It was more the "getting punched in the face" that got me. How useful are these types of activities.

Take Jiu Jitzu. You can grapple someone to the floor, what if there's more than one? So you've had the pinch in the face you've never had but you get the one to the floor, what next?

How practical is it?

I understand someone that does one lesson a month is better than someone who sits on their couch..
