Yes,i could say i'm very strong,i sure can defend myself,even tho I haven't gotten into many fights. I'm more of a pacifist and one of the most non-violent person you'll ever see,i don't engage in fights and tend not to hit people,especially annoying troublemakers because of of my strength and what i can do to them and most people are kind of intimidated by my huge stature. since i'm like a 6 footer and weigh 262 pounds.
