If I were attacked and force to fight, I could do so a lot better than when I started - but I am well aware that running, giving the muggers my wallet, etc., are usually safer tactics. You need to be /much/ more experienced before you get to the point where you can rely on your skills in a serious fight - and you never get there if you start learning in your forties! Anyway, if a I were to meet a mugger in a dark alley, then it would be all over before I'd got my socks and shoes off :-)
