I would have to agree with most of what Nimzo-Larsen Attack said. But I'd like to add that fighting and self defense/killing/disabling in real life situations are quite different. In fighting competitions, the rules are there for a reason obviously, and the techniques they train in would definitely not be AS effective as an art/practice that focused completely on killing or disabling threats quickly and effectively.

For most self-defense arts like Krav Maga and Systema, there are no real, absolute rules, especially those concerning your enemy's safety.

Training for a fight competition would be starkly different from training for a fight to the death.

I have to agree.

I have seen (and experienced) situations for a long time.

For "in-house", rules have to secure safety

For reality, safety has to be of individual protection

It depends. Solo is fun, but you can't do everything solo. How can you compare hitting a stationary target, to have a partner hold pads and doing combos? Or sparring?
