I wasn't talking about the skill of throwing a precise punch, but the skill of avoiding a real punch (or a flurry of real attacks by a skilled and intended opponent) and of taking a real punch. Those are skills that are too often ignored in the "art" part of the "martial."

Ignorance of what happens in a real fight will defeat you.
