I was in a career for several years that involved the occassional use of armed and unarmed violence. Previous martial arts training is of absolutely no use in a real fight. It is the determination to fight and win that determines who goes home and who gets buried. The only structured martial art that comes close is Krav Maga. But even that must be coupled with the willingness to do harm if needed.
