Fighting vs. boxing or any other sport oriented system seems to fill the same shoes. I was watching a re-run of the Tom Selleck TV-Movie series "Jesse Stone" when one scene had this exchange:
Candace Pennington: Did you ever box?
Chief Jesse Stone: Oh, I don't box, I fight.
Candace Pennington: What's the difference?
Chief Jesse Stone: Rules.
I laughed to myself that although this is a movie the quote does speak to a truism of fighting and violence. Whether sport or self imposed rules tend to muck it up and can be detrimental to your safety if you don't have the right mind-set along with reality-based practice and training.
Tough Stuff.....really cool series that seems to fit Mr. Sellect well......
