If that were not the case, let's just buy everyone a soft cover book of how to destroy one's enemies in 10 easy chapters. One quick read and we're all set to defend.

Stay armed...everything takes practice...stay safe!

(An amateur practices until he can do it correctly, a professional practices it until he can't do it wrong.)
Very good, I agree with all of the above.

One small point though. A 'professional' is one who does something for a living (his profession). One need not be a professional fighter to know how to employ effective unarmed combat against an attacker.
