The most important aspect of MA will vary from person to person. To me it is the persuit of perfecting that which I love in Kung Fu. To always get better, rep my techniques until they are instinct and natural, to look at myself and see where I can get better, and to learn new things to add to my arsenal. Better yourself through hard work, that is my Kung Fu.
The most important aspect of fighting, end it as quickly as you can with as minimal damage to yourself as possible.

now that gun and weapons take the center stage of fighting
open hand practice takes the back seat.
when you get old
MA practice is more important for your health and fitness.

The most important aspect of MA is that you enjoy what you are doing, life’s too short to do something you find annoying and lets be honest MA is not that important to defending yourself in this day and age, weapons, law suits etc have all diminished its roll
The most important aspect of fight? I think it varies for each gender, whlst saying finishing the fight ASAP is a good thing to do, experience had probably shown most of us this is not that easy to do so I would say for men if you cant avoid fighting the most important thing is controlling where the fight takes place, so clinch skills are a must
For ladies if you cant avoid a confrontation then ground fighting, learning how to get back up and escape is the most important thing especially if it’s a confrontation with a male

It is far easier to read the intent on the street than in the ring.
Of course in the ring the intent is pretty much a given, LOL !
But you guys know what I mean.
It's something that is picked up real fast, heck probably took me a hand full of bouncing sessions to start to "read" who were dangerous and who were just obnoxious.

IMO, the most important aspect of MA is "how to enter" and "how to finish". Let using the throwing art as example. The throwing is easy but how to create a chance to throw is not easy, especially when your opponent keeps moving backward. You will need a plan to enter your opponent's kicking and punching range. Also to throw your opponent down is easy but there are a lot more detail to finish him so you can walk away safely.
