there is no thrill, there is no CHALLENGE and personal test like a real fight!Q but think about it- there is double reality here. I did 4 jiu jitsu classes in dojo with excellent instructors, and I sparred a lot including hard spar and full out competitive private fights. I also trained boxing, with the same hard level of spar, gym fights and a sanctioned fight t before one injury and my career took life in other directions. I have also been in several-- ok 4 spontaneous fights, and one was vs two men who were trying to mug me but it was NHB fight, So- were these all fights? The JJ stuff were called matches because the fight discipline came out of grappling and judo, and I think also because saying "fight" was off-putting for attracting new students. the boxing were called fights after graduation= ie being OKed for unsupervised full contact bouts.
Do you put these in two different categories, one being "lessons" the other being 'fights'? Does it matter in general that boxing is more 'ungloved fistfight'? and of course the mugging was still different, the only true NHB I have ever experience and unfortunately real time. what do y'all think??
