4 Crucial Points in Self Defense

[Shari Blair]

Here is a bold statement - self defense is not rocket science. In its
simplest form it should be a natural flow of devastating strikes and
movements. No matter what you hear from the up-teen million experts on
the subject, it breaks down very simply. Protect your life at all
cost, using the most devastating forms of hand to hand that you can.
It would be nice if we had 10 years to train in Kung Fu and a red pill
to take to become a combination of Bruce Lee and Neo from the Matrix,
easily rendering our aggressor harmless while gliding through the air.
However, that is not reality, and it never will be, no matter who you
are.
Crucial Points in Self Defense:
1. Violent encounters require that you become a conqueror, a warrior
who does not accept defeat. Here is a good mental note to take with
you in your training. Whenever you go for your self defense training,
go into it with a gladiator's mindset. This means you must train with
intensity!
2. When you go through a mock attack (and it is a must to find an
instructor who trains in this manner!) employ the mindset that you are
really being attacked. This will allow you to download a trained
response onto your hard-drive for future use. So if the worst case
scenario happens, you are prepared.
3. Students should be taught that, once they determine someone is an
aggressor, they must use an "offensive" defense to control the
attacker. The aggressor always presents biological giveaways such as
clinched jaw, clinched fist, overall body posture, closing of
distance, or verbal aggression before an attack. Once you identify
these signals, you unleash preemptively with a barrage of debilitating
strikes.
4. This next point is vital - a violent attack must be met with a
violent response greater than what was delivered by the attacker. An
equal and opposite reaction will not suffice. This will ensure that
your attacker knows you have a "do not go gently" policy and in fact,
you have turned the tables and you are now the aggressor. This is
psychologically defeating for the attacker.
When you were deciding what you wanted to do in life, you more than
likely prepared yourself for it. Whether it was through college, self-
education, finding a mentor, you took steps to prepare for the future.
Take this life principle and apply it to your education in self
defense. You will be surprised how little time it takes for you to
protect your most valuable asset.
