I can guarantee I can knock you out with a jumping reverse turning kick to the head. But unfourtunately the last few fights I've gotten into I haven't exactly had the chance for my opponent to remain perfectly stationary with enough space for me to pull it off and enough time for me to set myself to perform the technique.

So in all, it fails.

Most fights I see or have gotten into are wrestling matches with very few clean strikes landing at all. That's why I think it's better to practice MMA because it will give you a better range of skills to deal with far more likely situations.


You also mentioned knife training. I practised that too when I did TKD but in all likelyhood if someone attacked me with a knife I'd probably either
1. Just hand him my fucking wallet
2. Run the fuck away.

Ain't no way I'm getting stabbed, you can fuck that idea.
