I think it is all very well saying 'run before you fight' etc, but in many situations you mentally do not have the choice. My first point was that these situations can be so quick that your reaction occurs before you have chance to think should I run/maim/kill.
In shaolin they train to kill, in Aikido we train to avoid damage and (usually) to cause little damage. My point is: what you intend to do is often irrelevant, what you train to do is closer to what happens.
