100% incorrect. That is a sparring session or sporting event, i.e. boxing or MMA. The exact opposite of a self defense situation.
When attacked, it is legal and advised to not meet but rather exceed the force being used against you by every military, police, and self defense instructor. The goal is to go home at the end of the day. Not struggle to hope you survive. If attacked, I will do whatever it takes to survive and go home to my wife and son.
Ummm...
I do agree with what you said though.
