Just a thought,

With a lot of talk about traditional MA not working on the street what do you think would happen in a hypothetical situation where a shaolin monk, lets say he is taking a holiday. He joined the temple when he was ten, he is now 26 and in his prime and renouned for his skill.

When walking back to his hotel one night he is attacked by a 'thug' this guy is bigger than the monk, but not vastly different in size. He is attacked just because he is asian, his attacker is unarmed, but has been fighting since a young age , a real rough background, and is experienced in the sence that he has been in a lot fights before.

What happens?
