Kung Fu...Preying Mantis Style

rules help you devlop skills/ability
it is difficult to train to rip someones ear off w/out actually doing so
I agree that a fight is different from a match or competition, but I don't agree with the implication (that you may not have ment to make) that training in a style with rules is inferior

no , thats UTER CRAP .

Im sorry , I like you , but I HATE hearing this stupidness .

You dont have to poke a GUY in the eye to learn to do it . THats what Training equipment is for . Training in Pinch Gripping is perfectly fine for learning to Rip off an Ear . you telling me if you rain to the point where you can tear a quarter in hjalf you cant tear an Ear off ?

You just have to be Willing at that point . You want to learn to Poke Eyes ? Buy a Fingerbag and draw a damned EYE on it ! Put it on Bungies and youre all set ! Train Double End Bag with your Fingers , Break Boards with your Fingers , etc. .

Boxing has rules.
M.M.A. has rules.
Kick Boxing has rules.
Wrestling has rules.
In essence any regulated fighting has some sort of rules.
Street fighting doesn't have rules. Anything goes. That includes ripping a person's throat out, gouging his eyes, breaking bones, ripping ears off. There are so many differant styles of fighting and differanct techniques applied under differant circumstances. One thing I could say is that every person and fighter are differant with respect to their training, skills, abilities and background. Another thing is being able to utilize these skills under differant circumstances. Fighters will act differantly under differant circumstances. Real Life versus. Controlled setting i.e. syndicated fights are totally differant. You don't know how each fighter will respond to a real threat. Have you ever heard of "flight or fight"? Adrenaline kicks in and people who have demonstrated superman skills once and kicked major ass, may lose under less trying situations. There is no finite answers to these styles of fighting. There are too many factore to consider when comparing fighting styles and techniques.

i disagreee with you... street fighting has rules, and they are the law. You can break them the same as any fight but just like any fight there is consequences.
