I guess the 0.1 per cent of fights that Ray mentions is when someone hits their partner when they're both in bed at the time ;o) If not being there in the first place, or at least not being able to get the hell away from the situation as fast as you can, are obsolete choices, then trying to stay on your feet is a much better option than willingly rolling around in the dirt.

We aren't sure that is actually the case, but we -can- say with a fairly high level of confidence that 9.9 out of 10 real fights start standing up.

And JK hit it on the head with BJJ guys bringing up how alot of other fights like a cop arresting someone ends up on the ground stat. Thanks you guys for your input, I would like to know since you can't walk around town with a kali stick (I sometimes carry my butterfly knife) and since (this is my observation) you guys prefer stand up fighting, do ya'll practice punching stuff like those guys who break cinder blocks on tv; you know to condition hand bones so they won't break when you punch? Also, I thought about doing some stick work with ankle/wrist weights attached to my wrists. Is that a good idea instead of using something heavier than kali sticks?
