If you exercise self-defense, there are cases where it becomes excessive self-defense
There was said to have been a period when content like that was carefully, painstakingly, like some kind of “Good Kid’s Little Charm,” being taught, but in the world of the martial arts there is the word riai (the underlying principles or inner logic of technique), and from martial artists and security industry workers whose study of riai they have pursued seriously and deeply, and from professionals who have had military training and so on, you will hear, no no, there is more beyond that; even once you have entered the self-defense phase, there are many possibilities to consider, like whether you only break free from a grab or a choke to create a timing window to run away, or whether, if you adopt some half-baked flexible response the other party will not calm down at all and will only get more and more cocky so it is dangerous, therefore you deliver a powerful strike once and then flee, or whether you pin the person down and ask “Are you going to stop doing anything now?” and once the other party has calmed down you say “All right, got it,” and little by little loosen, separate, and take distance, or alternatively whether you should keep a firm hold on the person and continue to restrain them and call for help, and so on and so forth (the last two are basically like acting as auxiliary police, so impossible for the weak), and then there is also what you often see in overseas videos, not only running away but setting up a stop line or warning line and a kind of self-defense that says, don’t come here, if you approach I’ll beat you up, back off.
