Have you met or sparred with any fighters?
Because I'm a black belt in Kyokushin and BJJ, and I have sparred with Wanderlei Silva, Anderson Silva, and Lyoto Machida, and have met some heavyweight fighters such as Brock Lesnar and Randy Couture.

Do you realize just learning the moves and not practicing them daily until they are second-nature is not enough to help you in real life?
The same thing could be said for any sport. Or any hobby, for that matter.
I disagree, fighting is different to those.It's about quick refles. I went to karate as a kid until I quit because I didn't want to get really involved, and I don't think I ever used it to defend myself. Maybe blocking a few blows but not the moves I learned from my teacher, never in real life.
You completely deflected my point. I'm trying to say that all sports will never help you in real life, unless you are a professional athlete.
Basketball players practice their shots over and over, until shooting becomes "second nature".
Same thing for football, and soccer, and even videogames.
Say, you want to play Call of Duty, a game all about twitch reflexes. You practice so much that you can check every corner, and you always get the first shot. When does that come into play in the real world? It doesn't.
