Not a legal answer but Jeff's point is certainly valid....it probably depends on the jurisdiction.

However, many cases I've observed turn from self-defense once the other party is going away from you and you seek re-engagement.

This incident in this video stopped being self-defense about 30 seconds into the video when the referee pushed through someone standing in his way to go after someone.
