Yes. Being able to fight is a precaution against becoming a victim of violence but should not be a responsibility. Big time commitment.

Could be considered a responsibilty if one is counted on for protection. Was much more of a responsibilty at one time than now.

Knowing how to defend yourself makes you less likely to be attacked, thus safer.
