I don't think it'd be fair to characterize my experience as "gym training". I have 6 years of krav maga under by proverbial belt now (in addition to about a decade of other martial arts), and the man I trained under learned it directly from expert training in the Israeli Defense Force (anyone in the Bay Area can probably figure out who I'm talking about). Krav maga isn't like taking karate or tae kwan do around the corner. It's intended to be 100% real world applicable.
While I appreciate that I've not been in the military or law enforcement, I have been in maybe a dozen street fights, most notably when I was in an attempted mugging about 4 years ago. The training kicked in and I was able to disarm and subdue 2 assailants in virtually no time at all because I was trained specifically to deal with that kind of situation. It was apparent to me immediately that the training I had been working on for years was applicable in 'real life'.
Does that mean I know I'd win? Of course not. Still, the fact is that the man would have his back to me. That, to me, suggests a reasonably high likelihood of success in attempting to knock him out.
BTW, she called you a n***er, Tully? I could have sworn you were white.
