Reality-based self defense is a specific approach to self defense training focusing on practical applications, such as defending yourself against an attack on the street, rather than training you to move up by achieving different belt colors through fights with similarly trained students. RBST Training covers a range of possibly dangerous scenarios, and often includes weapons such as guns, knives, batons, and other self defense devices in addition to unarmed moves.
In RBSD, high importance is placed on skills that would be useful in an attack situation, rather than acrobatic techniques, rituals, and other elements of traditional martial arts training that focus on aesthetics rather than practicality. Proponents of reality-based self defense training believe that the average person should learn tactics that allow safe response and escape during a confrontation, rather than consideration of style or form. Most RBSD practitioners believe in arming themselves as quickly as possible to bring an end to the situation, rather than focusing on unarmed skills during their training.
Reality based self defense training includes gross motor skill development through activities like squats and push-ups, as these strengths are believed to be enhanced by the effects of fear and stress, rather than deteriorating as is the case with complex and fine motor skills. While skills such as a hook punch, a knee strike, and a straight punch are central to reality based self defense programs as they are in traditional forms of martial arts, much of the advanced training focuses on armed moves.
In contrast to most forms of martial arts, reality based self defense focuses on situations that are armed and take place in a hazardous environment, rather than primarily unarmed moves in a controlled situation. When it comes to actually protecting yourself in the real world using RBST techniques, the way you train and how you have been trained will be central in determining whether you may be successful at fighting off an attack.
When undergoing reality-based self defense training, the reality of self defense situations must be central in your mind. There is more than one type of attacker, and you must make sure that you are prepared for any attack and any attacker. The more options you have for fighting back, the greater your chances of succeeding. Memorized, karate-style moves won't work in a real situation. Street fights are only choreographed in the movies; in real life, no two fights will be the same. Most traditional martial arts assume that an attacker will act in a specific way, but in the real world, this is not always the case. For example, in order to use a basic throw technique, a mugger must first grab you from behind without a weapon. How likely is this to happen? Your reality-based self defense training must teach you how to fight back no matter how the confrontation happens.
Learn how to use your body's defense instincts to your advantage while developing mentally for these situations, as often your chance of success depends on your mental and emotional state. Unlike martial arts competitions, which you will generally be prepared for ahead of time, real-life confrontations generally come with no warning. Will you be prepared to act? Reality based self defense can prepare you to do what you need to do.
