There's an old saying - the world's best swordsman isn't afraid of the second best, he's afraid of the worst, because he can't predict what the silly SOB will do next. A serious martial artist will avoid fighting when there is no need, because in a fight your opponent is trying just as hard as you are to win and Murphy's law is always waiting. No matter how uneven the fight looks their is NO guarantee, and losing a fight REALLY hurts.
