Anon, I would argue exactly the opposite. A street fight is never fair, and you can assume that a self defense situation involves fending off a bigger and stronger opponent. Often times women are targets of attacking males. That’s why learning how to subdue and disable the threat quickly and directly, regardless of being at a physical disadvantage, is of key importance. More traditional styles such as Kung Fu and Wing Chun fail to provide the disciples with the easiest tools available to defend oneself, and instead respect the far-Eastern mantra of honorable, fair fighting. In Krav Maga we learn that if you find yourself in a fair fight, you’ve already made a big mistake.
