So yes...someone can get me in an armbar and break my arm and no I wouldn't respect them at all. It's just my personal view of things....you don't have to agree, I have plenty of friends who don't agree but I strongly believe my way is the right way and even if I do fight someone I am not going to try and maim them or injure them on purpose or in any serious manner, I intend on proving myself as the better man first and if they end up getting injured because of that then it's their own damn fault.
I can respect that, but I have to say that in a streetfight, I'm more interested in protecting myself from harm while doing the exact opposite to the other guy. The fastest way to do that is to hurt the other person quickly so that they lose the desire to fight, or are unable to fight. Considering the danger inherent in a streetfight, I'm more concerned with survival than honor!

But I do respect where you're coming from, and in a perfect world, I would agree completely. The problem is that the other guy probably won't have your sense of morality and honor...which can be deadly.
