Moved here.

Kat and Spat don't count until they fight their first MMA venues either.

Anyway, this is for MMA fighters.

Do you ever train for "self defense" situations (weapons, multiple opponents, bar fights.. dirty techniques)?

You sure you don't want to add the old "I train MMA never fought but I feel that's enough traiinging?"

Has TBK finally learned how to use the internet?:
[ ] Yes
[ ] No

Naa, this is for people who've actually fought in MMA.

Sweet. This will be a fairly accurate poll of bullshido members that have fought MMA.

Doh! I read the question and voted before reading the thread.

Gah! Now I have to the math in my head after removing your vote to get the proper percentage. Let's see, Two votes...they both voted "yes"... I'll be here all day! Thanks a lot.

Which will be what? All of what, 10 to 15 people?

Seriously, while we definitely have a competitor community here, it isn't that big. Or are you including all forms of full contact comps?

No, just MMA fighters. They are all that matter.

Just out of curiousity, what are you using this data for?

Update: ok, backtracked and got my answer. Are you asking this in any other forums? Because I don't see how you're going to get a sample size that's any more representative than those TMA'ers slinging their just-so stories.
