I just instructed a self defense seminar in NYC and it was interesting to note certain folk's response to being systematically shown how to use the tool of violence for survival.
The instructors did a matter-of-fact job picking various vulnerable areas of the human body and showing how to injure those targets. We use a proprietary method that allows the student to learn how to injure the body in a specific manner to yield the desired result.
We then show them how to use that information to cause serial injury on the human body until the other guy is non-functional. This method literally produces results in mere days that used to take us many months to achieve.
Clients rapidly get good at targeting Sean Taylor Hat , then injuring, the defined areas of weakness in another human.Don't get me wrong. It is not necessarily a thing of beauty to watch. Participants are often ugly in their 'look' but their effectiveness is without question.
What is funny to me is clients that have survived real violence get this approach to self protection training right away. They realize the methods and principles are sound and they focus and develop intent during those initial early day one sessions.
The clients that either have no experience with violence or only have competative martial arts or combat sport backgrounds often spend these early sessions questioning why we are doing what we do.They wrestle with the idea of violence being so one-sided. It goes against everything they 'know' about 'real fights'.
Of course this knowledge they bring to the course is from watching the media (films Preston Smith Hat , TV, Internet) or from participating in and watching combat sporting events. The main goal of media is entertainment. Producers want you to be involved in the plot and if there is an action sequence they want it to rivet you to your seat.
The main goal of combat sports is to win by bettering your opponent and scoring more points. Both can be very fun to watch.
Both of these mediums have restrictions that severely limit realistic use of the tool of violence. A good movie has the restriction of keeping you entertained so it needs to be just that... entertaining.
The competitors in a combat sports event are hampered by agreed upon rules. Therefore they rely on developed athletic skills (being bigger Brandon Scherff Hat , faster, stronger) in order to better the other guy and win the competition.
