If you had to? Could you? Would you be ready?

Your pulse is racing the threat is there and very real. You never thought this would really happen to you but here you are. You attacker is making his move and you can feel it to your core if you don't do something to end this now either you or your loved one will pay the ultimate price. As your attacker moves either he presents the opening, or with you past training you create the opening and in that split moment you have the chance to end the threat...but will you?

The major disadvantage that most people have in defending themselves and their family is the mental focus difference of the attacker and the defender. The attacker has already made a previous decision that they are willing and ready to use aggressive force but most defenders have not. Their life or the life of a loved one is on the line and the defender for the first time is having to make the decision if they will do whatever it takes to protect. This mental block or moment of decision making can mean life or death. Even if you have the opening, even if you have had tremendous training, or even carry a lethal weapon, it won't matter if you haven't already made the decision to do whatever it takes to act to end the threat. 

Ask yourself now if your life or the life a loved one was in danger what would you be willing to do to protect yourself or them? Would you be willing to fight a little, cause near death, or perhaps do whatever it takes including taking another life to save those innocent? If you did have to react and the only way to stop that threat was a lethal blow could you and would you do it? Could you live with yourself after if you did or if you did not?

These are all questions you have to firmly make now when you’re safe and out of dangers way because at any moment that may change. If it does the worst, time to contemplate if you are ready to act is when the moment is only a split second and the wrong decision means you life or the life of loved one. A defensive mind is resolved in the willingness to appropriately meet the threat with the right amount of response and not have to think about if you should do what it takes or not. If it is a mild threat, you are willing to meet it with a mild response. If it is a potentially lethal threat, you are willing to be the first to meet that threat with lethal force before it has the chance to do it first. Your Ultimate Defense Training starts with a resolved defensive mind that is willing and able to meet whatever level of threat you face with the equal level of defensive force. Are you willing and are you ready?
