SIMULATE, SIMULATE, AND SIMULATE….

Yes, fight, is unpredictable, especially in a real situation, a ka: on the street, bar, etc.
But, we have any choice, we can run, we can hide, or we can fight with our tactic, power, and of course…skill.
Why do I put skill in the third?
Coz, u know, in the fight situation, first u want to think about is, how to defend your self, how to get safe and stay alive, do you need to beat’ em? In the ring, or in the competition, yes! But in the street, nope! That’s not your priority, the first thing you must put in your mind is, how to get out from that conflict without being hurt, that’s it!
Street situation is so complex! There’s no referee, there’s no rules, there’s no time limit, and, you may get killed!
The choice is, to killed, or to be killed!
Am I speak too loud? Or too brutal? I don’t think so, I tell you the reality!
I was in the street fight situation, and I found that my martial art skill was very useless, all I need is how to get safe, and not how to get win.
My skill (including high kick, snap punch, and that artistic moves I bring from dojo) was gone, I’ve got blank in my mind, no time to think, I’m just react, and react to my opponent, according to Rickson Gracie said about fight situation “I don’t think, I’m just react to my opponent”.
And that’s what we did in our beloved club, we’ve trained to react, and analyze tactic, not style or art.
In some session, we put some techniques from any martial arts, then we did some test, we evaluated how effective that techniques if we put it in a real situation, and…poor, so much techniques that useless, your sensei, gurubesar, or whatever you call your teacher, is an artist, they’re not a fighter, much of them, never know how it feels to fight in the real situation, they just meditated, and..BLINK! They found new hardware… no, I mean, techniques, they come to you, they said, it’s very dangerous, don’t try this at home, bla..bla..bla…
What I want to tell you is, discuss your techniques is very important beside you trained, keep critic, don’t believe in your techniques until you try to use it in a real fight simulation.
