I don’t really understand what you mean by "playing tag". I think I didn’t quite grasp your analogy.
And the only reason that I use "maybe" a lot is because I am merely an amateur that is speculating on all of this. I’m not going to pass my views off as concrete.

And if it comes to a fight then as you said you will fall back on your training. |

I thought that learning some decent RBSD would be better at teaching you how to spot, interpret and avoid a hostile situation better than a BJJ or Muay Thai class would. The "maybe" is there because I have never been to a RBSD class and am judging that purely on reading. But is that really an argument that has no legs?
I'm not having a go at you or anything Uke, I'm just continuing the debate :P
