Because I’ve tested it against advanced martial artists—individuals far more skilled and dangerous than the average street fighter. And different styles and arts. Not just one style or art. And some of these martial artists were also street fighters. If I can handle them, I can handle the street.
And yes, I’ve done the hard sparring. I’ve taken the hits, earned the bruises, and collected the bruised bones. That’s real pressure testing. I don’t need to go out looking for street brawls to validate my training—my injuries already speak for themselves.
I’m not underestimating anyone. Some street fighters are strong, but many of the fights you see online are honestly laughable in terms of skill. It’s like comparing a race car to a go-kart.
By your logic, if someone owns a Glock, going to the shooting range and getting good at using it isn’t enough—they’d have to go out and actually shoot people to prove it works. That’s not proof; that’s insanity. And let’s not forget—if someone pulls a gun or a knife on you, it’s no joke. Both are incredibly dangerous, and even with training, you’re likely to get hurt. Maybe even killed. Training, sparring, and controlled testing are how true martial artists refine and validate their skills.
