i find it best to keep it all above board before you have to break something.
and remember the word 'resonable', punching him in the face, breaking his nose and restraining him could be seen as resonable, as you were in fear of your own personal safety.
punching him in the face, breaking his nose, repetedly kicking him while he's on the floor, breaking his ribs and turning his face into a pulpy mess would probably be seen as excessive.
