Time has little matter. It's how effective your training is.

Bruce's philosophy when it came to fighting was basically to discard anything that was useless in martial arts and had the practitioner absorb nothing bt the useful parts. So there was no real fighting style, just effective fighting. And when possessing that skill, you go on about the rest of your life until the need to kick ass arises. Then you proceed to kick ass.

Fighting in a ring, I've noticed, is so different because it does away with much of the mentality. In a REAL fight, there is no time for mental preparations. No time to psyche yourself up; no time to warm yourself up. That initial surprse element is a huge factor, and in any daily life situation, it's often also a determining factor.
