adversary or enemy, the elements that surround as and indeed, weapons, if we have them.
To start a fight just using our verbal abilities is a clear example of the use of this strength, measured in broad terms: in this case, the person who starts a fight is dominating the other with a superior verbal force.
The important thing is then, not to have or use brute force, but to manage it; applying it when necessary, attracting the force of the enemy, and taking advantage of it wherever it may be present, in order to win. These factors are better used as the fighter increases his or her training, wisdom, technique and style; but you should also count wit and intelligence, perception and emotional balance in this particular equation.
Experience will then be the single-most important aspect of adequate close quarters combat techniques. Many martial arts teach this, such as in the case of Judo, which takes advantage of the strength and force of the adversary in order to win. It may be difficult to learn these skills, but it is not impossible.
