Self-Defense

This one is the most common defense against assault charges – self-explanatory. So as to prove self-defense in a case of physical attack, you have to prove –

• There was a threat of harm or force against them that caused them to behave
• There was reasonable fear They were in danger of injury
• The danger and dread came with no injury or provocation on their part

Defending Others

This is much like self-defense, except instead of the individual, fearing harm to self, is protecting someone else from potential harm. Like with self-indulgent, a reasonable cause should be present to suspect potential injury to another person.

Defending Property

Defense of property is applicable when someone assaults another person fearing harm to their property or illegal invasion of land. The law varies among countries, be certain that you consult an attorney whether it's possible to pursue this defense. 

Consent Defense

If the attack victim volunteered to take part in a certain activity, s/he can't accuse another person of attack or injuries as a result of the activity. 

But this might not hold if the act exceeded what was originally allowed. The court can still attempt to punish the offender even if the attack had consent initially.
