Learn The 7 Deadly Assumptions Made About The Martial Arts.

 

Over the past decades there have been a lot of changes in the martial arts and self defense world, but none as unfortunate and tragic as we have today. There has always been confusion between what martial arts, martial sport and self defense are, but it's never been as shocking as it is right now (and it's only getting worse).

Because of the increasing popularity of martial arts on TV, in movies and the UFC, more and more people are becoming interested in the martial arts, but at the same time, more and more people becoming confused about the subject of real self defense. Every form of traditional martial art and martial sport have their place. They both build character and get you in great shape, but can they save your life in an attempted rape or homicide?

Martial Arts Are Good For You, But Are They Good For Self Defense?

The benefits of studying the martial arts are legendary. Traditional martial arts like Karate, Aikido and Kung fu and martial sports like Mixed Martial Arts, Judo, Wrestling, Tae Kwon Do, Thai Boxing, Boxing and Brazilian Jujitsu will all give you life long benefits and are worthy endeavors, but will they give you the tools you need to survive an all out, knock down, drag-out street fight?

You'll find that traditional martial arts and martial sports are great for developing character and getting you in shape, but when it comes to real world self defense, they fall short under the stress of real combat. Below is the list of "deadly" assumptions even the most intelligent people make about the martial arts.

The 7 Deadly Assumptions Made About The Martial Arts

1. Martial Arts and Martial Sports Will Work In Real World Conditions
   Mixed Martial Arts, Judo, Brazilian Jujutsu, Wrestling and Boxing are designed for safety. You're restricted from using lethal techniques and attacking specific target areas that would seriously injure your opponent. The referee is there to make sure everything goes smoothly and to protect you against further harm. The mat provides a soft, forgiving surface and a scheduled time and date are set. If you are injured, you can cancel the fight, if you are tired, you can quit, if something hurts, you can tap. This is all for good reason, no one wants to see athletes getting seriously injured. But in the real world there's no one to throw in the towel, no referee to stop the fight and it can happen at any time. There's only you and a determined, capable criminal
   
   
2. Sport Martial Arts Teach Lethal Fighting Methods
   Lethal techniques are illegal; you'll NEVER have any use for them in the ring. Why spend time on training something that will only get you disqualified? Training is about developing the proper habits. What you do in practice you will do in competition. If you practice illegal moves you probably will have a short lived career. Chances are your trainer doesn't even know the real dangerous techniques. If he's lived a life of training and coaching a sport martial art, then that's all he knows.
   
   
3. The good habits you work so hard to develop for competition are the bad habits that will get you killed.
   In a real fight, you will follow your training and subconsciously avoid the most essential target areas and opportunities that will end a street fight in your favor. And when you're tangled up with someone who doesn't care about rules, regulations and time limits, you've got a serious problem. There's only one way to train and one method that will teach you how to take advantage of those opportunities.
   
   
4. Traditional Martial Arts Teach Modern Self Defense
   Training in traditional martial arts is great. You can develop confidence, inner strength, get into awesome shape and become part of a community. But the cultural art you're studying is teaching you self defense that's based on a completely misinterpreted set of circumstances.
   
   Most self defense techniques taught today today in the vast majority of martial arts studios are taken from early Japanese jujutsu systems. These systems were designed to be used against a Japanese samurai warrior who was in full battle dress which weighed about 75 pounds. He moved slower and striking him was out of the question. Your best bet would be to grapple him, get him to the ground and use what ever close quarters weapon you had to finish him off. Some of the wrist locks and methods of defense taught in traditional dojos may have worked under these circumstances. But against a determined, fast moving assailant hell bent on getting what he wants you're going to wind up in sorry shape.
   
   The only place traditional self defense techniques work is in the nice forgiving confines of the dojo. In In typical martial arts training, you can practice your choreographed drill until every player knows his part. Under these friendly conditions these methods seem to work. Your training partners attack at the correct angle and distance, they react like they're supposed to and the result is what's expected.
   
   What happens when you try those same techniques on a beginner? It doesn't work. This is where the white belt is blamed for his lack of experience. The truth is that white belt is probably giving you a real reaction! The method of self defense you want can't depend on what you're assailant does, because you NEVER know what he's going to do.

Real combat can be boiled down to a few simple common denominator set of factors that can be applied to any situation.

5. If it works in the dojo, it works in a real fight
   There's an old training axiom, if it looks good in the dojo, it won't work in the street. Martial artists like to keep things neat and tidy, but that only works in the movies. In the real world, fights are messy and chaotic. They happen at the worst possible time under the worst possible conditions. It's a struggle, it's ugly and your ability to adapt to anything will increase your chances of going home exponentially. The only way to prepare for a real fight is to prepare for the chaos. You can't predict what your attacker will do, but you can control what you're going to do.
   
   
6. There Is A Specific Defense Counter For Each And Every Attack
   This is one of the biggest pitfalls of all the martial arts: The notion of proscribing a specific defense or a counter technique, for each individual situation seems plausible on the surface; but when you start combining different attacks to different situations the number of counter defenses would lead into the thousands. And when you add the environment to the equation, that number goes into the millions! As I mentioned before, there are a few simple strategies and techniques that can be applied to EVERY situation.
   
   
7. You Will Be Able To Remain Calm And Think When You Are Attacked
   Most people believe that because they train, they will be able to react intelligently and precisely when assaulted. No matter how intensely you train and compete in martial arts contests, no matter how real you make your martial arts training, the fact of the matter is you know that your training partner is not trying to kill you! There is a big difference between increased heart rate from physical exertion and hormone induced increased heart rate from fear, which leads us to the biggest problem with all martial arts today...
   
   
   ... is you!!

   (And there's nothing you can do about it.)
   
   
   When you're under hormone induced stress (Fear), your body prepares you to fight. As your body gets ready for battle, you experience the effects of a massive adrenaline dump and millions of years of evolution take over.

When you are fighting for your life you will experience:

• Loss of fine motor skills (even making as fist is difficult)
• Loss of cognitive thought (speech becomes impossible)
• Tunnel vision (you lose your peripheral vision)
• Loss of depth perception (you can't judge distance)
• Auditory Exclusion (you can't hear everything)

Trying to perform complicated martial arts or subtle martial sport techniques in real self defense situations becomes impossible.

At its core, Self defense is not a martial art or even a martial sport. Self Defense is a methodical system that is applied to a specific set of common denominator circumstances found in every possible scenario. It is no more complicated than it has to be.

An Effective System of Self Defense Requires:

• The technique that takes full advantage of your gross motor skills (No more intricate and complicated martial arts movements)
• The methods you can apply to any self defense situation (There is no need to memorize the infinite number of specific defenses inherent in all martial arts systems)
• The ability to defend yourself without the use of protective gear, rules, referees or a soft mat (the martial arts studio, the dojo, dojang or gymnasium are nice, but the real world has concrete, rocks, broken bottles and debris - there is no one to help you and no one to throw in the towel)
• The training to recall your techniques easily and quickly anytime, anywhere. (watching a martial arts video is nice, but you need to practice in order to make your knowledge effective - how you train is even more important than what you train!)
• The confidence to protect yourself, even if you are sick, injured or even older (chances are you will be attacked when you appear to be an easy target. Your method of self defense can't require a lot of strength or athletic ability. What you would do when you're 20 isn't necessarily what you would do when you're 50 or even 40!)
• The skill to defend yourself in any and every environment (snow, sand, parking lot or your kitchen)
• The focus to execute high percentage, high impact and sometimes lethal techniques (imagine taking only a handful of the best self defense techniques of all of the martial arts and applying them with the proper attitude to ANY situation)
• The pride in knowing that you will be ready to protect yourself and your loved ones and go home safely - no matter how big, or how bad your assailant is.

What if I told you there's a complete system of self defense that will give you all the training and all the knowledge you need. You don't have to get on a plane, go to Tibet and hire a Sherpa and find the last great martial arts "master" to do it.
