Well said, Croooz

I've always said that there is a distinct diferrence between martial art and actual fighting. Martial art is exactly what the name implies; art. The applied science of causing grievous bodily harm on a person (I refer to it as combatives) is entirely different. Being a Nth degree black belt in any style is hardly enough. Actually, It's more like a hobby. What is most likely to work is training in all ranges of unarmed combat until the application of techniques is second nature (this should include full contact sparring and wrestling), tip-top physical conditioning, and the proper mindset. This, I've learned, is what separates the guy on the ground from the guy who's still standing.

P.S.
There is certainly no substitute for the art of ching ching pow.
