Style bashers,I saw a fight today...............

Never a truer word said!

Spot on mate.

Its a totally different ball game when faced with such a situation on the street to that of where you train. And in so many different ways.

 

no amount of pressure test can prepare you for a real life situation especially if you are fighting in a group. to fight knowing you could get stabbed or bottled at anytime and any direction is a lot different to training at your school or by yourself. while training you have that certain degree of knowledge that you know you are in a controlled environment and you will be returning home in one piece safely.

 

True, but at least if you do pressure test you have a far better understanding of the concepts, what your percentage techniques are, etc, thereby giving you a distinct advantage over someone who doesn't bother. I totally agree, however, that you just can't recreate the same situation though.
