Nope. I'm actually short and not very built up (although according to other people I'm a lot stronger than I look).

I just make a point of letting everybody know that I do martial arts, and I can demonstrate fancy kicks and so forth. There's also something about my posture or something that makes people think I'd be willing to kill to defend myself (which is probably true, but since I've never actually defended myself from a serious attack, I wouldn't know).

It also helps to describe what dying at my hands would feel like in great detail (for example, if I use a throat jab, your windpipe collapses, you will feel enough pain in that area to incapacitate you, your lungs will begin to burn, you will hyperventilate in an attempt to get air, your eyesight will grow dim and your brain will probably go haywire from lack of oxygen. The entire process takes as long as 5 minutes. When people hear that, they don't really want to try to see if I would actually do that to them).
