/r/martialarts is likely to become unmoderated soon. Migrate? Transfer of leadership? Disband? Something else?

One of the most common answer in this sub whenever someone ask what they should do in a street fight is to "run" (until the attacker/s starts running after you too)

What's the most solid advice you received from your masters/ senseis/ senior/...?

I got mine from my Taekwondo master 15 years ago. It was during our warm-up, and he asked the whole class what would be the most beneficial thing when practising Taekwondo. Most of the people there said that for self-defence, beating up bad guys, street fights, competition, etc.

He then looked at us and said the most legit advice I've heard uptil now:

"No, you dumbasses. The most beneficial thing about Taekwondo is that you can train your legs to be really strong, so when you encounter a fight, you can run away from it real fast."
