I’m a black belt and former amateur cage fighter and I trained my entire life to obey rules that don’t exist on the streets. I trained not to strike eyes, balls or the back of the neck which just happen to be the best targets when you’re in trouble. It’s all muscle memory now. When the adrenaline dumps you don’t rise to your expectations, you sink to your level of training and in most cases that training rules out the best defense against a street fighter.
