The other night at training we got into a discussion about fitnesss and diets and that led to a split in the group about the importance of being fit.
Bascially it led to two major groups of thought.
One being that fitness is everything and without good stamina and endurance all the skills in the world will not help if you are gassed after 30 seconds of combat.
The other side of the coin was that an 'average' streetfight for someone trained should only last for 30 seconds and that the ability to fight for 10 minutes or 30 minutes is only really needed for sporting applications.
So what do people think, is stamina that important? and how long does the 'average' streetfight last?
