Hopefully the link works.

Anyway this video is in response to why you don't see blocks in the UFC. (Which you do. )

But instead of discussing that. Or instead of a technical explanation why you might block in your system. It has to walk down the road that MMA is somehow less the street in some vague way that doesn't really make any sense. And how MMA fighters don’t have the grounding in self defence. (Which isn't accurate)

I would suggest if you do self defence. Do yourself a service and explain the reasons you do something in a way that makes you sound like you understand the subject.

And I will give a counter point.

I could ask any decent sports guy why they do something. And I doubt I would get an answer "because the sport" unless they are specifically capitalising on a rule set.

And even then they would probably be specific.

This type of explanation undermines self defence systems.

Also, let's be honest, if they'd kick your ash in the ring, they would do the same on 'the street'. 'Street' violence isn't difficult- look at some of the people who do it.

I Fully agree with the video. Is there overlap? Of course. Many of the same tools are used. The defining difference is in the intent. It is Very difficult but teaching someone how to process the moment is critical (or at least getting someone to think about it). Usually, more than the actual technique(s) used.
Both MMA or self-defense can be carnal, but one should ALWAYS be thought of as carnal and Yes, violent. Getting people to come to terms with this and understanding how to process and use the emotion the right way is vital.
