Street Self Defense 101.

Last updated: 7/2008

een searching for a simple, yet effective
method of self-defense that really works?

Have you figured out yet that most martial arts schools,
videos and seminars teach a lot of stuff that doesn't
really work on the street?

Are you ready, right now, to learn how you can defend
yourself in virtually any situation, quickly and easily?

Dear Friend,
After over 35 years of studying and teaching martial arts I can tell you beyond any doubt that most of what is being taught today in martial arts schools, seminars and videos... just won't work in a real street attack!
It's true. And it's a darn shame. So many unsuspecting, poorly trained and totally clueless folks are walking around with a false security. They believe the moves and techniques they were taught in their local martial arts school or a seminar they attended, will really work in an honest to goodness, no holds barred, street attack.
So, what's wrong with most traditional training?

For the first 20 years or so of my own personal training, I taught much the same way everyone else did. Sure it worked fine in the studio, but I often wondered how it would work on the street. I had heard and read about experienced black belts being utterly trounced by ordinary street thugs. What about what I was teaching? Would it really work if called upon, to protect my students and their loved ones?
About that time a friend of mine invited me to train with his master instructor. He claimed that his instructor taught an awesome and realistic system of street self-defense. I was curios to see what this guy was all about, so I accepted. It didn?t take long to realize that he was right.
After the very first session he had proved to me, without a doubt, that what I had been teaching my students most likely wouldn't work under the duress of real attack. This is what I learned:
The natural effect of real aggression causes what is called an "adrenaline dump". This fear induced high volume shot of adrenaline is normal and natural and cannot be stopped, even by experienced black belts.
The effects of this "adrenaline dump" can be devastating, especially if you are not prepared for it.
The main problem is that many of the techniques that are taught in traditional training are too tricky or too complicated for the average person to properly execute. This is especially true under the duress of an all out street attack. Techniques that are highly complicated tend not to be executed properly, if at all, when the pressure is on and adrenaline levels are high.
Many of the systems use joint locks and pressure points that require years of training to properly execute. Sometimes even when they are applied properly to someone who has an unusual amount of joint flexibility or a high resistance to pain, they don?t work.
Many of the arts teach kicking techniques that are great for the studio or for sport ...
