How do you train for reality? #Part 1
Some people/instructors/masters/xxx will tell you that they have experienced fights as doormen, barmen, war, special forces.... Some may not be very truthful of their experience: See

The rest of us, will just have to guess, because we DO NOT want to get involved in a fight anyways and HOPE that we will NEVER EVER meet anything nasty.
While some instructors want to fantasize and become mongerers of fear to show their abilities, "punish" their students and subject them to "real life" conditions.
Students feel like their lives are in jeopardy and they execute techniques amidst the adrenaline running amok and after that feel invincible that they overcame some "nasty" dude.
In reality, the "nasty" dude is just another human being (probably an accountant) who does NOT think like a bad guy and does not attack for real of hurting his friend.
