That Martial Arts are useful in a real fight?

I did Tae Kwon do for some years and I've been wondering, martial arts, working with a set of rules, and except for Muay Thai, as the practice is mostly about the shape and material, and are also laws in combat. Also seems that everyone is pretty calm and taking it easy while training. Someone is practicing this be able to take the thugs who probably have more experience in the fight against reality? What kind of practice and to recommend to the real situations?

That's a very good question. This shows that you have a head of working on their shoulders to the question of whether kata / poomse training actually work in a fight. And definitely on to something when you make mention of "thugs with experience in the struggle against reality. "As for the answer … martial arts can be useful for a real fight, but it really depends on how they were trained. The heavy fighting involving regular tend to have good results. It might be compared to fighting a sport – basketball, for example. The only way to get good at the game is to make it real. If the Target Practice, can be good at shooting. Does that mean you are good at basketball? No. It means that you are good at one component thereof. I'm a good shot, but when I'm really moving and that people defend the rim, is a different story. To be good at basketball, I have to work with players resistance. Kata and all that is shooting hoops. You practice kicks, punches, blocks, etc. in isolation. One learns to kick, how to punch, and how block. You know the techniques, but pulling out of them is a different story. To strike the earth need a good command of time and distance. The same is true for blocking. To carry out their techniques on an opponent not comply, you need Spar. But is that enough? Can I make the NBA if I'm surprising to 1 on 1 streetball? Not necessarily. I still have to learn to work with and against a whole team of people. I could have worked well against an opponent to play resistance, but there's more facets of basketball that I have yet to master. Therefore, saying that Spar … That's good. You build your time, distance, etc with his punches and kicks. That's good, and will help a lot. However, there is more to the struggle of punches and kicks. How good is a kick when someone is grabbing you? How useful is a blow when someone is above you? To be an effective fighter, you need to learn all aspects of the struggle. Including striking, wrestling, and the land struggle. Wow, if you are careful about Self Defense training, you must learn of weapons and multiple opponents as well. Long story short, sparring is a MUST to learn to fight. Also must be at least semi-tough fight often, so you can get used to working under real pressure and pain. The more realistic is the bout, the better. The rules only should be for (certainly not raised his eyes, groin, things, etc.) If you want to be a 'dirty war (and that's not a bad idea),' do not settle for drilling compliant. You need to practice in combat. The way to do is to make the appropriate safety equipment. Strikes in the groin of work (with appropriate force) only if individuals are using cups. Work with gouges eye goggles. Find other people who share an interest in learning to fight realistically. Find people to train with you who have expertise in areas that do not (such as fighting or weapons).
