I can agree with the premise that a majority of martial artists can't "fight," if you are considering a fight as being something that looks like an MMA match. Well, fight well would probably be a better statement.
I also agree that the majority of martial artists are really not training to fight. LEO and military training is and should be more brutal in the training method so as to build survivability in those societal roles.... but it's hard to keep a school open with that level of training with your regular, vanilla civilian. Sure, there are hard cases out there that can take it with a smile, but most folks are just plain folks who aren't interested.
