duh..
training does help you in a fight xDD
it works on muscle memory
so that way you don't 'think' when enacting a move....
or you think 'less' >.>'''
and no thinking = no lag
not too mention the precision it takes to carry out some moves.....
precision that comes only from proper training =P

and pity on those fools who think that just because they pwned a black belt feels no need to study the arts proper >.>''

all people are different in their understanding of the body~
martial arts will always improve one's tech >.>'''

but of course, if one becomes cocky
relying on tech too much, or over confidence in one's improper tech will lead to pwnage =P

thus proper attitude comes into play

=P
true in some cases
but for this...
i'm gonna use myself as an example~

i've never been in a real fight proper >.>
although i've had people try attacking me
i "never" freeze up
i just react

basically, it's a personality thing
for those that freeze up in a real threat, continuous exposure to real scenarios is sometimes the only way for them to overcome it

then for others, they perceive themselves to be fearless and act however =P

and i guess, mind you, i'm very hesitant to hurt others~
even someone i truly despise, I'll always think twice before inflicting serious damage~
yet, in several instances in my middle school years, some kids tried tackling me
and i responded ruthlessly
if it weren't for a girl walking directly behind me, i woudl've slammed his face straight into the wall >.>''

In English, we use "he", "them" and "they" to describe the people who're just used as examples, but don't really exist. In this case, the idiot in a dodgey bar.

lol

Thats what i mean some do know how to react yet others freeze since they don't have experience fighting or how to act when being attacked.

like i said =P
i didn't have any prior fighting experience xD
all i did were exercises and forms
never even did sparring before those things happened o.o'
it was all muscle memory
and i reacted based on what i saw and felt
>.>'''

Yea some do know how to act lol XD[in your case] Fighting spirit maybe?lol.When i was in middle school i saw a fight where a person who had a pretty buff body due to training get beat up because he froze in the fight. yet some people have a fighting instinct.

Yes. I also have that fighting instinct. Or, more so, I couldn't walk away, could never back down. The only problem was I didn't know what to do when the fight started, nerves got the best of me, and it usually didn't go so well.

After training in a gym, but, I still have that fighting instinct, and I also know how to defend myself.

Train, dudes.

=P
you should totally see me in a fight xDD
like when i spar....
i always smile..... and act really realy cute.... and meow.. and everything =P
