However, I think I can defend myself. Maybe not as well as some of you warriors but for an average guy I'm fine. Even if you don't like the way FSD sparrs it sure taught me a hell of a lot.

Sorry for giving you a hard time before Enhanced but I really thought you were an instructor. It seemed as though you had been drinking the kool-aid for a long time and one is always suspicious of the nut-huggers.
As for what you said above, I have to tell my experience again. I'm not sure how long you've done FSD, but I assure you that I was a faithful practitioner for over 10 years. I wish I knew who you were because we might have even sparred at one time. Anyway, I was a good sparrer, wasn't afraid of anyone, and could hold my own against many of the sifus. Having said that, I was seriously schooled when I left FSD. I'm a confident fighter and thought that I would have no problem against the "average fighter". However, now I'm not so sure. I have to agree with TKD and tell you that rarely will you be fighting an average fighter. There are people who shoot their mouths off but don't really want to fight you, which will allow yours and my "aggressive fsd ask questions later attitude" capitalize on these individuals. But for those who want to fight/attack/mug you will not be like these others I just mentioned. They will make short work of your FSD techniques. The best thing you've got in your corner is a hard head and hopefully ability to take a lot of punches. For me I would rather be on the giving end and correct my bad habits and philosophy. I believe you would too.
What I'm telling you is I'm glad you've decided to check out other schools because it will help you improve greatly, and also pull the shudders back from your eyes which will allow you to see that you were very naive to think that you'll be fine against the average guy.
I also recommend Ronin in Ottawa. They have very good instructors and fighters to help push you forward.
