It all makes sense now as to why Asami was placed in the best self-defense classes--this was obviously a measure Hiroshi took in response to her mother being killed. Thus, mother killed by firebenders + excellent self-defense classes= insurance against hostile benders.

In other words, Asami was really being trained so that could eventually become an equalist fighter when the time came! Logically, with all the skills Asami has, she would already be well-prepared to face hostile benders head-on.
