Nocturnal you have proven to me with your ignorance that you have likely not done any real martial arts training.. I am a mma student, and I can tell you for a fact we are not disadvantaged on the street. For the first, most of the guys in my gym have CCW. Secondly, surprise we actually train to defend against illegal attacks such as groin and neck attacks.. Oddly you know neck attacks are common in mma(/sarcasm). Guess what, in a lot of mma promotions it is illegal to kick to the front of the knee. GUESS WHAT THAT LEAVES?? The entire 3 facing sides of the knees are legal targets for destruction. Guess what, I cant target the front of the knee, but I can sure as heck do a chasse bas to your thigh and stand a good chance of dislocating your knee. Like wise, I could just ignore savate rules(I am in mma and not savate, I just like that kick and learned it) and use it below the knee to the upper shin area, and have the same effect of dislocating your knee.. Or I could do another tech to the knee im taught, that comes straight out of karate and from close range do a downward stomp kick to the side of your knee.
Honestly go and actually do some thing, and you'll see you actually know very little. Just because there are rules, don't mean we don't consider the illegal moves, stuff happens regardless of rules.
One thing many here understand but you seam to not have a clue on is pressure. More specifically keeping your cool while under pressure. MMA fighters tend to experience a heck of a lot of it during there training and as I can attest to you we spar way more then is really called for imho and at some serious speeds. All of this sparring and drilling and pressure helps us keep our heads better(not perfectly as I found out but I did ok considering the circumstances) then those who have no real training and pressure testing.
Each art, when taught properly has a way of pressure testing there students. At least that is the conclusion I have come to. You really need to open your mind and think. If you don't believe a word im saying fine, don't take my word go to a forum populated almost exclusively by mma fighters. WWW.sherdog.net. Make your statements and ask your silly questions there and see what they say. There are a great many good mma and boxing and Muay Thai and other coaches and even professional fighters there. Im sure they can educate you far better then I or anyone else here for that matter.
