Self-defense Skills – Becoming a Thing of the Past

Most people cannot defend themselves in a physical confrontation.

 
 

Few people exercise or stay active (only about 23% CDC 2018) let alone practice the physical and mental skills that can protect themselves or loved ones.

 

Basic Attacks

 

Kids don’t play outside or together as much as they use to. Video games and smartphones are the substitute for physical activity and developing social skills. Both of which are needed to avoid physical confrontations. In reality, most kids (and adults) never learn how to defend themselves these days until after the actual need arises – which unfortunately could be too late.

We live in a very different world than when we did a a few decades back. If you believe television and movies, everyone knows kung fu, boxing or mixed martial arts (MMA). However, this is not reality.

Good skills to learn:

  • Basic defense skills against being grabbed, touched, punched, kicked, etc.
  • Anatomy relative to “pressure points” or key body parts to defend or attack if necessary.
  • Situational awareness relative to options before and after someone finds themselves in a potentially dangerous and life changing event.
  • Balance, coordination and strength exercises to develop self-esteem and confidence that one does not need to be a victim or rely upon others for their own personal safety.

We live in a very different world than when we were young adults, years ago. We see television and movies where everyone seems to know kung fu or have awesome skills, but in reality, most kids (and adults) never learn how to defend themselves these days until after the actual need arises – which unfortunately could be too late. Hiding under a table and waiting for help, isn’t always the best option when an attacker already has their hands around someone’s throat.

Increase Your Mobility & Stability

Many of you who have known me over the years, know me to be a bit passionate and meticulous about my studying, practicing and teaching of martial arts and various wellness methods. I can attribute my quest due to the following facets of diligent martial arts and mind/body/spirit training:

– Moving the body within the 3 anatomical planes (coronal, sagittal & transverse)
– Exercising the body’s 600+ muscles
– Strengthening the body’s 200+ bones
– Stretching of the 12 fascial lines
– Moving and strengthening the 33 vertebrae
– Getting the organs moving by engaging the core muscles
– Rehabilitation of injuries (knees, back, neck and shoulders)
– Boosting of the immune system
– Relieving stress and anxiety
– Learning to see one’s self as others see me through mindful exercises
engaging the mind, body and self-awareness
– and many more benefits.

Find a method of exercise that works for you and do it consistently. Let me know if you need help getting moving.

Be well and stay healthy.

Do you know how you will react, if facing danger?

If you have never driven a car, how do you know if you can actually get it moving and then navigate safely?
If you have never had to fix a flat tire, how do you do it when no one is around and you are stuck in the middle of nowhere?
So how does someone defend themselves or their loved ones, if they have never been in a dangerous situation?
Well, you can learn how to ahead of time so you can be prepared. Or wait and figure it out as you go.
Have you every heard “failing to prepare” vs. “prepare to fail”?

Use Knowledge, Not Fear – Basic Self-defense Skills

Anyone have college-age kids, who could benefit from some basic self-defense skills as well as situational awareness? Well I do, and my daughter has expressed some interest for herself and some of her college bound friends. I think everyone of all ages can gain from learning some new skills.

As it turns out, this is exactly the type of classes I use to teach daily when I had my own martial arts schools. I am planning to offer some of these classes in the near future in our community. If you or your kids are interested in learning what to do when things go badly, I can teach some very valuable life skills.
College (or adulthood) can be a time of anxiety and uncertainty for young adults, as well as parents seeing their kids come into their own. We live in a very different world than when we were young adults, years ago. We see television and movies where everyone seems to know kung fu or have awesome skills, but in reality, most kids (and adults) never learn how to defend themselves these days until after the actual need arises – which unfortunately could be too late. Hiding under a table and waiting for help, isn’t always the best option when an attacker already has their hands around someone’s throat.

– Situational awareness relative to options before and after someone finds themselves in a potentially dangerous and life changing event.
– Balance, coordination and strength exercises to develop self-esteem and confidence that one does not need to be a victim or rely upon others for their own personal safety.
Depending upon the interest and feedback I receive from this post, will determine days, times and frequency of the classes. I am thinking at least once a week for 4 weeks in order learn, develop and practice the basic skills. Any cost will be again be determined upon interest, but I’m thinking a donation that will be possibly forwarded to a worthy cause within our immediate community. I have a few in mind already.
As a parent and also a martial artist for almost 40 years, I feel well-equipped to offer some much-needed resources for those caring to learn more.
