Defend Yourself! This is the Worst Time to Think About Self Defense Training!

You know that learning self defense is important, right? That's probably why you're reading this. But, knowing something - thinking about something - is NOT the same thing as doing something about it.

And self defense is no different. In fact, if you really want to be able to defend yourself, you can't afford to fall into a trap. This article focuses on not only this "trap," but also on the point-of-no-return in a self defense situation!

First, let's focus on this "trap" that I keep mentioning.

Do you know what it is?

To help you discover it for yourself, let me ask you a few questions. Okay?

1) What did you do today to increase your physical strength, so that you have a better chance of fighting off a bigger, stronger attacker?

2) What did you do today to increase your ability to remain focused on a single thing? Take your eyes off of your assailant in a street attack, and it could be the last thing you ever do!

3) What do you do on a regular basis to give yourself an "early warning" of the possibility of danger? What systems do you have in place that allow you to very quickly assess and watch for potential trouble at intersections while driving, in restaurants, at work, etc?

And finally...

4) What skills did you PHYSICALLY practice today?

Do you see where this is going?

The trap that many people who are "interested in" or who "study self defense," fall into is this...

...they spend most of whatever time they dedicate to this pursuit to merely reading about, thinking about, or watching videos about self defense.

They're not actually training. They're not actually "doing."

And this all leads to what matters most. This leads to what you will do when you hit the point-of-no-return in a self defense attack situation.

Do you know what the point-of-no-return is? It's that point where you can't get a do-over.

It's that point where your life and well-being is on the line and there's no turning back.

He's right there - in front of you - ready to, or already starting to do damage!

And, what you do at that moment - what you're ABLE to do at that moment - is all that matters.

And, at this very moment, the last thing you want to be thinking about is self defense TRAINING.

At this moment, you must be actively engaged in self protection - in defending yourself!

Effective self defense requires more than just a few "karate moves." It involves the ability to think strategically, and understand how to defend yourself with as little wear-and-tear on you as possible.

Self defense?

Can someone come up with a good web-site or a good book that teaches really good self defense methods.

I am not really looking for martial arts, but am looking for the best self defense from street gangs, spounse abuse, child abuse and so on.

For example, what do I if I get mugged?

I've read magazine articles from mags that are much better though. I recommend always being aware of your surroundings and employing the pre-emptive strike when-ever possible. Know where to hit - eg if you are on the ground, grab the skin of the attackers inner thigh, pull hard and twist and get ready to jump up and run... or slap both of their ears really hard at the same time (instant headache, did it to myself LOL) there's alot of moves to learn but basically learn how to move your body and be confident.
Practice throwing your elbows hard at a target and practice bringing your knees up as hard and fast as you can so when you need to, its second nature without putting much thought into it. Also learn to use ANYTHING as a weapon and practice different ways of using everyday objects.

With gangs there will always be a "leader" and a "tough guy". Be as aggressive as possible and immobilise the tough guy first, then the leader, then the rest of the gang will dissipate and run. Always fight at the flank.

If someone attacks you in your home, firstly throw whatever you can at them real hard, then grab a weapon (ie umbrella, knife, scissors, screwdriver) and run onto your front lawn to get attention from neighbours. If you have to attack pre-emptively or defend yorself from the person, be vicious. Scissors/screwdrivers can be jammed between the ribs or in the ears etc... think nasty and then do it!
