Ok, I when I was younger trained in several martial arts, attaining black belts in judo, and Hapkido before I was 14 years old. ( Since then I have had to have major back surgery which for all intents and purposes wiped out my martial arts involvement) but I have kept an interest in the subject. If it is anything ive realized to this point its this, martial arts are wonderful for keeping in shape, and effective if used under controlled scenerios such as against another martial art in a match. But to this day 22 years since I first took a judo class, I have yet to see any martial art which offers an effective way of fighting in a real street fight situation. Now I dont mean a mugger trying to get your wallet, I mean an old fashioned bar fight. Where you got some guy who just comes swinging haymakers at you and wont back off. I have yet to see any martial art that offers a legitimate way to deal with a real parking lot type fight situation. If anyone knows of one Id be very interested
