Is the code at 2:36 wrong?

I ran the code below in an IDE (not workspaces) with both python 2 and 3 and it gives an error. Shouldn't dodge_limit in the dodge method be self.dodge_limit, and shouldn't attack_limit in the attack method be self.attack_limit?

import random

class Combat:
  dodge_limit = 6
  attack_limit = 6

  def dodge(self):
    roll = random.randint(1, dodge_limit)
    return roll > 4

  def attack(self):
    roll = random.randint(1, attack_limit)
    return roll > 4

I added this code below the above code to see if the above code works. It doesn't seem to work.

object1 = Combat()
print(object1.dodge())

You are correct. Kenneth hits the same error and corrects it at time 4:15 in video. An advantage of watching Kenneth code live in the video is seeing common mistakes everyone makes and how to correct them.
