There's more to it than that Baked , In Krav Maga we teach how to defend then attack and not to hang about. We teach how to end an attack very quickly & maybe deadly. All depends on the force of the aggressor

I might be wrong but Doesn't Krav maga teach you to totally disable a potential threat with Brute force ? What if you mistake the advance as a threat and hurt an innocent person mistakenly ?
If Krav Maga concentrated on teaching to reverse any potential threat and walk away first it would be a great concept , the fact it concentrates on disabling any and all threats is a worry .
Just my opinion but that's the way I see it .

Sometimes you can't just walk away or avoid walking down dark allys it's not that simple is it. As a human being you have the right the defend yourself and protect yourself regardless of what the law says.
