REALISTIC SELF-DEFENSE
I have 37 years of martial arts training, over 20 years law
enforcement/security experience, numerous real street fighting
experiences both as a cop and as civilian, and a few really
good combat (real fight) teachers.
Reality Discovery: A real fight is totally unpredictable.
An attack is chaotic, dynamic and continuous.
The most important facet in a self-defense encounter is not
your martial art style or even planned technique proficiency but
firstly, maximizing your body’s natural fear/fright reaction and
secondly, being grounded on fundamental simplistic principles.
First things first:
Our body’s physiological response to fear is the heart pounds
faster, pumping blood to the brain, arms, legs, where oxygen is
needed. Lungs quicken breathing, blood pressure goes up,
adrenaline (nature’s physiological stimulant) is poured into the
blood system. Sugar is released into the blood to act as fuel
for action, either to run our fastest, or fight our hardest.
When attacked you will do one of three things:
• You will take flight or run
• You will fight
• Or you will freeze
Regardless of your rank or style you must absolutely overcome
the paralysis of fear or you will not survive.
Fear can be your biggest asset if you learn to control it.
Adrenaline and trained reflexes are the true keys to your
survival not pre-planned complex techniques.
Second but just as important:
Your training must be based on basic fundamental simplistic
principles and not on a myriad of complex pre-planned,
calculated, premeditated techniques and maneuvers.
Bruce Lee describes this concept so poetically but effectively:
“The highest technique is to have no technique. My technique is a
result of your technique; my movement is a result of your movement.
A good JKD man does not oppose force or give way completely. He
is pliable as a spring; he is the complement and not the opposition to
his opponent’s strength. He has no technique; he makes his opponent's
technique his technique. He has no design; he makes opportunity his
design.
One should not respond to circumstance with artificial and "wooden"
prearrangement. Your action should be like the immediacy of a
shadow adapting to its moving object. Your task is simply to complete
the other half of the oneness spontaneously.
In combat, spontaneity rules; rote performance of technique perishes.”
One of my current instructors, Grandmaster Daniel Verkerke,
founder of Seicho Jutsu, has ingeniously simplified numerous
fundamental principles, in his Emblem Theory, to four basic
principles. 1.) Emptiness, 2.) Circular Movement, 3.)
Directional Movement, 4.) Counter-balancing.
Progressive understanding of these four principles makes
spontaneity natural, instinctive, and effective. I have applied
this to my self-defense training with amazing results.
