Real Combative Effectiveness
Hello All, i'm curious as to finding out what people think of their respective styles in a real combative setting. I ask because for the average Joe that doesn't have any real fighting skills one may be able to effectively ward off an attack, tournament fighting is far from reality as well, but the real thing in the street, no rules when conditioning plays just as important part as fighting skills, how do you think your skills will fair? Have you ever questioned your abilities in this setting, have you conducting full contact sparring to allow you to see what truly is beneficial for you within your style and what isn't. I know most will feel confident about their particular disciplines and you should, but being truthful to ones self are you really that confident in your skills when your opponent have no care of life or death! As for me, I have begun to analyze my skills, because I've decided I can't do the five minute fight anymore it must be over sooner than that. In the day and age in which we live people are wreckless and have no regards for things that matter the most. I have totally changed my mind set when it comes to fighting, in comparison to times past although I believe i'm the nicest guy on earth when it comes to fighting there are no rules and no mercy. To me understanding theory and all that is useless if it can't be put into use, i'd llike to hear how others feel. I was in a fight oneday and I flipped a guy via his neck, it was not conscious on my part just a reaction to his motion, I was scared because I could have killed the guy but then I was happy because my training paid off and the skills worked for me that day. Let me hear some feedback and or your stories.
