A lot of the "self defence" trainings will work great when the attacker complies with your moves.
The “aggressor” has to comply during training or he/she can get hurt.
Never heard of an aggressor " complying " with a victims request
@@manborg84 the uke gets upset when you throat strike them before you throw them.. when I'm the uke I comply so my limbs stay intact, real life situations are different.. best to distract the victim.. uhhh.. i mean aggressor first...
What Mark said about looking people in the eye is right on the money. Fighting isn’t just limited to physical movement it’s also a mental skill. You have to adopt an eccentric mindset which may even the odds in your favour.
Eye contact is a powerful form of communication, the most obvious and it’s seminal in that your body language shifts due to what you are looking at and how you feel in that present moment. In effect when someone looks at you, it dictates how you react to them. I would seriously recommend people look their potential attacker dead in the eye with intent and focus. No one likes to be examined, glared at etc.
It’s a psychological prerequisite that can make or break a situation.
The amount of times I’ve been involved in arguments, potential fights with others knowing full well they could have me but my eye contact instantly shuts them down, because I use intent, focus and energy into what who I’m looking at.
An example: I once went to a club with my girlfriend, we left but she waited outside as i dashed to the loo, when I returned there was ten, TEN guys surrounding her, hugging her, trying to seduce her.
The leader of the pack even had his arms around her I took one look at him and all of them FLED!
If they wanted to, they could have threatened me, surrounded me, nope, I gave them that terminator look 👀 and they not only apologised for talking to my women but they were prettified. Ten big, tall guys and here’s skinny ol me but the look on my face said it all. Even my girlfriend was impressed and surprised how I was able to deter them. My friends say it’s because Im black but I don’t think so.
Anyways you have to learn to act or at least take a problem seriously. Use eye contact, body language as a warning tactic before your forced to engage. Good luck.
I think the best self-defense is to strike first and strike hard to avoid it from escalating out of control, other than that is to run away really fast.
In the first clip, the big guy started off well. Getting her in the "right" mindset. But then, he took the "foot off the gas" if you will, when he seemingly relaxed after she fought back. In a real scenario, your attacker will escalate the violence, once you fight back. The biggest problem I see with these self defense classes. Is that they always end up making the attacker compliant to your moves. In a real attack scenario, your attacker will be many things. Compliant isn't one of them.
Exactly. The first video clip is a stupid fantasy. Dangerous, even.
Yes the reality is that when you fight back, your opponent is going to become more enraged, unless they are highly trained. You make a great point.
i get it, if Karen is not violent enough against Donut Joe, there, she'll only piss him off. but if the attacker is not in it for their life and is just trying to assert dominance or horse around (let's call that "bullying" 🤣) but the victim shows a ferocity equal to cats trying for their life not to get into the bath tub, then yeah, i can see a big dude backing off after experiencing some shrieker shit. now on the other hand, if professionals are involved, like fuckin sicarios out to get housewife Karen (can barely type this, lmao 🤣)... yeah... bye bye Karen and her afternoon self defense class. i know i used a bit too much color but you get the picture. depends what you train for. law enforcement and paramilitary should always train with 100% violence of action. Karen, can get a pass, sometimes, don't you agree? I am assuming that is a class for everybody who pays... the "sensei/renshi/kyoshi/hanshi/sifu/whatfuckingever" has to make a living somehow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's the infinite paradox of sparring. You're supposed to train realistically, but you never actually know unless someone tries to take you out. When I used to train people would hit you hard enough to hear the bells ring. But I guess this is often not socially acceptable, certainly when it concerns female self defense. I reckon for women the only way to figure it out is through actual competition leading to ko or submission.
@@84NZ41 that's the big problem, right? There just simply aren't enough serious people in the world to fill up classes and keep the lights on. Too many casuals that THINK they want to learn self-defense or a martial art, but drop immediately when they are exposed to a stress like realistic drilling or sparring. Like you said, the instructor has to make a living and is forced to water it down for the masses to retain clientele. It's a hard situation.
I grew up in a neighborhood with a growing gang problem. My friends and I each trained in a different martial arts and then we cross trained each other using likely scenarios. We quickly eliminated techniques that wouldn't work in real situations. One of our group was jumped by five guys. They fractured an arm with a baseball bat, which he didn't know until later. He put three of them in the hospital. The other two ran off. I would say we trained well.
Well done man
Five against one & at least one of the five had a baseball bat as well. Three of the five ended up in the hospital & the other two ran off. Did they attack your friend one at a time? I'm not calling Bullshit however I can definitely smell it in the air.
And then everyone clapped
i know it has been awhile but how many were in the group that got jumped?
ACHOO. Sorry I'm allergic to possible bullshit
The phrase "can't learn to swim without getting in the water" comes to mind.... LOVE THE VIDEO... and YES- this is good.
I completely agree that there should also be “trauma” in training. I have witnessed first hand people who have trained in martial arts for years freeze in a real life situation.

Wow, I’m honoured to be on the channel!! Keep up the great work guys and thanks for tagging me 👌
You're welcome Sir. Love your work too. Wish you future success. 🙏
I love both your guys channels. Keep up the fantastic work you guys do🤜
Much love to both of y'all
That women's self defense session was quite memorable. At the first watch, it made my blood boil. Able to have a good laugh this time.
@@QuantumPyrite_88.9 Have you watched that channel?.So damn funny!
I absolutely agree with the eye contact point. Some years ago I was sent to an Open University summer school in a dodgy area of Manchester. I was walking back to the campus on a wide city street when I saw that someone on the other side of the road had seen me and started to cross the road at an angle that would mean we would meet. Alarm bells rang! I kept my walking rythm the same but shortened my stride, so for the same number of steps I was covering half the distance and he arrived on the pavement some yards ahead of me. I watched him all the way. Eventually he said he wanted to see what was on my tee shirt. Yeah right! You do that don't you? Anyway, I am convinced that because I was aware of him and he knew it, the potential danger was averted.
This was before I had taken up any martial art. After my graduating with my degree I took up Wing Chun under Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe and I have been one of his students for 20 years now. In the class we do simulated street defence, where it is outside of the classroom, the ground isn't smooth and even, it is poorly lit and the scenarios can be 2,3,4 or even 5 on one. They may attack or they may not, just like in real life. You can't just eye gouge anyone who looks dodgy, you have to respond to what happens.
I'm not reading that lol
You said the key phrase, "The mindset" mastering that is key. people will do anything to put the hurt on you
I am a small guy and have always looked for ways to learn for self defense my whole life. here are my conclusion. 1.athleticism is super important ( strength, speed, reaction...ect), so go and get involved in some sports for fun ( its good for everything in your life) 2. only learn something that you can train everyday for it to be effective. 3. a good pepper spray is a must. 4. situational awareness is super important. Thats it! everything else is all bullshit unless you are willing to train fulltime and have a good size and good physical condition.
It´s not the size of the dog in a fight, but the size of a fight in a dog
Bruce Lee warned about these fake trainings 40 years ago. Apparently not many people listened, not even martial arts practitioners sadly.
@@Kmasse8 I wish what you say was true but in reality is size does matter and criminals normally have more experience on the street, plus they prey on easy targets, meaning they must be much bigger or out-number a victim or they wouldn't do it.
@@QuantumPyrite_88.9 you are only 1/2 right. sure, athletics who are not trained specifically in fighting would have a hard time fighting someone who has had experience in fighting, but because of their ability to react and move fast plus strength. I bet you they can avoid being hurt or would handle themselves much better than most of normal folk. After all fighting in general requires athleticism just like in any sport.
@@namnguyen1969 size is just a size is like outer shell reality is more simple and practical it's the inner strength . You can't see strength you feel it when get in contact with somebody they may not put you down u but one will have a harder time wrestling them
You know, I never went this deeply in the training I've done with my students. We've done maybe a quarter of this type of training. I think after viewing this insightful video I'll make those adjustments.
Good video! You have to be comfortable being uncomfortable - if your first time being punched hard/grabbed/taken down is in the street you're screwed
Being an older woman, I'd sign up for the tough one in a heartbeat. No playing around.
Much respect to you.
What Mark said about looking people in the eye is right on the money. Fighting isn’t just limited to physical movement it’s also a mental skill. You have to adopt an eccentric mindset which may even the odds in your favour.
Eye contact is a powerful form of communication, the most obvious and it’s seminal in that your body language shifts due to what you are looking at and how you feel in that present moment. In effect when someone looks at you, it dictates how you react to them. I would seriously recommend people look their potential attacker dead in the eye with intent and focus. No one likes to be examined, glared at etc.
It’s a psychological prerequisite that can make or break a situation.
The amount of times I’ve been involved in arguments, potential fights with others knowing full well they could have me but my eye contact instantly shuts them down, because I use intent, focus and energy into what who I’m looking at.
An example: I once went to a club with my girlfriend, we left but she waited outside as i dashed to the loo, when I returned there was ten, TEN guys surrounding her, hugging her, trying to seduce her.
The leader of the pack even had his arms around her I took one look at him and all of them FLED!
If they wanted to, they could have threatened me, surrounded me, nope, I gave them that terminator look 👀 and they not only apologised for talking to my women but they were prettified. Ten big, tall guys and here’s skinny ol me but the look on my face said it all. Even my girlfriend was impressed and surprised how I was able to deter them. My friends say it’s because Im black but I don’t think so.
Anyways you have to learn to act or at least take a problem seriously. Use eye contact, body language as a warning tactic before your forced to engage. Good luck.
I was teaching a class where we were showing techniques how to break a grip and a girl asked me why I was gripping her wrist so tightly. She didn't understand that someone on a street wouldn't be trying to be gentle with her.
I took a model mugging course for men so that I could experience fight or flight stress. Have a video on it. I learned some things. One thing I learned is that gross motor defense techniques, high margin of error moves work best in a real situation. Forget anything fancy. Your coordination is going to be off in real situation so learn a few gross motor techniques, simple moves really well targeting soft areas.
👍...leave the fancy stuff to Hollywood movies...
He's right...I;m lucky to be blessed with very quick reflexes, defensive awareness, KO Punching and kicking power in the ring, but felt more "street complete" when I trained full-contact with a SEAL for 10 years lots of weapons drills and grappling , and it's served me well in a street fight quite a few times .....(I live in a rowdy small town) Those no-contact drills are useless,..them folk are wasting their money. The training in the opening minute is the way to go.I love this channel..to the host, keep up the great work!
Self defence is NOT SPORT......
THE FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE HAS NO RULES AND IS NOT A GAME THE DEFENDER HAS TO GIVE THEMSELVES PERMISSION TO DO ANYTHING NECCASSARY!

@Matt THX …. We’re Yanks…. There’s no National Healthcare Services to applaud. Our CMS ( Centers for Medical Services) is a different species all together
I agree with every word, I started wing Chun training but I left after 2 months, not because of the techniques that I was learning but I felt that I wouldn't be able to use it because I was not in the right mindset at the time. That killer instinct was not being taught, that emotional aspect of it was not there.
What did you decide to train in instead, assuming you wanted to.
Now that you're aware of emotional content, simply add to your training, no matter the system/style. Introduce it to the instructor & training partners too!
And we really that you're not practicing the right martial arts. Wing Chun is one of the worst martial arts in the world.
Most martial arts do not fight enough for fear of running off there customers. But you have to fight to learn how to fight. Distance and timing.
Train in muay thai and jiu-jitsu then you will become a complete fighter
I understand your point that we need to train our women with realistic scenarios. At the same time, you won’t get many women, especially the ones who need it, to train with such aggression. There needs to be a balance. I’ve been attacked before so I know how useless martial arts is. Also, I’ve left most schools because they were too aggressive and it triggered my ptsd. Thai aggressive Krav Maga system just doesn’t work. I do agree that we need mental and emotional training first. Most women who are attacked are disempowered. So getting them to be confident is first priority. And when we smile and enjoy it, we learn better and faster. So once again, I do believe we need balance.
As someone who has been an instructor and taught self defense to women, this has been my experience as well. Men are more likely to pay to go through something like that in order to come out with the most "bad ass" fighting skills. Women don't do well being yelled at, even when they understand that it is "all an act" and will many times drop out of classes if they find that the instructors are too aggressive.
@@PsychicMikeTarot you obviously know a lot of weak women. Maybe I should introduce you to my mother, sister and girlfriend. There are three humans on this planet I fear more then them and I’ve fought all three of them.
Not all women are weak. That’s a stupid stereotype perception to have. You obviously don’t know a lot of strong people who can handle themselves, female or not.
Thanks Mark, Your videos are always worth watching and learning from.
Great videos and advice guys, thanks for posting, much appreciated
Completely agree. Thank you!!!!!
Great points made. Thanks
This was really interesting. I never thought about it like that. Thank you! Love this format by the way 👍
Agreed. I honestly love this channel. Y'all put out real content this is important.
So many places out there put you in a comfortable environment. Which is B.S.
Great video as always!! Thanks!!!
Thank you for presenting this issue in a professional and encouraging, enlightening way. Bless your channel more and keep creating great contents. Thanks again for this vid.
Great video! I would definitely sign up for that intensive training in that Kalah system.
Always great advice!…
Excellent Advice and Video thanks Gent's 😊
Thank you for helping us so much.
Good points as always
I am sharing all your videos to Facebook. Thank you for all your work to help people prepare and do all they can to survive.
I agree with you here 100% that the emotional aspects of these situations is so important in training.
Very true facts love this channel
Training has to be real good choice of words
Great video. The best martial arts lesson I ever had was when my kickboxing instructor lined up everyone that wanted to spar, and walked down the line punching each in the face with a glove on. He hit us hard enough to knock us back a few steps. Very quickly determined who actually wanted to spar full-contact. The look of shock on some of the students' faces was telling.
Good breakdown and commentary
Even with my background in Boxing and Wrestling I have learned so much watching this Channel with regard to unconventional hand to hand.
A HUGE Thank you!
To clarify- it is reasonable to START your training with more relaxed, "fun", and smiley style situations while you are teaching your students the basics and movements of the techniques.
This should ramp up to training against more resistance, and eventually to training during a stressful environment. This is a natural ramp up of training.
Look at any military training regimen, they begin with how you hold the weapon and how you use the weapon in a relatively low stress environment then ramp it up from there.
This is real right here! Great way! Make it real!
Good videos man ! Much Respect!
Great Video!
You guys are awesome!
Ever since I heard the advice, don't try to plan how to deal with an attack but instead have a strategy this has fundamentally changed my approach to training. Thanks guys! :)
The emotional content really is the key. The overwhelming majority of people have never been on the receiving end of explosive anger, which is a completely different animal to normal angry outbursts. That difference alone may be the determining factor in whether you win or lose and in a defensive encounter losing could very well mean losing your life.
Good stuff
Three things to master for self-defense:
1. Calming your mind
2. Reacting quick
3. Running
Easier said than done

@@master-of-mind5881when you look someone who is agressive and crazy in the eye, all you surely get is a violent attack from that person. No crazy dudes like to be stared at, esp. in the eye, You were very lucky back then, to subdue all those people by looking them in the eye
As long as you have consent to push your students, and they have a safe word of sorts, I actually like it
I have caught shoplifters in a retail setting for the better part of 20+ years in the US. Many fights, struggles, verbal judo, etc. has heightened my alert system to such a high it's hard to turn off. All of the interactions have taught me so much about what to expect from people...I always expect the unexpected and constantly move out of the way to not be an easy target.
IF you can find a trainer that puts you into realistic, difficult positions in real life scenarios, feel lucky you got that training.
I had no say something when I read your post and mentioned "verbal judo" as that was one if many things we were taught in Police Academy. I've never seen it mentioned anywhere until now. We had a fond nickname for it as it was known as "gerbil voodoo" or at least we pronounced it that way. That is a course that many people should read about and grab the book. It is useful for many aspects of life....but de-escation and dealing with hostile people are it's best uses. My 2cnts.
Thank you for the balanced and thoughtful review. I'm one of the women shown, and I want to express my appreciation for your professionalism while reviewing our self defense and combat system.
I've been training KALAH for two years now, and all training and pressure tests throughout happened with my full consent. What's more, I thank my training partners and teachers for their care in setting up the simulations as safety conscious as humanly possible. I believe the techniques/principles in KALAH to be effective, and the pressure we put ourselves under in training to be the closest approximation we can safely come to a real self defense situation.
An excellent assessment, in a world of frauds and fools, you and your channel provide a legitimate resource for all who are at risk. Thank you.
This is so priceless!
You guys are heaven sent, thank your for these videos. Wish I was in the UK if you guys have in person training.
I fully agree with the fact that trainers should make the situation as real as possible for maximum effectiveness!
So right.....👌
Great video! That's unfortunately very true that almost nobody would sign up for a really effective self-defense training. I wondered for a long time why there are no real pressure tests or realistic scenarios like this anywhere, and I wondered what would be the ideal training, but I realized that it would be unsalable. People will always believe in shortcuts and they are pretty good at convincing themselves exercising slow choreographed moves with a non-resistant opponent will prepare them for the real violence.
You definitely need to train as close as possible to reality. Absolutely correct points. Good video... soooo much better than your rear choke escape video 😅
You guys are spot on! An attack in the street is down right nasty. Ugly . Brutal and maybe deadly. You can be highly trained in a fight style and get whacked. You need to go on the attack like the animal who’s attacking you. Being in touch with and aware of the reality of potential violence and it’s nastiness is of upmost importance.
If you can stay composed while a heavily built 6ft+ man is slapping you about and still be aware of what you need to do then you stand a chance
Grateful to you for sharing these excellent videos Sifu 🙏🏽
If your a woman you have no chance.. Unless you have a gun.
@@jackhammer0101 stupid statement. I’ve seen woman beat men senseless. You obviously don’t know strong women.
Dead Bug! 😆😆😆. Thanks guys once again great stuff.
Super awesome video 💯
I like your way Dr. "Do / Do Not" know how. cheers.
Great article mate,been trying for 40 years to get people to be more serious in training self defence but unfortunately a lot of people have the they all want to be a wolf until it’s time to be one attitude,keep them coming
great video👍🏻
True. Mindset first.
Realism in training is key.
Exposure to situations in training will help you more in real situations.
Our motto is "we train as we fight"
Train good principles for defense, train real life scenarios. Alot of these defense instructional videos do set moves in set scenarios that almost never play out the way you want them to. So build skill, and good situational awareness.
Your work on RUclips is outstanding and informative. And most of all truthful and practical.
very cool self-defense tutorial I like my friend 🙏
Brilliant, as always guys! I'm in what you would call traditional Karate, and I love it, but we have to get waaay more real... I mean, there is so much good stuff to use, I feel we just have to loosen it up and push it a little further. All these good kicks, punches, elbows, knees, angles, and so on... Definately usable. WITH the right mindset, that is! I'm lucky enough to have an open minded Sensei, so I'm sure we'll go on working on it...
Thanks, and keep it up! 👍👊🥋
Greetings from México. Every advice is useful here in latinamerica. Dangerous everywhere. Good channel
High intensity boxing and kickboxing during 2-3 minute rounds is a decent compromise.
So is BJJ rolling and Judo Randori. Okay
Thank you all kind master's.
I trained the Kalah System at Kalah Cape Town and can say from personal experience, the best way yo train by far. 100% recommended.
Hi guys, thankyou very much for a more realistic take on self defense. I've seen a few of you video's and really like your style and logic.
When it comes to the color system and these more realistic self defense classes. I agree that it is a much better way to train for life's dangerous situations, considering the scenarios and emotional extremes that are the reality of finding yourself in these bad situations.
I do feel it is important to consider that training people in this way is extreme and students that already have anxiety or other personality issues may not benefit the same way as someone that really is mentally prepared for this type of training. If a student is not mentally prepared for this kind of training, I can imagine that they could potentially become overwhelmed by the wrong kind of emotions and understanding of the training and either act very irrationally in the real world being hyper afraid or even aggressive.
So basically I'm just suggesting that while this kind of training is certainly better than those unrealistic and to soft examples you showed, it should be wise to make sure there is a focus on the students phycological health and understanding when taking on this more realistic and extreme training.
I don't expect my opinion is perfect , just wanted to share my thoughts. Thanks again for all the work and effort you put in to teaching and helping others. : )
Excellent video. And it also works all the way around. There must be a balance. Some people can also become aware of how dangerous they can become when they unleash their full aggressiveness and lose control in stressful situations. The line to turn from victim to aggressor is very thin. You can't neglect the importance of the legal context around self defense and this might vary from one country to another. You can't go there stabbing, breaking people's arms, noses, or choking them out to death unless it is "absolutely necessary". Self control is also an important skill to master. Stressful situations also help to learn how to deal with your rage and anger.
That was Awesome!!! Osu
Beautiful 👍👍👍
Best advice i have seen in years, this isn't about what martial is best? , is about getting the job done which is self emotional defense
The Krav video was great. The stress is absolutely needed for real world training. Learning the muscle memory and techniques is one thing. But when it's time to drill...train as you fight. And the eye contact, definitely. Let them, a potential attacker, know that you see them.
i like those kalah videos too
Making eye contact is massive. I've saved myself from at least 3 definite muggings in south London by simply looking at the bloke (often behind me) and then also crossing the road while continually looking back. I always cross over the road to test potential muggers out. If they cross to your side, cross to the other side. If they cross back again, you cross again. This has saved me quite a few times..don't be embarrassed to do it, it works. Good video lads.
Ripped shirts, angry slurs and aggression is a great way to stress test your techniques, i am fairly confident in my ability to escape a situation with minimal damage and feel comfortable in s sparring scenario.
My huge downfall is how uncomfortable i become in verbally aggressive arguments, even when i know its very unlikely to become physical i still feel strange, almost like im waiting for it to get physical so i can calm down.
Love it. I was literally thinking "this is so much better/more realistic than the classes I've taught or been in where the students are smiling as they practice the technique" and then you brought that up seconds later. I would not do it with kids or beginner adults, but definitely will with more experienced adults.
Love it. I'll talk to our group about a realism night. Thx. Makes sense to train and get used to the feeling. Do you advise waiting a little till skills mature before doing this?
I always felt unlucky to have little opportunity to train consistently in a system to any degree but having some of very unorthodox teachers who were far less than kind and taking some (realism wake-up) knocks, I look back feeling a lot more confident than if was under one great teacher. I'm no tough guy, but I had a lot of teachers who were, and I sure am better for it! Great vid!
Yea better to have so different points of view than 1 teacher who is teaching wrong for that student
95% + of conflict will be managing and harnessing the fear / adrenaline dump reactions. Manage this well (by training per first two examples in video) and you stand a chance of walking / running away from a real life encounter. Great video and commentary, thanks for posting. Of course using awareness / avoidance might pre-empt you ever getting into situations like this...
It is good to know.
Powerful

Good video and advice, especially about letting the potential threat know that you are aware of their presence!
When I was 19 working in Miami as an insurance agent, going door to door in the Liberty City neighborhood, I would come out of an apartment around 10 p.m. and see the drug dealers on the corner, and dressed as I was, in a suit with a briefcase, I would walk right by them as I was going to my car and show no fear, and just acknowledge their presence by saying hello.
Maybe I was just lucky, but they never once bothered me. They would always reply, though somewhat uncomfortably or surprised, but they let me be!
I've always believed in showing no fear, while being aware of your situation and following your instincts.
To give some perspective, this is a predominantly black neighborhood with a reputation for high crime. I am a light skinned, not white man of mixed ethnicity and a Jamaican who was comfortable in this type of environment.
Any form of self defense training will boost your confidence and that shows in your posture and awareness. That alone makes you a less likely victim because predators prey on the weak. Most of them are not very useful in a real street fight. And than you see instructors with really long hair but you have to grab their wrist according to scenario. :)
I like practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the reason it's very close contact and gets me used to the stress of fighting bigger people (I'm small) and remembering to keep a level head in a mildly stressful situation, but that first minute fighting videos are probably the most realistic way to be great at self-defense , there's no sparing of adrenaline there damn! Thanks for the video!
Why would you want to be in stabbing range?
@@kiljaeden5405 It's true in best case scenario I wouldn't want to be be, but if I didn't have a choice and was in stabbing range, I'd at least have a fighting chance I think
Waow ! A huge thanks for sharing what's missing in almost all the self defense method : do you train with fear ? Now the question is...with hard and realistic approach of violence, who will want to train ? Lol challenging balance to find
This is absolutely true! A real scenario is totally different from a girl's perspective, I have trained in martial arts too and I always ask myself if I got threatened in real life how am I supposed to respond to a male's aggression coz all we ever do in training is playing cool along the way 🤷♀️
That's why I love this video because it's fact.
Am sceptical of wing chung! But this guys videos are the best for reality fighting by far!!
Yeah Kalah is the intense way. But never fought with a crew so kind an humble.
Yes spot on, people like Geoff Thompson 20 years ago were training like this in thier animal day.
Stress training is the best way to truly understand how you are going to be able to react in self defence situations and I do wish that more self defence clubs and traditional martial art would implement this style of training in some way , also not be afraid to say that this technique won't always work but here is 3 or 4 other things that might and must always reaffirm that self defence is about survival for the student and thier loved ones
Well stated. I believe self defense classes should always have an element of this style included. Clearly we need to be brought outside of our comfort zone. We will not be in our comfort zone if involved in a real life situation...so never training that way is not wise. I'm not suggesting it for every training session..as technique and execution of the moves need to be practiced frequently. However to not include the more realistic style and see how we react outside of our comfort zone is a disservice to the students in my opinion. Stay safe. :)
I think another important element which is touched on here is understanding what actual pain feels like so you don't freak out. I remember the first time I was put in a real choke in a class, I freaked out but after training it, I was able to react and counter it. If all you train is soft, fun scenarios, you'll freak out in a real one.
How to handle those trained guy who is intending to hurt those untrained ones is very significant.
