If a street fighter comes against a trained martial artist who has a streetfighter mentality he will loose.

When I say trained I don't mean the Mcdojo variety either.

There is no such thing as streetfighting as a system or way of fighting, only people who are trained and those who have little to no training. All streetfighting is just a setting in which a conflict takes place, nothing more. You should go to the combative arts forum and check out goshinmans topic entitled "the truth about the streetfighter and streetfighting". There is some good info there.

I will go ahead and close this thread and direct you to the links that ninjanurse mentioned.

Thanks.
