Situational Part 1 - or what is lacking in self-defense against sports Fighters Street Fighters

The importance of situational awareness in the modern self-defense street simply can not be stressed enough. In the ring or cage, you always know that you are fighting against a person, no other weapon that its two arms and two legs and you know it will not sound until after the attack.

On the road, things are different. You never know how many people attack you if you are armed when to attack and when to stop. This is why TRAINEDSport-fighters usually loose against street fighters with experience:

Hunting sports stabbed and then says, "I will never see the knife," because he is training for a fair fight, without weapons, and Street Fighter enough to draw palm trees and expect to be good experience, until he cut his victim before.

A fighter takes sports Street Fighter on the ground and his head kicked in Street Fighter five friends, for the luxury of being trained in a cagewith only one opponent and the arbiter of "good things".

A fighter sport becomes sucker punches and then says, "I did not see coming a stamp," because it has been trained not to expect that the attacks only after ringing the bell, while the Street Fighter is experienced enough to know that the person landed first shot is usually a street fight to win.

I have seen this phenomenon many times before. The last time was when I had a boxing Thai fighters and trainers in a workshop;whole class tried to compare him to me, in terms of "who is better", "Who can beat that" and so on, "the most difficult." When you practice blocking traffic with RPGs, he stayed at the car door and asked me if I wanted, and open the trunk. I said yes, when you reach the rubber knife I had hidden under my left thigh. I opened the door with his left hand, the knife hidden behind the cabin door and thrust the knife into his chest, just below his rib cage. What hedo? Nothing at first, but then jumped in a boxing position, looked down on the rubber knife "attack" muttered a profanity in the chest and realized that it would be fatal, long before he knew he was in a combat wounded.

Who would have won in the ring? I do not know. I give him the benefit of the doubt and say he would. But remember, do not train for the sport weakest link, and is always ready for street duty, so I guess that was able to learnmuch of myself that I have of him. And the likelihood of an inexperienced fighters sport recovering from a broken nose tends to be better than an inexperienced Street Fighter is recovering from a throat cut.
