say run and say fight is easy...
but when you in the situation it totally not what you expecting, nor even sparing,
when sparing or kumite, it all within the rules and safety,
but when you in the real fight it about pain, life or dead.
such as example, you for sure wanna punch the opponent cost you wanna win, so as the opponent,
but at the same time, you know u cant get a punch cost if u get it, you die and there there is no refree stop the fight,
think real carefully,
running for your life is another problem, this will need to see experience,
you have stamina? and can you run or not?
so the best way is, never put a fight and calm and patient will settle all.
