Lòt excuses mwen tande souvan sont "Mwen fè mal jenou/do/zepòl mwen" Et "Mwen pa ka." Implicite nan deklarasyon sa yo gen lide 2: 1) sa ou dwe nan yon kondisyon fizik haut avec aprann pou defann tèt ou, ak 2) ke yon mugger, adejakè, ou nsasen pa pwal kite ou pou kont si ou gen yon rale sou pye, yon bra nan voye yon, oubyen kèk lòt feblès apab wè. Les sont mal.

Other excuses I hear often are "I hurt my knee/back/shoulder" and "I'm not strong enough." Implied in these statements are 2 ideas: 1) that you must be in top physical condition to successfully learn to defend yourself, and 2) that a mugger, rapist, or murderer will leave you alone if you have a limp, an arm in a sling, or some other visible weakness. Both are wrong.
