I'd think situational awareness trumps anything outside the dojo.
OK, I see it now.

Yes, I agree that situational awareness is the way to go. As we've talked about, avoidance is key.

The point I was getting at is that you cannot be aware of everything all the time. Sure, if someone sneaks up behind you and stabs you, no amount of training will help that. But, if someone grabs you, that is something you can defend against.
