Well first off, congragulations on surviving.
Now, onto the important stuff. Why on Earth would you pull someone into your guard in a street fight if given a choice (which it sounds like you had)????? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Good thing you took his back instead.
Secondly, why did you even let it escalate to a fight? If you had your buddies and one guy jumps out of the car, why didn't you all step surround him or jump him, or all collectively get the hell out there? Or one of your friends go grab a weapon or something. It just sounds like this whole altercation put you in danger and/or could have been avoided.
Its great that your skills got you out of a bad situation. And it has to feel great that you could actually use your training in real life. But, like any street altercation, this one could have turned bad real, real fast. You pull the guy into your guard. He pulls a knife and shanks you. You're dead. You get on the guys back working for an armbar, rear-naked, what have you. His buddy gets out from the car with a pistol and shoots you. You're dead. I'm only pointing these things out because I think fighting for real should be saved as a very last option. People that randomly jump out of cars to fight you are unpredictable characters to say the least. I'd say the best strategy is to run like hell. I'd rather swallow a little pride and run like a bitch than get shanked on the street by some drunk calling me a fag. So again, congragulations on living and coming out on top even, but just keep in mind next time a guy jumps out of the car to attack you that he might have a weapon and that his buddies might jump in on it too.
