I will say that being a well rounded fighter is better then trying to master any one style. you must adapt to any situation, and do as much damage as possible as quickly as possible, then get out of that situation.

there are no rules in the street, thats why i also carry my heat
How can my analogy be skewed, this is a guy who has been taught to fight multiple guys at once in his art, yet can't handle one! I don't care if anybody is a black belt in any art fighting style, taking on more than one guy and you are going to get your ass kicked plain and simple!

Even if it was a well rounded fighter taking on 2 or more guys is next to impossible. We have done it down at the academy. And not like in the movies where one guys first is fighting one guy while the others wait. This is like gang tangling in football.

Especially if the guys attacking are communicating good you are a dead. We had a guy that fought in the UFC Joe Pardo who is a big dude. Between another guy and myself we were able to neutrilize the guy an put a choke on him.

I do agree with you that you need to incorporate striking/grappling to make it complete. You don't want to become a one dimensional fighter.

And street fighting is different as you never know if the other guy has friends in the crowd, packing heat, or has a . So, it's best to avoid any street confrontations, if possible.
