Poppa it really depends on your instructor, what their background is and how their structure their classes. My Escrima instructor is 6ft, 23 stone and can move faster than anyone of us. I've had to use martial arts twice in a real life situation. My tournament experience helps with controlling my mental state so I don't panic but am careful of what I am doing in response to a certain attack. I can tell you know that the moment you are violently confronted, it doesn't feel a thing like it does in class, and no amount of training can fully prepare you for everything, martial arts will give you an edge over your attacker. Once you've done some environmental and knife awareness training, you won't find yourself in a situation you can't get out of, you'll be avoiding them at all costs. No use jumping in at the deep end if you can't swim.
