I don't think that is the case. I think what we see here is that things with gangs and this and that is the extreme, it's not the norm. Many of the people on this forum and in fact the entire world will never fight an entire gang of people. Some may come across it, that is true but, should it affect the way that everyone trains? If so where does it stop? Steve Irwin got taken out by freaking sting ray, should we now start training for aquatic life defense? What about polar bears? How about angry former circus midgets? These things may happen but, what is the real likely hood of it ever happening to everyone?

I personally am not trying to be rude when I post things like "this is ridiculous" but, at some point we have to draw a line. We're looking at sports martial arts so we look where it is tested and forged in the ring or cage. I offered the defense that one on one street or ring there is not much difference. Then the typical arguments started rearing their ugly heads. What about gangs and more then one attacker, what if the entire country of Macedonia wanted to fight you? Where is your combat sport now? And every one puffs out their chest ha ha ha you can't take out a whole country with BJJ or boxing. These arguments get incredibly stale and boring after a time.
