Yes. Also the thread content didn't mention street fighting either... Blah.

 

I have come to realise that Innitial karate training doesn't mean anything at all when you are faced with six determined attackers. I don't know at what point of learning do you reach a stage where you can really win easily in a one on one with most people but I imagine you will have to put in around a year of HARD training before you are really going to be confident in your ability to beat even somebody your own size with more testosterone flowing around than you.

 

If you are learning Martial arts so you'll have greater success on the street, should the need arrise (which I'm sure is the reason most people start) You'll probably need to train hard and really listen to your instructors, at the same time think about the implications of using a paticular technique and back it all up with more practice and sparring.

 

Even then you're going to have a hard time facing some crazy fight-adicted steroid freak who happens to meet you on the corner. Knowing when to run is a useful skill... maybe I will learn it one day.

One year is just for the basics. Then it takes the mind set to work into. They have to teach you to have the psychology to win. The one thing that seperates good fighters from great fighters is hesitation. If you have hesitation, you lose. You lose big time!

hesitation is a good perspective and is known by many as a fighters worst enemy(apart from opponent)If you take a moment to hesitate they could have killed you.Always be ready and don't hesitate.Thanx Karateka.

Just a general word to any new Karateka. Joining Karate and knowing some basic techniques will mean very little on the streets. It will take some real time and effort before you can transfer basic knowledge into an actual understanding of how to hurt and win in a fight.
