Here's a couple of videos of folks that used what they learned in class on the street. I hold to my theory : train what your taught, use what you train, and stop worrying what other people train or what techniques they "might" do to you. And you will prevail in a conflict. If you fight like your opponent, you will lose, because this is not how you have trained to fight.
Stick to your guns, stay in your style, excecute techique as you've been trained and you'll be the survivor.

Here's a couple of reasons I train Wing Chun. Close quarters can happen quick, and if you don't know what to do you will hurt. And defense against multiple attackers is a skill that MUST be taught, drilled and honed. On the street I've rarely seen people use much technique when attacking another in anger, hatred or fun. Too much emphasis in training what other arts teach when that's not even going to be what you come across in a street fight. You might as well train how street thugs will swing at you in class. Wild punching, hair pulling, hidden knives in the hand, and grappling attempts in the heat of battle. That would be practical cross-training.

Now this is aweful, but a good example why I don't like the idea of going to the ground on purpose. Or as my tactic in a fight. Just too risky on many levels! and this is just a tournament! (p.s.- I think I would just DIE if I ever did this to someone!)

Just my two cents.
