in a world today where offense is everyone's objective........
i still feel that defense is one of the most slept on aspects of martial arts.
In my opinion, out in the streets, its far more important to have good defense in the ways you describe. if you watch the street fights on youtube, you will see just how different they are compared to ring fighting.
street fights usually last a minute or two both sides are definately focused on whooping each others arses, if you watch close, there is a lot of defense going on.
good street fighters know the difference......still thats my opinion.
