How many different styles/arts/systems/types of fighting have you tested your fighting skills against in a medium-to-full-contact format?
What were your results?
What lessons did you learn?
Which lesson was most unanticipated?

I used to talk a whole lot of shit about TKD; how it sucks, it's not effective, etc, etc. Well, let me tell you, once you meet a good TKD practicioner things will change. I got to spar with a guy who was an alternate for last summer's olympic TKD team for the US. Holy shit was he fast and holy shit could he kick hard. He almost knocked my ass out with a round kick that I didn't see coming. After that sparring match, I will never ever talk shit about TKD again.
