Dude, you utterly can't handle yourself in a fight, you just think you can. And this reads more like somebody who watches martial arts instead of actually doing them.

throat punches are way too dangerous to use unless you are in serious danger. I use them, because I'm the 130 pound dude dealing with a much bigger guy, and I make certain witness see him throw the first punch. And, even then, I pull it, by using the web between thumb and hand.

And, kicks to the knee are super easy to pull off. It's why they are banned in sparring and tournaments. for somebody with tae kwon do training, leaving yourself wide open to a beginner kick is pretty sad.
