Homes Juegos Carreras Real Estate Investing | Martial Arts – Real-World Self-Defense – A Two-Fold Approach For Successful Self-Defense

homes Most people, including martial arts and self-defense teachers really don’t know where to begin when it comes to mastering the ability to protect yourself against a real-world violent attacker. This article takes a look at the two-fold approach that I recommend to anyone who’s serious about surviving a real-world attack.

To explore the conventional world of martial arts and self-defense instruction, the conventional approach seems to be to just learn a bunch of tricks and techniques, earn some rank or maybe a certification of some sort, and you’re all set. Right?

juegos carreras If that’s true, then why are so many trained individuals getting their butts kicked in the real world? Why, if everything works in the dojo (“martial arts school”) or self-defense class, are these “unbeatable techniques” failing miserably on the street, when dealing with real-world attacks thrown by brutal, real-world assailants?

There are lots of reasons but I think the primary one is that, for the most part, these classes are a simple case of the blind leading the blind. What that means is that students, who have no experience with dealing with violence, are trying to learn something from instructors who, themselves, have no real world experience at dealing with and surviving real world attack encounters.

It’s a lecture on the sword that includes Chinese proverbs on the sword. This portion was very interesting if you are interested in all things martial as I am. Dr. Yang then teaches 27 fundamental techniques with the sword. The instruction is very clear, and Dr. Yang brings out students to assist him in showing applications of the techniques. So many DVDs would just show the movement once or twice and move on to the next. Dr. Yang provides so much more, and it is really refreshing to see an instructor who goes above and beyond while teaching.

The next portion of the program entails the solo practice drills. There is a lot to learn and practice here. The Chinese movements are different from the Japanese and Korean I’m used to, and I enjoyed learning some different ways to use the long blade, even if some of the movements seemed awkward due to being foreign to me. At times Dr. Yang has students perform the solo drills, so you get to see different variations of solo practice.

The final section before the conclusion is the matching practice with a partner. There were ten different matching drills and again, Dr. Yang gives so much while teaching. Going slow, watching the DVD, and working with a partner, and you can definitely learn a lot from this program. Again, Dr. Yang’s students demonstrate live practice with the drills Dr. Yang teaches. Watching them illustrates how you can practice.

I really enjoy Dr. Yang’s instruction and explanations. He has such a tremendous amount of knowledge and I feel we are fortunate to have access to that knowledge through the books and DVDs he has authored and produced. Even with such knowledge and the traditional background, he still interjects humor and modern American culture, such as near the end when he says it takes a long time to become a Jedi.

Reminds me of the airplane ride I took to the tiny island of Grenada when I was in the Army all those years ago. While I sat there, staring at the far side of the plane and thinking about what I would do when I hit the ground in a real combat zone (assuming we didn’t get shot down first), I heard other guys farther back in the aircraft actually crying. Ironically, these were the same guys who, during practice field exercises where we “played” war, ran around like John Wayne and Steven Seagal, acting tough and reminding everyone that they were ready to “kill a commie for mommie” right now. Well, here they were – here was their chance – and they were the least prepared to deal with the shocking reality of the situation.

Your training must make sure that you can deal with both the assailant’s physical attacks, whatever they may be, and you must be able to focus and commit yourself to winning by dealing with the rage and raw brutality is a natural part of combat. Two sides to the same coin. Both necessary for success.

So, review what you’ve learned so far, and make sure that your do so through the eyes of a critic, not a blind believer. Watch the news. Ask some police officers, bouncers, or even combat veterans what it’s really like inside a real situation with someone who wants to beat, break, or kill you. Then, all bias aside, fill in the gaps to make sure that you’ll come out on top, and not end up flat on your back! You can be published without charge.
