Traditional soldier like arts frequently commit a good deal of time to Kata, which are episodes of moves and strategies, simulating an individual taking on one or more adversaries. Frequently they call for speed, power, good poise and flexibleness. These may be a great training aid but provide little help when it comes to pragmatic modern self-defense. A lot of arts don't prepare you for when an aggressor comes in close contact or takes you to the ground as these might not be strategies that are allowed under the rules of a certain style. Remember in a street fight or assault, anything goes.
For a minute, picture 2 jocks in a tournament facing one another. They've prepared for a long time; physically they're in good shape. Keep looking and 1st let's remove the referee collectively with the rules that he was there to impose, now anything goes, they're not confined to the same assortment of moves that they're both accustomed to. Remove the gloves, the foot pads, padded head gear, groin shielder and mouth guard. Remove the mat and substitute it with concrete, let’s add a few brick walls and remove the lighting.
Remove the crowd and anybody else there who might have been quick to jump in and break them up as one person is beat beyond unconscious. In fact let's alter the surroundings to a back alley, perhaps a kitchen, a bedroom or even a bar and let's make available all the arms in each of these surroundings: glass, steel bars, screw drivers, knives and additional items that you might not even know as a weapon. There's a different type of mentality required for a street encounter that isn't inevitably covered by the normal Martial Arts class.
In most cases it might not even be such a prepared stand off but most likely be originated with a blind sided onslaught, a mugging or even a tried rape. Alter the odds and substitute one of the battlers with another who's 50 pounds lighter so it’s no longer a match battle, alter the aggressor to 2 men or more. Now a lot of these competitive jocks might well be in good physical shape but are they groomed mentally for such an encounter? In most cases, the answer is nah.
Many knowledgeable martial artists have fallen apart in a street fight chiefly because of the mentality required and likewise, what works in the training hall might not be practical on the street, particularly if space is confined.
