During a practice we were discussing what is more important if not equal, should
you learn to defend, or attack. We thought blocking your attacker was a more
important skill for the simple fact that when cops show up you just look like a
guy who was defending yourself and the attacker gets tossed in the jail. Were
not saying that you shoudnt lay the smack down on some one if they need it. Just
that keeping yourself from getting hit at all may be a better skill and worth
more time on. Whats your take?
