With proper training, confidence comes by itself. Even with only a small amount of training you can determine the level of skill your attacker has.
If the mugger has a knife, how is he holding it? Theres a right and wrong way to hold a knife in a fight. If hes holding it the wrong way, he only has one real option on how to use it and your legs are longer than his arms. If hes holding it the right way, he obviously knows what hes doing and trying to kick him will only get you cut badly.
