I want to get into martial arts, but some of my male friends say although it’s a good hobby and may put me a step above the rest, in a real situation against a man, even one with no training it wouldn’t matter very much at all.
What do you guys think? Is he mostly right that training will be borderline useless in a real world situation, or should I be more optimistic about the benefits it could have for me in a combative situation?
Yes I realized I fucked up on the title making sense and yes I meant opponent not component.
