But Mixed Martial Artists use the simplest and most effective moves from different Martial Arts. I agree that fighting is not the answer to solve problems. All I am saying is that Mixed Martial Arts is very effective. I would give a person who has trained in Multiple Martial Arts the edge over someone who has trained in maybe one Martial Art or no Martial Art/Self Defense system.

Quick (me), mid, and late adrenaline. As a quick adrenalizer if I don't move immediately the adrenaline turns to fear. The mid adrenalizer is probably best. The late is the guy who starts going ape-shit after his heads been beat in. Adrenaline is a bitch. There needs to be a class on adrenaline control. Quick (me), mid, and late adrenaline.

Usefulness in a street fight: Useless, useless, decent, good. Fights are quick, nasty, usually in very close quarters and won't allow for any fancy "technique". Striking first, fast, and consistently is best. The jujitsu's great if you have the distance for a take-down or keeping your cool when pinned or choking and boxing speaks for itself - both of these are useful because you practice with live opponents (esp. boxing). The 'oriental' styles are Arts, thus the name. Fighting is disgusting and super-quick (and strangely, in slow-motion), during my fighting period none lasted more than five minutes. Fights are won quick, resulting in a knockout or a grapple (ground and pound). No time for Jackie Chan BS. I’ve been involved in Taikwondo, Aikido, Brazilian Jujitsu, Boxing.
