Sanjuro Ronin said: Here is how I view the whole competition VS real fight thing ( and I have said this a few times):
Competition is a controlled environment, it is as even a playing field as you can get.
Because of this IF something doesn't work there, then it probably WILL NOT work in an environment that ISN'T a level playing field and controlled.
That is the true reality of fighting that, for some reason, some people don't grasp.
In the real world there are no rules so if what you do in the ring does NOT work under controlled conditions, what on earth makes you think it will work under uncontrolled conditions ???
