'If your training in a combative sport then it might be an idea to think in terms of the street as in knife or multiples rather than just in terms of a sport .

If you seriously want to heighten those mental , perceptual , cognitive faculties and physical attributes upon which survival in any sense of the term depends then your going to have to find a way of raising your sense of urgency with regards to the guy your training with or fighting at the time . Knife and multiple attacker practices can help you do just that ...'
