Our personal level of live combat skill is generally, imo, an individual, singular event everytime we engage in serious fighting with anyone.
How well we fare is oftentimes affected less by rank or title than it is by all previous realtime fighting experience, including the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Personal self-confidence and mental expectations regarding the outcome of any fight are largely influenced by previous outcomes in similar situations.
Thus, our most realistic default skill level will typically be whatever our consistently best previous outcomes have been. This usually requires an 'on the job' training process which only produces enhanced skills through lots of ongoing experience in the practical application of whatever we regularly practice.
