Obviously, someone who dedicates himself/herself to becoming an excellent fighter and trains hard for it is a definite plus, but that being a given, I feel that developing and refining the ability to adapt to the situation at hand and to change or somewhat alter what you are used to doing in order to fit your needs or immediate necessities is the most important thing. hint hint crosstraining, LOL

Also, it probably wouldn't hurt to have that gung ho mentality that it's ok to kill or maim somebody. Regardless of whether your martial arts 'style' supports the taking of the life of another, I feel that being an effective practical street fighter has nothing to do with this type of thing.
