It should be noted that it is a lot harder to make yourself hit/hurt someone you know than it is to react against a stranger. Certainly, it's a lot harder to judge the point at which you are in sufficient danger to justify hitting/hurting.
Not an argument against self-defense, and goodness only knows how you train someone to figure that part out... perhaps freyaw's comments about teaching risk assessment and response might be an answer.
