The most common comments I hear from people who have become proficient at various types of violence are: They experience less desire to assert themselves physically because they understand who they are and feel more secure in themselves. They understand that you can’t really tell who is and isn’t worth getting into an altercation with just by looking at a person. There are a lot of very unassuming people who are quite good at handling themselves physically. Out of continually confronting contained (often consensual) violence they develop a deep respect for what people, both themselves and others, are capable of. The idea of casually entering into real violence without good reason is not taken lightly.
