I see you are a descendant of the Ottomans. Of course, you can beat up guys, no doubt. I haven't gotten into fights but I have been in provoking situations. I remember I was walking into a supermarket, and before the gates there was this ethnic wanna-be tough guy. He saw me but he didn't move away so I could pass... so I purposefully pushed him away with my shoulder. He didn't say anything though.
The other day, some dude hit my foot while I was on a bike and he had a scooter, also an ethnic wanna-be tough guy. I hit the brakes and I keep staring at the guy for like 10 seconds before he said "Sorry bro" and I was like "No problem." Had he given me a big mouth, it'd probably have escalated to a fistfight. His friends were nearby. (And so were mine, but I didn't see them until I wanted to cycle further afterwards. I know they'd have my back.)
