Tip 66, Does competition fighting help in real-life situations?

May 09, 2016

Because competition fighting is a totally controlled environment. Many martial artist believe that it doesn't help in real-life scenarios. Anyone that has listened to my podcasts would know my view on this. But I thought it was time to make 100% clear.
Iain Abernethy , recently discussed in his podcast the fact that tournament fighting of any type isn't realistic to real-life situations because of the band methods that rules in force. I am inclined to agree with him. However, there are positives to tournament fighting in relation to real-life combat.
