The Grind to Mastery...

Every martial arts movie has the protagonist learn some special “go to” moves that the hero will need to use in the climatic end fight scene to win the day. Additionally, they will learn this move in a very short space of time. Be it a crane kick, a combo punch, a secret hidden power (SHO ‘Nuff - IYKYK) the movie script is all the same. Learn the technique and you are the Master!

In reality, however, it is never this straightforward. Mastery is a grind. It is a long, boring grind of repetition to the point of quitting. But you don’t quit. In the boredom of grinding out a technique to the mastery level you are actually building neural pathways to do that technique better, stronger and faster with each repetition. Plus you are honing your concentration thru the boredom to stay present in the technique. Finally, your emotional stamina to bring the energy of an attack/defense that is required will be increased as well. This is the way. This is mastery. It does not happen overnight.

The recipe is simple:

1. learn the technique

2. practice the technique

3. repeat 10k time (no joke)

4. be fully present

5. have 100% concentration

The BIG 4...

In our self-defense workshops we create a simple structure of purpose. The #1 purpose over everything is to get home safe to your loved ones. This may be way of running away, avoiding a confrontation, talking your way out of something, or actual physical fighting. When we act we need to know the BIG 4!

The BIG 4 targets for self-defense are: the eyes, the neck/throat, the groin, and the ankles. Let’s explore the importance of each of these targets.

(1) EYES: Damage the eyes and you damage your attacker’s vision. He can no longer attack what he cannot properly see or focus on. Once the vision is impaired, get out of there.

(2) NECK/THROAT: The neck involves the rear and the sides of the throat while the throat focuses on the front (adam’s apple/larynax). Damage to the throat involves airway destruction thus causing breathing difficulty. If your attacker is too worried about breathing, he is not going to focus on you. Get out of there. The sides and rear of the neck involve whiplash and/or nerve damage resulting in mental confusion and possible unconsciousness. Again, get out of there.

(3) GROIN: Attacks to the groin, although easy to understand, are not so simple in reality. Yes there is intense pain but it is only for a moment. After which, the attacker is going to be really pissed off. The goal here is to cause damage to the testicles, resulting in a bent over position that now gives me access to the eyes, neck/throat. See above and then get out of there.

(4) ANKLES: Structural damage to the ankles is fairly easy to pull off. We want to cause at least a sprain, if not a full-on break of the ankle. No ankle, no standing, no running. Get out of there.

TIP: To cause actual damage to the BIG 4 requires not just reading about it but actual, on-going, physical practice in a multitude of ways and under a variety of conditions. If you are interested in this. Give us a call or click the button below.

"The BEST" Fighting Art

Everyone always asks me, “David, what is the best fighting art?” Or similarly, “What is the most effective martial art?” Although these are legit questions, the answer is not so straight forward.

First off, let’s define “fighting/martial art.” A fighting/martial art is simply a codified system of combat practices for a variety of reasons: ranging from exercise and mental/spiritual development to street fighting and self-defense to law enforcement and all out warfare. It has a broad scoping range. And this is fundamentally what we need to understand to answer the question above.

You see, there is no, ONE, best art. The best art for you may not be the best art for me. We have to consider why we are practicing in the first place Then we have find out what art best suits our body type and peaks our interests. For me, early on, I knew I wanted something that was self-defense/reality based. But that is me. You may want focus and calmness - that would lead to a different practice. Both are good. Both are correct. But they are very different. In either case, nothing will happen if you don't go out and try something. Ya gotta get started to find what you like. Remember, the journey is the fun part.

TIP: When considering an art and you find a school, always ask to observe a class or see if you can take a free intro class. Also, ask the students in the class why they like it. Are they having fun? Are they learning what you want?
