A different perspective on sport vs self defence

An interesting perspective from history
https://youtu.be/bfcpyMdEwzM
You often hear combat sports people disparaging certain applications saying "that never happens" and it's true, in combat sports settings it doesn't happen, but in actual violence personal experience (and a quick visit to the darker corners of YouTube) suggests that it happens all the time (OK, some stuff really never happens).
So then it comes down to focus and aims. If you solely focus on HAOV you're not going to develop the skills for one on one combat against a skilled opponent, but if you solely focus on that it can create a mental complacency which can catch you out if your opponent breaks fight logic.
As Matt says, I believe that development as a martial artist requires both.
