The goal isn't to submit or hit them right necessarily, but to clear them. The aggressor comes at you explosively, with or without a buddy. There's not a whole lot of fighting skill involved in this bit, which is kinda the idea, because it's an introductory session with the assumption of some untrained armed thug. There's no waiting for the moment to strike and setting up moves like in MMA, they just come at you, and you have think about whether they have a weapon, getting access to your weapon, and what is or isn't legal for you to do.
It is incredibly exhausting, partly because of your own exertion, partly because of the adrenaline dumping into your body, and trying to think it through.
