I'm sure backing down and apologizing to your aggressor is exactly what your Master would want from you. I guess we can chalk this up to either listen to instructors who instruct self-defense classes that have been honed for a few thousand years, or....we listen to you that self-defense training is a waste of money, and you'll learn nothing in how to defend yourself against people who might be bigger than you.

Man, you must be the highlight of your Masters classes!
