Probably true, but the best street fighters are never the kind of people who fight fair and tend to rely on getting in the first hit and not stopping.

It's a totally different mentality is my point.  You can't really train for a street fight cause there's so many variables.  Certain things will work some of the time, and certain things won't.  Anyone studying martial arts to help them in self defence is probably approaching self defence in the wrong way, and could actually make it more likely they will get hurt if they think learning karate or boxing is all of a sudden going to turn them into wolverine.
