Apparently yes. The argument always seems to come back to having to defend yourself against an MMA guy, so the only thing I can think is that they must be out there circling like sharks waiting to start fights.
Lol - No, I don't think that's it
I will agree that a lot of stuff that will work on a person with any training, won't work on a person with training. That's basically common sense.
One of the key differences though is a Sport driven martial art, be it wrestling, Judo, boxing, MMA, or anything else the assumption is that you will be fighting a person that is skilled, and knows what they are doing. That's who we train against, and who we train to fight.
Of course we fight untrained people too, they are called beginners
But we never assume that "I'll get away with it because he won't know what to do." So something like a jumping spin kick, a good way to land on your head against a trained fighter, is not going to get done
