Elements of real world self-defence

There is much more to defending yourself than learning to fight back.

The objective of self-defence training is never to destroy an attacker or potential threat.

You train in order to learn to first avoid, and, if avoidance isn't possible, second, to control and finally to escape a dangerous situation while minimizing injury to yourself as well as to other parties involved. However, when there is a significant difference in size or strength between the attacker and defender, it may be necessary for the defender to be prepared to inflict pain or injury in order to create the opportunity for escape.
