Are you training for real?

How do you measure the efectiveneness of what you train? Do you watch tournament fights and keep asking yourself if you XYQ would work? Take a look at these videos, they are real fights cought in camera. Once you have finnished, ask yourself once more: “Am I on the right track?”.

Dang!!!
That was freaking brutal.
that slop has nothing to do with martial arts. the first guy didn’t even defend himself. those hoodlums should all be in jail.
I don’t know whether the intention of those videos was cautionary or to encourage people that martial arts could overcome those situations. But what I find slightly disturbing is that the original source for these videos thought this was funny.
Those are quite messed up.
I have to admit, the last one actually did get me laughing a bit. The first two were stupid though and I agree, all of them should be in jail right now.
What about the first video? I’m guessing that a good front kick would have saved the guy having a shirt pulled over his head.
