Dems Da Breaks

hey everyone, im new to this system, but i figured most people wont check that newbie forum, so i', gonna just dive right in.

most martial arts out there stress the point of competition throughout there varied types. but sometimes, the type of competition you enjoy isn't provided. so, i was wondering, how do you most prefer to apply your martial art training?

personally, i enjoy a good fight on the streets. not anything that involved emotion, but me and my friend get out some boxing gloves and duke it out in a basement.

what about you guys?

LOl You guys are funny- Dont mind them Merc they are slightly deranged.
For me its the opposite- I use the training to mellow me out so I DONT have trouble on the street- I have 2 assault convictions from my early 20s years back. Most people really cant fight well. So if your pretty skilled , you hurt them. However when you take it easy, you could run into one of the few that can destroy you . So its a catch 22 . I learned my lesson hard way-
Since then
Ive suckered a few cocky types that like to push and kid that way into "wrestling" matches the last 10 years or so. That qualifies I guess. Its far better than actualy throwing down with them. I also had 2 actuall fights in the last ten years. One got me written up in paper and on TV as a "hero-" since my opponent was a car thief, which was pretty cool, and the other against a crazy person who lost it on booze. However, m not sure if it makes up for the numerous maulings Ive taken in the gym against top guys who use me as test dummy for new moves.

Whenever I catch Grandma with her back to me, I run up and slap a choke on her and kick out her leg...just to keep her on her toes.
