Ok I gotta know. Is it that your ego is so small that every answer and question you post has to do with fighting and trying to show how tough you think you are or are you just too young/imature to to know better.
I have been training in Judo my whole life and I also have 5 years of Freestyle and Grecco Roman Wrestling. I played Rugby for 5 years and footbal in highschool. I know I am a very tough person and am well equiped to defend myself if need be. But I still have not been in a fight since grade nine and have never been put into a situation where I was forced to get physical. Have I had threats and challenges of course but why the hell do I need to fight and hurt someone or get hurt beacause some guy like you got drunk and decided he need to act big infront of friends or his girlfriend.

Personally, no, but I have known several that it HAS happened to. These were people that had won in sparring at tournaments and thought that they would ahve no trouble in a street fight. The problem is that tournament fighting and street fighting are two entirely different things. In a real fight....there are no referees no gloves and no rules. They were severly beaten, sometimes by multiple opponents. This is because too many instructors don't focus in what's inmportant, the practical applicatin of the skills they are teaching. Far too many focus on tournement fighting and don't bother to explain the difference to their students. That is one reason why I put so much emphaiss on the practical side of the techniques I teach, so that things like that DON'T happen.

First of all you said how many people used there martial Arts. A person who is really good at what they do and know what they are doing never go out to use it. Yes even taekwondo Practicioners can be good and not use what they know. Its the people that are good who know when and how to use it if they get attacked.

I've never lost to anyone who was not trained in the Martial Arts, but I have had a few times where someone who was new didn't understand the reasons why we had certian saftey rules in sparing and would try to pull stuff.... until I took them asside and "explained" to them why that really isn't something we do in training.
Explained... demonstrated... what's the difference?

you will find that alcohol is a good reason it happens in the first place.
Me: was visiting a mate i a small rural town, was drinking with my mate, his son, and their friend, who was a redneck asswad. he mouthed off, I got us out of trouble at the first bar as my mouth was the saviour.
at the second bar the sh!t hit the fan, and the barman and a regular attacked this redneck friend of my friend, had him in a neck choke, and were kicking him hard out. I came up behind the kicker and hooked my hand back at his throat... he stopped kicking and I pushed him aside to target the barman, who then let the redneck go.
now before we could get out of there, the guy i throat chopped had phoned his mates and 2 rugby teams turned up. the local team and the team the played that day. everybody drunk.
we got creamed, by about 30 guys. the cops didnt even show up. funny really, but not at the time.
we got out of there with a torn archilles tendon, cracked cheek bones, black eyes, cuts from falling, being dragged, kicked while down and concussions, blows to the back of the head and sucky shots. turns out the guy I throat chopped was the son of a local gang member too.
time to leave town, and soon after my mate did too.
training meant nothing, but it did help keep me defensive enough to block most of what came. working as a bouncer I had the oral skills but this was wild and just how far do you really go. one on one with no witnesses is one thing, but no way couold you eye gouge and get away from an angry mob.
never stop for alcohol in redneck towns !

Never got whooped by somoene who wasn't trained. I take my martial arts training too seriously to not understand everything and be able to apply it.

never happened.
If this does (and you have actually been at your school long enough to say you have learned the system to fight- or should have) happen you need to switch schools IMMEDIATELY.
If you can't fight with your art you are likely training at a mcdojo and you are wasting your money and risking your life by going there.
Here is an article written to bullshido.net relating the story of someone training at a mcdojo.

Fact is you are not training to fight if you DON'T actually get this FIGHT. But at least in a gym or a sparring session you are doing it in a controlled environment so you can use it against a fully resisting opponent who is coming to kick your ***.

Not me personally as I do not train to fight, I train so that if I should ever need to, I can defend myself VERY effectively, but at the club I train at, we have several local doormen (bouncers) and they see black-belts get their asses kicked quite often.
Just because someone has a black belt, it doesn't mean that they can fight. it means that they can rehearse set 'moves' as in kata. khon kumite etc, and can perform them in front of a teacher. in a 'street' situation against a determined, furious opponent, the speed and violence of an attack scares the pants of most 'inexperienced' martial artists.
As these doormen have told me, the best way to become a good fighter is to 'work the doors for a year'

only once during my high school years, it was during our crucial school midterm exams, and it was only because I knew that I'd be suspended for fighting and unable to make up the exams so I would've had to go to summer school to make it up so I didn't fight back because it would make me look just as bad for participating and a teacher saw what was happening and broke it up.
He was suspended for two weeks for fighting (therefore unable to make up the exams and had to make it up in summerschool AND he was a SENIOR so you can imagine how f**ed up it was for him) especially since he already had a track record for fighting and being a troublemaker.
I on the other hand got suspended for two days and was able to make up the exams I missed by the end of the week.
So that was the only time I got my a** kicked, but I wound up outsmarting him so it wasn't a total loss so in the end I still won out technically.
