Forget about fighting.If you come at it from a fear based perspective you wont last anyway.Good "fighters" get killed all the time in a "street" situation.Im not talking about the kids beating each other up(Very funny vid btw,someone should have knocked the screamer out.)But like getting robbed at gunpoint,Being at the wrong place at the wrong time etc.If you want to be a good ring fighter than by all means,do MMA,Gracey Jujitsu,boxing,Muy Thai,Sanda,But even at a high level this will not make you any "safer".The traditional martial arts styles will, over time,maybe alot of time,help you become healthier,calmer,feeling more inner peace,have a better outlook on life all around.What happens then is that you dont find your self in situations where fighting skills are nessesary,your life flows in a positive direction,your thinking is positive people react to you in positive ways.Tommy Hearns was asked about fighting on the street growing up in Detroit,he said he always ran away!.Safer that way.
