Should you fight them or should you walk away?
Depends what you mean by "challenges". If you're talking about a grade school "I'll see you on the playground" challenge, then I would just ignore it.
If you're talking about an attack where you're forced to defend yourself, then it depends on the attack. If it's life threatening, then shoot him.
If it's not, then just beat the tar out of him.
What if the person is a foot taller and 100 lbs more? Unless you're a trained fighter you're not going to have much of a chance.
It depends on the reason.
When I was 12 years old, I was with my mother and grandmother in the Walmart parking lot when a grown man walked up to us and spat on my grandma while saying "I hate you F***ing N*****s". Yes, it was exactly that random and out of the blue.
Despite that man being a full grown man who outweighed me by an easy 100 pounds I started towards him when both my mom and grandma held me back saying, "No baby, it's okay". I obviously stood no chance but it didn't matter to me, I wanted to kill him and if I died in the process so be it.
Contrast that with what happened to me the other month. I'm standing in line at a burger joint and this young hothead 20-something bumps into me rudely while cutting in line and looks me in the face and says, "What, what you gonna do?"
Now, I had two inches and 75 lbs on this kid and unknown to him, I've spent my entire teen and young adult life boxing and doing martial arts. I could have easily put this kid in the hospital. But I'm not going to hurt some hotheaded young punk over my place in line. So, I just motioned with my hand, "go right ahead". He turns around and says, "That's what I thought". I just rolled my eyes and let it go.
There are circumstances in which fighting to resolve a conflict is legitimate and there are times when it is just not worth it.
Someone calls me a name, big deal, whatever.
Someone calls my mom a name and I will rip your head off and play basketball with it.

what did Jesus do, and/or say to do, when His disciple wanted to hurt or kill someone ?
