Tactics and techniques can make you more efficient, but its the determination to perservere that is most important.

Indomitable spirit is what we call that in TKD. Yeah, I can agree that determination to perservere is important. But if you have to think about how to use the self defense in a situation then you've lost half the battle.
In most cases, the first 3 to 5 seconds are going to determine the outcome. Self defense practice should be done like you guys do reaction drills. It needs to be second nature if you plan to rely on it. If not, learn to become a great communicator. Sometimes the mouth is the best type of self defense.
