Yes, in most martial arts training we assume parity, a priori, or same knowledge, and a mutual understanding/agreement of the situation.

This tends to cause us to form an idea about what fights are, how you fight them, what the rules are, and from what distance they start and end. If you training from equal ma'ai and knowledge of the situation, then you will form opinions and responses that may or may not occur on the street!
Concur 100% I have seen more than a few Dojo Superheros get thier butts handed to them in the real world. The same can be said of almost any athletic pursuit.
