There is No Such Thing As Fighting Dirty - And Other Self Defense Tips That Wi

[Pauline Winters]

Here is your fact for the day - Our society is becoming more violent.
Violent crimes increase daily and yet, our world is more integrated
than ever. We travel more, commute from home to work, and are out and
about more than our grandparents, or even our parents, were. So, the
question is: how will you prepare to be out in this world, as it
presents increasing risks to your own personal security? You are
taking steps, such as reading this article, to educate yourself. But
what type of training will that education lead you to choose?
When choosing a school at which to train, research both the school and
its instructors to learn their training principles for self defense.
Find a school that is self defense oriented. This will probably mean
the school does not award belts for levels that you complete. Although
certain martial art schools have come around to this new way of
thinking, they are far and few between.
A New Way Of Thinking
Train off the principle that, when under an aggressor's attack, your
body will only allow you to utilize gross motor skills, i.e., simple
movements. You cannot perform intricate jump-spinning back kicks and
other gravity-defying movements with success when under duress. In
addition to requiring a ballet of choreographed movements, certain
martial art schools impress upon the student that he must be prepared
to defend himself after he is physically attacked. Such reactive,
versus proactive, training is not effective and relying on it can be
costly and dangerous. In fact, the best defense (with a new spin on an
old saying) is a good offense.
In addition to advocating easy-to-execute training, the author has
designed the following A.D.D. formula for recognizing and dealing with
possible physical attacks:
(A) Avoid compromising situations. Be aware of your surroundings.
(D) Dissuade any potential aggressor with verbal commands and body
language.
(D) Decimate your aggressor with devastating strikes.
Finally, remember this: there is no such thing as fighting dirty when
it comes to life or death, so when the time comes for you to engage,
be prepared and give it everything you have. Find an instructor who
teaches you to manipulate the body's vulnerable areas such as the
eyes, ears, throat, neck, and groin. Once you have identified an
instructor who emphasizes simple movements, who is teaches an
offensive form of self defense, and who does not shy away from
teaching you to defend yourself at all cost, you will know you have
done your homework completely! All that remains is to train like you
mean it!
