You made a very good and strong pertinent point. Self defence is a last resort measure, not a first up response to a situation.

My trainer was damn good with the way he taught kids, never allowed them to get too big for their boots and instilled in them that self defence is not a solution to every altercation.

Then there is also the law to consider, hitting someone because "you thought he was going to hit you first" will always land you on the wrong side of the law.

Whats even worse is that you may end up causing serious bodily harm or even worse kill the person.
