Myth 2: Street fighters will always lose to trained fighters.

Truth: Many street fighters are trained fighters. They are trained in specific skills that are quite different than traditional fighters. Street fighters understand the concepts of gross motor skill, overwhelming an opponent, no rule combat, and the fluid nature of fighting. Oh so many people have fallen to street fighters, who are without a day’s formal training but many years of practical experience. Being trained without practical experience (or close simulated experience) is like learning to drive in a video game and them being thrown into a sports car on the street. “Where did all the people come from? Gosh, there are a lot of cars. Wow, I just got cut off. Is that a police car behind me? What’s on the radio? Boy, that girl on the street looks hot.” I think you are getting the picture.
