I knew a guy who was quite good at Chinese internal martial arts and asked him if any of it worked in a real life fighting situation. He said that on the few ocassions he'd needed to use it, it worked quite well, but that the greatest practical defense benefit of his training was that it enabled him to detect aggressive people more easily and thereby avoid them.
