Ok, how many train in CMA and have had more than one real fight (non-sport, non-competition).
Let's see if we can track down all these CMA guys that cave in when punched.

Does the Taco Bell dog I kicked when it bit my kid count?
Only if he hit back. :)
What if the actual fights i have been in all occured prior to my CMA training?
i grew up and stopped getting into brawls. and no, i do not do any sport fighting.
though i will say i have had some really rough "sparring" matches since i began trainng.
4 busted ribs, on two different occasions. bit through my mouthpiece and chipped a tooth, been kicked/punched in the head and dropped numerous times, then your various other blunt damage...
maybe im a puseh
I'm going to say any adult fights count, whether pre or post CMA training.
The point being have you experienced a real life attack. There are some who feel most CMA guys would be shocked by a real life attack and are clueless about real fighting.
Myself, I've been there before so I'm not surprised by anything. I think I've outgrown it too, last scrap was in my mid 40's.
But it looks like I'll be coming out of retirement to straighten out my daughters ex-husband. :D
I had one "encounter" in college. I didn't get hit, but the guy took a swing and I was able to lock him up and hold him down until campus police arrived. He was pretty drunk and causing a ruckus to begin with.
I had another encounter, but the guy backed down before anything came of it.
I had numerous scraps growing up though.
Never been in a fight. I promised my first teacher as a teen that I would never use martial arts to hurt others, and since then never had a problem I couldn't talk out of. Plus I always have a huge stupid looking grin on my face and raggedy clothes so no on thinks I'm much of a threat. Plus I live in Oakland CA and no one fights here.

i dont train cma anymore
and ive had a fair few fights
i still incorporate elements of cma in to my ,mixed martial arts
does that count ?
do fights while a bouncer count?
are we talking fair fights toe to toe? or are we taking anything with violent force into account....cause that changes a lot
If the do, I gave up trying to count a long time ago. Probably low to mid thirties .
If not it reduces mine to single digits or VERY low doubles. I`m just a big sweet Pooh-bear type, and nobody really wants to swing on Whinnie the Pooh.
Nowadays I like to think I`ve outgrown my past.
