That's because they are taught techniques but not how to commit to the fight.

Problem #2-
Potential Student - "I want to take classes to learn self defense."
Teacher - "Fine. How many times a week are you planning to come in?"
Potential Student - "I'll be here on Wednesday nights. That's my free night."

I've had occasion to use my self defense on 2 occasions, one resulted in a broken wrist to the drunk and the other was just bruised up. But I train 4 days a week several hours a day. People taking MA for self defense just don't do that.

Waste of money, IMO.
