Well good point thinking of scenarios that might happen. It does help, but there is so many scenarios that can happen and could go wrong, that you just cant be preapared for it. YOu might be preapared for alot of them, but not all.
And about the mind set and traning body, and all, well usual in when some stresful situation comes, your body gets adrenaline rush, that helps alot when ur taking hits, after the fight person dosent even know how many damage did he take since the adrenaline makes the pain not so much notable. So thats a big factor in the fights to.
Well and if that and that situation, i really mean, cmon, lets think about it. You want to do a sceario about one thing, you get jumped in a bathroom in a bar by a drunken man. Ok now lets think, he comes in he starting to talk stuff and you see he wont go away, what are the options, and there are so many WHAT IF question that one scenario can have...
Now lets have a look about a bathroom scenario:
1. What if he has a weapon, any sort knife, gun, beer bootle, brass nuckles,... What would in that case be the best thing to do.
2. What if he starts to jell for his "guys" to help him out against you.
3. What if the floors are wet and its realy slippery, you and him might go straight to the ground.
4. What if its a very small bathroom?
5. What if its a very big bathroom?
6. What if the lights in it are very bad.
7. What if some random persons come in, what should you do, not even give him and attention or give him?
8. What if you punch him and then you have to face the whole bunch of his guys, even tho it wasnt your fault, or after you do take care of him, you got problems whit cops.
9. What if u arent dressed for kicks, maybe you still got a jacket on and it might go on your head and you arent able to see anything....
10. I cant remeber anything more....
Ok so lets take this situation had 4 What if, then we look at scenarios that might happen for example 100 other that are 100% possible to happen in a daily situation and there are again 4 what if, that makes 400 diffrent situation.
Can you say you could be prepapred for it, well not now, maybe, and im just saying maybe you could be, but its like in martial arts, you use only hands, boxing for example you will be so good in it becouse you have trained them in such a way more then 10 years that your very good whit them, or if u train 8 diffrent kicks, alot of blocks, alot of diffrent hands, learning low kick, mid kick high kick, ground fighting,... Of course you will be good at them but not as much as that guy at boxing, so if you take in consideration all that, you will never be as good and as preapared at that situations like you would want. Just to much what if...
And no im not saying any MA is bad i just gaved an example someone used some time ago and stayed printed in my memory.
And dont think im trying to say its useles to preapare your self mentaly and pshyicly for it, but like i said i dont know how would someone preapare for all that bunch of scenarios that might occure.
Have a nice talk futrher
