Unarmed Self Defense - 3 Quick Tips

3 Quick Tips to Unarmed Self Defense

-Total Commitment

-Alignment

Real unarmed self defense means that your life is on the line and you have to attack to survive. There is no back and forth sparing or set kata attacks. You just need to find something to attack to end the threat.

Competition punching and kicking don't work in reality. If you look at any real street fight there isn't 3-12 rounds of back and forth testing your opponent. No there's one person attacking another person.

Putting Trauma Into Another Person Is Everything Here

Here's some quick tips to help you get started. This is not the end all be all of attacks. Just some basic principles to help with your future training. Just take them to enhance your skills, especially with unarmed self defense.

Tip 1: Total Commitment

This means that if you're going to attack. Attack with all you've got. Holding back here, could mean death for you. Put all your body weight behind every strike and follow-through.

Some students ask me about the legality of this type of attacks. Remember your life and those you love are on the line. You need to do this to survive and nothing else. Remember this your unarmed self defense. No weapons.

The time for worrying is gone. It's time to attack to end them. Reality is that you probably will be hit, stabbed, or shot, but none of it helps you. As long as you end the threat first, none of it matters.

Without total commitment you put your life in danger.

Tip 2: Alignment

This means that your body is the correct formation to destroy the threat. Everything is set with each hit, no bouncing off. All that energy is put into stopping that person.

If you look at fighters today, they don't come in as much as they should. I understand that it's to keep a safe distance and this is great in the ring or cage.

Sometimes you see fighters hit and the other guy goes sailing a way. The fighter is in shock and has to run after it.

Don't be that guy! That guy gets mugged by other guys.

Proper alignment with commitment lets you always stay on the action until you choose it's over. Do not give an attacker a second to recover or put a weapon.

So how are you going to know where they're going to be?

Tip 3: Response

The human body moves in predictable ways once trauma is delivered. You know where they are because you put them there. This requires a willing training partner.

Competition is against this type of training. A good partner will help you learn how the body moves due to trauma and not fight with you.

If you don't know how to respond to trauma. Get an unarmed self defense instructor to help you. It will be worth the look. Even some self defense dvds help in this area.
