Ideally, you train these things enough that they become muscle memory, because adrenaline makes people panic and forget things that they think they know. Think of how clumsy even professional fighters can sometimes look in the ring – even though they train all the time, it’s easy to forget your plan as soon as things get crazy.
The idea of any martial art is to internalize their techniques, so that if someone runs at you from the front, your body knows how to respond. If someone aims a punch at your face, you can protect yourself even while your brain is still going “Whoa, what’s happening?” Remember, most self-defense situations only last a few seconds. Unless you’re training for sport fighting like boxing or MMA, what most people need to protect themselves, react, and get away safely, is just a few key fundamentals.
