= It doesn't matter whether you know one technique or a thousand--
you can never predict exactly HOW you'll be attacked.
all pre-planned counters go right out the window.
= If you've been programmed by training a specific response to a specific
attack, your self-defense will FAIL if the attack changes by even one inch from
the way you've trained. Your unrehearsed response will be your only response.
= An attack in progress can CHANGE in an instant... and keep on changing
until your dead.
= Believing that One Technique will work against a hundred different
attacks is a suicidal myth. It is far better to develop the ability to
IMPROVISE any strike from any position SPONTANEOUSLY with power,
accuracy and balance than to rely on rigid choreographed responses.
This requires specialized training.
Self-defense is not a sport, a dance
or what you see in the movies. |
= Real self-defense is about IMPROVISATION, SURVIVAL and ESCAPE and not
fancy acrobatic dueling or fighting in the Ring.
= Real self-defense recognizes that trying to grapple or otherwise CONTROL the
enemy exposes you to more danger each additional second you're connected to
him.
= Real self-defense requires training to deal with the reality of MULTIPLE
ASSAILANTS- because if you're focused on grappling on the ground with only one
attacker, his buddies will have an easier time kicking your head in.
= Real self-defense should work even if you're NOT an Olympic athlete.
= Real violence is ugly, unpredictable and chaotic by nature. Your attacker obeys no
rules and neither should you. So why spend years and thousands of dollars
practicing rigid, pre-arranged forms and techniques when you may be fighting
for your life?

| Your Self-defense shouldn't be either. |
