Unlike a competitive match, self-defense is not about winning. The goal of self-defense is to create a window of distraction or pain to allow you to run away, not to "win" a fight.
A “win” looks completely different in the self-defense context. Here are a few possible wins in self-defense:
running away (escape)
not being raped
not dying
minimally injured
Obviously there are many degrees to each of these but the overriding point is that you are not staying around to “duke it out” with your attacker to see who is tougher. Your only objective is to get home safe & sound to your loved ones.
