Self-defense and Fight training. Can they coincide?

[bushido_man96]

Perhaps another to consider, which competition fighters might not be bothered with, is conflict de-escalation. Whilst strictly not something you might physically train for, it's something that wouldn't necessarily cross the mind of your average competition fighter unless they wanted to think about self-defense.

Very good point to consider here. I hadn't thought about that one initially, and its a very important one, for sure.
