The training significance of a knife weilder cannot be aquired in a close door and gym training .It must be in field which nature are properly expressed,the gentle touch of morning dew and fresh air with the whisper of wilderness are important factor that will help a fighter understand the beauty of what is known as a nature blending and conditioning.

It is only by doing a real training that makes a fighter functional and operational,tactically and strategically.

19th century Italian fencers (schermitores) likewise often trained in the "field" amidst the "morning dew and fresh air", since they often fought actual duels with sharp weapons, like the duelling epee (spada de duello) and light "Radaellian" duelling saber (spada de terreno). The footing on grass is, after all, rather different from that of a wooden floor.
 
Does this mean us city folk should be training in dirty, dark alley ways? The chances of me getting into a combat situation in "the morning dew and fresh air" are pretty slim in New York City.
I hear what you are saying about training realism, but in big cities, training outdoors (specially weapons training) can attract alot of unwanted and negative attention.
 
I don’t feel that training in a classroom environment is completely useless. Remember, training is the act of executing an action repeatedly. This allows individuals to review, critique, modify, and vary different ways to execute the drill or technique. A classroom is the perfect environment to accomplish this. Then there is the application of the training. This is where one would consider the terrain, attire, attacker mindset, motives for the attack, etc…However, in order to benefit from this type of training, one must first build a strong foundation and knowledge of the MA, whatever the MA. Meaning one must have a deep arsenal to pull from in order to flow when face with a threatening situation. In the end, both types of training are integral to a martial artist’s progress and development.
