Mirko_Filipovic Stylist? Everyone is a Stylist. So that would kinda be the same thing as Martial artists. Pioneer. lol. Well, actually you are correct. Everyone has a style. But I was referring to "Stylist" in the terms of a person conforming to a particular style, as in Orthodox. When a person fights in such a manner, they are a bit more predictable, and thus slightly easier to overcome.

Yeah. I mean, there's not even a real way to make this topic more specific, without going into specific styles, which isn't what this thread is about.

In my opinion, Brawlers are usually people with no formal training, style or in some cases, no technique to speak of(though that's not always the case. Some of them learn proper technique simply from fighting. Others, don't). They're usually people who have no formal training, and simply fight for the hell/fun of it.
A fighter, to me, is the same thing as a martial artist. A person trained in a specific style of fighting developed in order to further a person's skill when engaged in a fight. I think my main problem with how people see the martial arts today is as that they're a seperate entity and almost above fighters. It's nice to say that we don't use it for personal gain or pleasure (i.e: going out and kicking people's asses randomly), and simply for self-protection, but the truth of the matter is that martial arts are fighting techniques. There's a reason why they're called "martial" arts. The art of war. So at their core, no matter what their reasons for training, a martial artist is training to be a fighter.

In a fight, experience is more valuable then training. Training is good too, but not nearly as important as experience. A brawler who has been fighting for his life his entire life would mop the floor with all but the greatest martial artists.

I know that in a real fight, I'd rather have some experienced bar-brawler behind me than a guy who's trained in Karate for most of his life.

If I had to choose between two different things I'd always choose both. However, experience is better than training. A highly trained martial artist still doesn't have the mental preparation for knowing how to take an ungloved punch, or fight tooth and nail.
