I agree that showing some aggression in certain situation is a good way to get them off your back. My bullying stopped completely when one of my bullies tried picking a fight. Thing was I had a growth spurt over the summer so I wasn't the shortest guy anymore (my theory for why he tried to be physical). I grabbed him when he wasn't ready and slammed him in a locker. That was enough to get them off my back and I never had to fight any of them. A lot of my old bullies have actually grown up into pretty decent blokes.
Hopefully you punching that guy will prevent any more fights for you since bullies tend to operate like a animal pack. Pick off the alpha and the rest back off.

I will still propagate a friendly solution though whenever possible
