I don't mean to get off topic....

I talk to a lot of folks going for the same job I'm going to - some say that they are not sure how they will react if in a scenario where they would have to kill someone at close quarters, others brag about how they can do it without blinking an eye.

99% of these guys haven't been in a job where they've had to - the 1% who did tended to say that doing it is not a scenario they would brag about one bit or could predict how they were going to react before and after it happened.

That being said - how do reality-based fighters know how they will react if they aren't drilled in spontaneous, resistance that MMA/boxers/muaythai fighters go through?

Unless of course, they go out and get in street fights on a regular basis (i.e. Paul Vunak or Bas Rutten).
