If physical fitness is a MUST, then some of us are without hope.
Age and diseases take a toll that prevents many of the elderly over 70 from being fit. Accordingly, we must do what we can under the circumstances, but for many of us fighting off an attacker for more than a few seconds is out of the question.

Such problems come upon everyone if you live long enough. Fortunately, with good judgment the odds of attacks are very small. I can attest to that and so can those I know.
Yes, it can happen to anyone anywhere, but it does not except in very rare instances.
