No Nonsense Self Defense - The Best Self Defense Techniques Focus on Surviving, Not "Winning"

Are you serious about developing real-world, no nonsense self defense techniques? Of course you are. You wouldn't be reading this article if you weren't!

But, did you know that the "way" you think about self defense, and where you put your focus, could make the difference between really being a master of the art of self defense...

...and being totally "wrong" if you're ever attacked?

It's true.

I want you to think about something.

And this is important.

So important in fact, that your life and safety depend on you really getting your head wrapped around this critical, life-saving lesson! And that lesson is that...

Fights are won or lost. Attacks are evaded, escaped, or survived.

Do you understand that?

Fights... where both combatants are willing participants in the match, and both are trying to win the same "prize," is very different from a situation where you are the victim of a savage attack and must do everything and anything in your power to not be beaten, broken, or killed!

These are two VERY different situations. And therefore, require two very different approaches to training and preparation for the "event."

If you're serious about learning no nonsense self defense techniques that are designed for real-world, street self defense, then you must understand this critical difference!

Because, and this is my point...

...you will only be prepared for what you train for.

So, if you're training to fight in a competition - a rule-laden match - where there are specific things that you can and cannot do...

...and your goal is to be able to survive a street self defense attack...

...then you may find that you are completely unprepared for what you are most definitely going to face at the hands of an attacker who made damned sure that:

He didn't follow any rules

The fight wasn't "fair"

He had the advantage

He was probably going to get away with it!

Never forget that self defense is about surviving a street attack, and should focus on simple, no frills, no nonsense self defense moves - not belts, trophies, or fame and fortune.

At the end of the day, when you've successfully handled an attack, you will realize that your trophy - the only trophy that counts is going home safely, and remaining in the lives of those who love you, and who look to you for safety and protection!

Effective self defense requires more than just a few "karate moves." It involves the ability to think strategically, and understand how to defend yourself with as little wear-and-tear on you as possible.

If you really want to know what most people don't know about how to master self defense and how to survive a real street attack, read my newest self defense book, "Fight Smarter - Not Harder!" It's available free at: http://www.warrior-concepts-online.com/street-fighting-self-defense-book.html

Self-Defense - The Role of Your Emotions in Effectively Surviving a Brutal Self-Defense Attack

Most self-defense and martial arts classes avoid the emotions altogether. Others limit their focus on a gross over-simplification of emotional states during a self-defense situation. But, aside from being frightened or angry, what role do your emotions play in dealing with a potentially deadly situation?

Did you ever consider that?

Aside from being responses to the moment-to-moment occurrences as we move through our days, what role do your emotions play. For most people, it's kind of like your blood type. Apart from knowing what it is so we don't end up with the wrong one if we need it, it and the emotions are just things that we "have" and have no control over.

In reality, the emotions are actually tied to our body's own natural, human, defense system. It's true. Your body is already hard-wired for self-defense by design.

The thing is that, our sophisticated brains, socialization, and cultural, academic, and familial education has virtually made us completely unaware that we have these abilities and functions.

So, what's the function of your emotions, and how can they be used for self-defense? Excellent question.

It's not the focus of this article to explain all of the inner workings of your human brain. Let's just start with some very simple responses to stimuli from the world around us.

You see, everything that we're exposed to, invokes a feeling, or response at a base, primitive level. This happens without us being conscious of it, and also happens below the level of what we normally call our emotions.

These base "feelings" or responses can be generally classified as feelings of:

Attraction - we like it


Aversion - we don't like it, or...


Apathy - it doesn't cause us to move either way

Don't confuse these simple feelings with higher, more complex emotional moods like:

Love
Hate, and...

Ignorance

The ones I'm talking about are much simpler and tied not to the higher brain functions, but actually come out of our lower "reptilian" brain - also known as the R-complex - the section of your brain that is primarily concerned with self-preservation activities like eating, procreating, and not-dying.

"Why," you may ask, "do I want to know all this scientific mumbo-jumbo? All I want to do is pick up some moves to protect myself?"

And I would answer, "you don't have to learn anything."

Not if you just want to learn your "moves" and then hope that you'll be able to use them in a real street self-defense situation.

Remember. When you're training in a martial arts or self-defense class, you're probably pumped up, happy, having a good time. Am I right?

Looking at the base feelings I described before, that would put you in "attraction" mode, where you like what you're doing and want more of it. The activity - the training - it feels good and, while perhaps difficult at times, probably not very threatening or dangerous at all.

Now, whether or not you've ever been in a real fight, or ever been attacked by an enraged individual out for blood, I'm sure you can imagine what that must be like. You can almost see his eyes and the intense look on his face. Add to that, the intensity and intention he's projecting and the smell of him - we can't forget that smell and feel of him as he invades your personal space.

Are you still in "attraction" mode? I bet not. And you're not even in the real situation. I'm just describing it and you're having an "aversion" response.

How do you think you're going to feel actually being in the heat of the moment?

You got it. Very different than in class or your own personal training sessions where there is no real danger.

If you understand the role and immense value that your emotions play in keeping you safe. And, if you learn about what role they play in spearheading your body's natural defense mechanisms, then you can also train to tap into their power and use them as tools for your own defense.

Having this knowledge will help you to tailor and adjust your actual training methods to accommodate, acknowledge, and utilize your emotions as the valuable aids they are.

Remember, any monkey can learn the moves, but a real expert - a true master - uses things that most individuals don't even know about, or don't know exist. So, do you have to study and use your emotions in your self-defense training? No.

But then, you don't "have" to breath either. But I'd highly recommend it!

Self Defense Training - 3 Self Defense Tips For Surviving a Sudden Attack

Are you looking for self defense training that will teach you how to defend against and survive a sudden attack? Well, you're not alone!

One of the most common fears that serious students have is the fear that they will forget everything they know and have learned if they are suddenly jumped in a real-world, street fighting attack. I can certainly relate to this because the real world inside a street fighting self defense situation is very, very different from the way that most people train in their martial arts or self defense training classes.

In fact, the likelihood of an attack coming on suddenly and without any warning is far greater than one that gives you time to prepare. Let's face it - criminal attackers are very good at what they do. Regardless of whether they're young punks who are out "having fun" with their friends, or the more serious types looking to beat, break, or kill you for your money, car, or in the case of women - your body - it's just not in the attacker's best interest to give you a lot of warning before they make their move.

Here are 3 self defense tips to add to your self defense training that will greatly increase your chances of escaping and surviving a sudden attack:

1. Train your body to "instinctively" and automatically go to a defensive position that will work to simultaneously control the distance, remove your vulnerable targets, and get your limbs between you and your attacker for shielding.


2. Practice stress-response drills that will reduce the natural time-lag that exists between stimulus and your brain recognizing the threat and need for action to deal with it. These self defense training drills act to condition the body to the adrenal response commonly known as "fight or flight."


3. Condition yourself to stress-inducing experiences in order to learn to relax and focus under pressure. You cannot do something under pressure that is not within your natural make-up. In other words...

You will act as you have trained! Just thinking about it, reading books, or watching videos is absolutely useless in a real self defense situation because you are trying to use one part of your brain to do something that comes from a very different part.

Never Forget The Most Important Self Defense Tip Of All:

If your self defense training does not account for and address what you will "feel," "experience," and "find" inside of a real situation, including defending yourself against sudden attacks, you may find that all of the time, effort, and money spent on training will have been for nothing!
