"Even the ugliest moves require correct posture, form, etc to cause major pain"

jee t -- spoken like someone who has never been in a street fight before.

Biting while in close, scratching at the eyes, head butting, hair pulling and grabbing your groin like it was a toy are common occurances in a street fight. They are performed by aggressive and sick-minded people who KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO HURT PEOPLE. None of these 'moves' requires anything in the way of 'correct posture'. And besides, the BEST way to become a fighter is to fight - that's a fact. You get together with a guy who has been fighting on the streets his entire life, he has has plenty of experience in the art of making people feel pain.

Best street fighter I ever knew was a guy I worked with at a particular bar. He never took a martial art in his life; he just grew up fighting. Ironically, the WORST street fighter I ever knew was a guy who also worked at that same bar. He was a third degree black belt in TKD, and couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.
