Almost all my background has been in grappling and only started stand-up training in college. I can say from my own personal experience, TMA has helped me learn to get comfortable psychologically with being kicked and punched at. I know that it sounds stupid, but FOR ME, being repeatedly attacked gave me the confidence to get past the fists and taking the fight into my arena. I chose Kung-fu and it has given me the tools I need (although those tools still need perfecting) but, then again, I'm not looking to submit Jackson. I fight/spar as a sport and only as far and it is enjoyable. I'm not training to kill... It is all about your objective.
