Yep. Better to be killed at the outset while fighting for one’s life than to die like a helpless animal later.
More importantly, there's a far better chance of getting help early on, while still in a public place than in an evil person's choice of location.

Absolutely right and I’ve drummed this into my kids heads. 4 of my 5 kids are black belts in taekwondo (the 5th is too young but she’s in training). I told them to fight to the death, if necessary, before they get pushed into a car because whatever is waiting for them at the end of the car ride will be much, much worse.
