you didn't do too bad. martial art won't help much in tight space. but it might help you with reaction time. you just need to fight dirty, and fight fast and walk away..

use your head.. i mean, use your head. in tight space, best bet is to ram your rock hard skull against your attackers nose area. good amount of blood flowing out of his nose will freak'em enough to stop them in most situation or give enough time to do more damage to the attacker. other good option is your elbow. elbow to the face is much better than the fist to the face. also your knee. knee to the balls, or rib cage does good amount of damage. biting works very well. also ear. ear is rather weak point. you can rip it off easy and that really freaks most people out. also don't forget that attaker's knee can be kicked in rather easy. it can with stand only about 30 lbs of force or so.

fight dirty, fight fast, and fight mean as possible. crazier you look, better it will be for you. you need to do things that will freak them out and will stop them from coming after you. of cource, all bet's off if they have a gun.

don't forget kiai.. yell, and yell loud.. keep yelling through out the whole thing.. really makes you look nutty.
