OK we clearly have some miscomm. going on here.
When I say your skill set diminishes I don't mean it doesn't work. Hopefully, you would be intelligent enough only to train stuff that works. But when somebody is trying to seriously hurt you or stab you, a LOT of the options you trained are going to go out the window, and for most people they revert to what they're most familiar with. Stress pyschology has been studied for quite some time now and has explained this phenomenon.
As for being a "landswimmer" I've focused my time on boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ. Far from "landswimming." But I try to keep an open mind, and didn't learn to spar by getting tossed in a ring with somebody trying to take my head off from day 1...I also did "drills" to get the concepts down first. Maybe you're so good you can skip drills, but us mere mortals take a little time to pick up the basics first.
