That would be situational awareness, and behavior recognition, and avoidance. When do you think this should be taught in a martial art school?
How would you react, if you started training at a place and they worked on only that until 'you' acquired the skills necessary to move on?
Mr. Arbiter, you clearly didn't read my entire question before you posted your response... Don't be in such a rush answer, and you will sound more astute.
While your answer was not a point of my question, I can agree with you about the necessity of knife defense. Knife defense is much harder than most people training it would like to let on. An example of how difficult it can be is easy to show. Get a friend and get a marker or big chalk stick and have them attack you. Look at all of the contact marks on your person after 30 second of attack. Those are cuts, or stab wounds. Knives are common weapons that people carry around and the majority of training that goes on in Martial Art dojo will only get the student maimed or killed in a self defense situation.
Pig... - I would have to disagree with you on the point that self-defense is different from Martial Arts. Martial Arts IS self-defense.
MMA - Again, that is not the point of my question and you just sound arrogant.
