Street Self Defense – The Reality
Martial arts are a fun and healthy activity, I’ve been doing martial arts of one type or another for 15 years but one thing I have found about most training is that it is lacking in realism or “real world” applicability.
Traditional martial arts like karate, jiu jitsu and aikido tend to focus heavily on perfection of technique, spiritual aspects and perhaps a bit of sparring or competition but the reality of these systems is that they are seldom pressure tested against fully committed and aggressive training partners, or in awkward or unexpected environments.
In this blog we will try to put forward some practical and applied self defense techniques. Show you something about the mindset you need to have for real world self defense and finally show you how to avoid conflict wherever possible by de-escalation and environmental awareness.
Hopefully this will leave you better prepared for any future altercation you might find yourself involved in and more confident that you can get yourself out of tough real world self defence situations.
