Maybe its diffierent now. I had a friend tell me about it because she did kung fu or something and she said even using it for self defence has to be avoided if possible.
Its called Martial ARTS for a reason much greater than self defence in my opinion and shouldn't be used whenever you can.
Self defence classes are just basic moves to get yourself out of certain grips and get yourself out of the situation. Martial arts in my opinion is much different and is taught for different reasons.
