VIOLENCE AGAINST VIOLENCE

I hate to say it but when it comes to self defense, you’re going to have to use violence to protect yourself from violence.

If you are being attacked you have no choice but to hurt the attacker, even if you only hurt them temporarily, you must cause enough pain an injury to make the attacker harmless to you and stop the aggression.

Some of the attack techniques definitely come from the martial arts and some techniques not so much.

The reason is that the martial arts follow a very specific set of rules but you need to always remember in self defense there are no rules. So basically anything you must do to protect yourself you should do.

A lot of people learn the martial arts for self defense, but I have to admit, I’m not one hundred percent on board with this being the main reason. While it is true that the techniques of martial arts are very well adapted for self defense, I would hope most would study and practice it for the love of the art, physical fitness, and self improvement. However, I suppose that if you choose to study and practice a martial art, and your reason for doing so is self defense, then I guess that’s okay, at least you are learning for a reason.

MY TRAINING I lived in Japan for two years where I was trained by a tenth degree black belt grandmaster in Shotokan Karate, an orthodox Japanese style created in Okinawa, earning a brown belt. After returning to the United States, I trained for three more years by an eighth degree black belt grandmaster from Korea in Tae Kwon Do and Hap Ki Do, earning a black belt.
