Combat- Why not contests of skills?

yes, attacking is a lot easier. But shouldn't be easier to defend against an untrained opponent? Should a kung-fu master or a 7 year old hit the character, his defense is still the same; unless, of course, the kung-fu master feints, which consumes an action. Shouldn't a punch from the martial artist be harder to defend against than the 7 year old punch?
