Martial Arts in Real Fights?
How are you supposed to answer this? Fighting is not ABC. It all depends on what your opponent does, how he stands, where you are (out in the open or at a bar in a tight space), the environment (pavement, gravel, wet), weapons involved, the intensity of an attack (someone wants to teach you a lesson because you looked at his girl or someone wants to kill you), and so on. The variables in a fight are endless. There are no favorite moves that work all the time. That is why you study martial arts to work with anything that your opponent may offer you in any situation and not what you would like to do. That requires reaction and sometimes making things up as you go along. More than likely all the pretty moves you learn in martial art will not be the ones you will use. Fighting is ugly, chaotic and not choreographed. Training in martial art gives you basics and teaches you body mechanics.
