HowToAskQuestions
But what people really fail to understand is the fight game is predominantly mental. It's ultimately a question of intimidation, and that's where the training pays off.
It's true that most "street fight" attackers choose targets they are not intimidated by. (And speaking to the idea of a physique helping in this respect, I would point out that how you carry yourself goes even further, which again is a psychological attribute.) Furthermore, these attackers have every expectation their targets will cave quickly. If you don't mentally collapse after that first sucker punch, and instead of being intimidated, you counter with serious intent, you can force your attacker to question the whole situation. At that point, they're on the defensive mentally, and it won't take much physically to end it. So even against someone bigger, stronger, etc., this is a lot easier than being in the ring with someone who's prepared and knows what they're up against.
MMA is riding on marketing hype on par with action movies. It's nothing new. That's what goes on in "traditional" schools after the scheduled classes.
Nothing is impossible; for those who doesnt have to do it themselves.

This isn't a flame.
Action movies have never portrayed martial arts (or anything else) in a realistic fashion. But I'm afraid your "counter" perception of martial arts being suited only for "honorable" combat situations is not accurate either.
I trained for about 15 years, and situations of unequal size/strength, weapons, multiple attackers, and "unexpected" attacks are precisely what martial arts should prepare you for. Certainly, there are various techniques to apply, and "knowing" them isn't enough -- you need to drill them to the point they become second nature. Because it's NOT a case of patterns: "if they do this, you do that." It's being prepared to react to any attack with whatever that second nature dictates. (My own fighting didn't get good until I stopped thinking and just trusted myself to go on "automatic," without worrying about what came at me.)

By the way, multiple attackers is part of the higher belt exams. I've seen as many as 5 against 1. How these scenarios tend to play out is rather counter-intuitive, but if you know how to handle it -- and more importantly, that you CAN handle it...
