I have taken Mike's advice into every fight I've been in. No amount of armchair training can prepare you for when your adrenaline really hits.
Absolutely this, however, doing drills and sparrings is necessary so your body know how to move without your mind, i mean, completely untrained people just flailing and doing haymakers while those who doing drills at least can throw some straights and jabs and clinch and double leg takedown and some throws, at least i can do this automatically without thinking
Some personal experience: I've trained a little, I'm not a professional fighter. All my very few fights have been street fights. I've been trained how to takedown but I can't find enough thought to actually do it fight. The absolute best thinking I've ever done in a fight was remembering my boxing hits and even that was more of a flash than a rational thought. Honestly the thought "RUN!" comes up more often in a fight for me than anything actually useful to fight.
Yes) this! You train for exact that flash of memories when your body do the job without mind intact, body just by reflexes should act on self defence, because everyone's mind screaming to run and muscles are becoming like jelly when time to fight comes, i mean every country trains their professional soldiers exactly for this, so their body would work/fight properly without mind intact
