You can always be driven into a fight, where the other person(s) start it and you have to get out of there.
I myself don't have many techniques. The few I do know, are from experience in Scouts, although I know the actual name of my favourite one: the Boshiken. This one's basically that you put your thumb between index finger and middle finger, locking those fingers in the joint of your thumb, so that it protrudes, but won't bend. The trick now, is to just hit. Officially, you have to hit between bone structures, like between ribs, or between armbone and biceps. Personally, I find those too hard to aim for in real combat. Instead, aim for the bigger weak spots that way: Stomach, neck, etc.
Another one's a quick thing to learn too, but I'd have to show you. Saying "The blade of your arm" won't tell you anything, unless I can show it to you. Here goes anyways:
When you've gotten behind your opponent, put the blade of your arm agains his throat while putting your knee in his lower back. Keep pushing your knee forward while pulling your arm in until you feel the center of weight of your opponent's shifted entirely. Then let go and... opponent to the floor.
Aside from this, there're two basic guidelines:
1) Keep a good stance: E.g. Knees bent slightly, one foot in front of the other.
2) Never hit and retreat upon contact. Always hit and keep going.
