People have many reasons to enrol at martial art schools. However, majority do it to learn how to protect themselves. Most of the martial arts move toward a sport or competition oriented syllabus. We should know that sport martial arts and self-defence are two different forms of combat.
In the competition of sport combat, the students are competing in a very controlled environment and are expected to compete in a sportmanship manner. There are judges, referees and rules or regulations to make sure that the sports are conducted in a sportmanship manner.
Conversely, in a self-defence situation, things are totally different. The attacker will attack when you least expect. It is just like an ambush. The element of surprise is normally used to the attacker's advantage. Normally, the poor victim have no opportunity to response.
Good self-defence required common sense. In this respect, training in martial art will help as it teaches a person to be focused and to make quick judgment.
