Sportive martial arts training prepares you to fight when you are at your best, whereas self-defense training prepares you to fight when you are at your worst.

Personal Safety: Preparation for and prevention of danger.

Self-Defense: Scenario based training that prepares for the most common attacks typical of violent crimes.

Martial Arts training: advanced fighting skills most often designed to combat attacks common within the cultural/social context of the style.

The key to effective self-defense training is to prepare for the most common "jump-off" attacks with simple high success rate techniques. For example, most criminals won't throw a side kick when attacking you, so it would be ineffective to prepare for that stimulus.
