Cool, make sense. Do you ever feel that self-defence videos are a poor substitute for real world experience? Don’t people need to have some physical practice/sparring, hitting and getting hit, to have the confidence to handle themselves in a scary situation?

When you say that the would be attacker "left in the hands of the authority", do you mean the police got him? I don't know what it says about our society that you've almost been robbed/assaulted 6 times while walking about! Kudos for being able to diffuse the situation non-violently, sometimes that's as important a skill to master than brute force.

No offence but how would a blind person benefit from watching a self-defence video? Wouldn't they need to see the actual instruction that's taking place?
