I think that if you understand the reality of combat, dont have any misconceptions or pre concieved notions of what it is like, and dont plan out or think in the 'he does this, i do this' mindset then you stand a better chance.

Your training needs to be realistic and produce a strong intention to survive regardless of what style. You need fast, simple principles that finish encounters quickly. Last thing you want is a battle of a few minutes on your hands.
