Martial Arts Instructor Discloses Secrets of Successful Self Defense Lessons

Not all self defense lessons are the same. As economies decline worldwide, street crimes including robbery, theft, rape and kidnappings are escalating rapidly in developed as well as third-world countries. Because of the growing number of street crimes, more and more people are asking about self defense lessons. However, most self-defense classes presented contain almost no useful content. There are many individuals out there claiming to be "experts", showing various forms of martial arts and self defense lessons. The fact is, most of them haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about. They clearly have NO experience in dealing with real attacks and the methods they’re teaching simply WILL NOT work in the real world.  In fact, it would probably get you killed if you were to ever try such nonsense.  So, how do you know that any particular course is teaching realistic self defense?  Ask! The best way to be sure you will be getting useful self defense lessons is to ask a lot of questions. Ask questions about the program's background. Ask if a small person will truly be able to make the techniques work against a much larger attacker. And, inquire if the system covers all types of scenarios such as being ambushed from behind, attacks while on the ground, weapon attacks and multiple attackers. If you ask enough questions, you will eventually know it is a good program, or they're just leading you on.The ultimate question you should ask is, how much time is spent on the issue of crime prevention; you know, things like, keep your car doors locked and don’t go to unfamiliar locations unaccompanied. Contrary to conventional understanding, self defense lessons should very little time discussing crime prevention. All that is common knowledge and you’ve probably already heard it before anyway.  Fact is, there are plenty of resources available for that type of information, if you need it. You should contact your local police department and I'm sure they can provide you with an excellent brochure on the subject.  You see, crime prevention and self defense are NOT the same issue. The fact is that no matter how much you try to avoid trouble, trouble can still find you.  Practical self defense lessons must be founded on the assumption that you’ve already tried everything you know how to do to avert an unwanted encounter. It's a major clue that they don't really know self defense, when they attempt to fill the program with unrelated material. Unfortunately, most folks don't realize the fraud.You must learn how to deal with confrontations quickly, intelligently and with complete assurance in your power to protect yourself.  Useful self defense lessons will teach you highly successful skills that have been proven to work in many different scenarios. It doesn’t matter if it is another person’s unwanted touch, or a brutal attack from someone who really wants to do serious harm.  The skills must be straightforward, easy to learn and easy to remember.  With a little bit of practice, these skills can become automatic reactions to an attack.  That way you can get yourself safely out of harm's way in just a matter of seconds.
