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?

Taekwondo Will Get You Killed

My self-defense training began many years ago in college. To fulfill my physical fitness requirement I thought it would be cool to take Taekwondo (TKD). I learned all the needed Kata and canned defenses and by the end of the semester was promoted to a yellow belt. We did spar a few times with full gear following all the required TKD sparing rules. Having no other expirence with martial fighting I thought it was very cool and bought hook line and sinker into my Sensei's  stories about how TKD was the best self-defense system out there. Fast forward 12 years and having trained with some incredible fighters in multiple fighting and self-defense arts NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. Taekwondo will get you killed!


TKD is known for it flashing flying kicks and numerous schools on every corner. These schools kick out 1000's of "black belts" a year that if ever were in a fight with anyone who has ever fought before they would be killed. TKD has minimal if any defenses or training to handle real world threats like knives, clubs, and guns.  Anyone who has ever fought in the real world would stand out of the way of the flashy kicks and drop them in an instant when they were off center. Not one of those TKD "black belts" (unless they trained in other more effective fighting styles) would know what to do if some one attacked them with continuous attacks especially if those attacks were none sports targets such as groin, spine, back of the head, or throat. If you want to learn TKD for physical fitness or because you want to look cool flying through the air ok but please do expect to use any of that in a real world fight. If you have your little "Johnny" or "Suzy" locked into an expensive school contracts in hopes that they will be able to defend themselves. Please know that they will be grossly unprepared and worse most like like try something because they felt they were trained and most likely escalate the fight to a level that could be lethal because the aggressor will want to show up the "karate kid."

TKD training is good if you wanting martial arts tournament rules fight training but other than that if you tried to pull off half of what you would learn on a real threat you would most likely end up dead. Do TKD for fun, for sport, for discipline, but please don't use any of that for self-defense. Train for fun and then train something else for real life or just get really good at drawing and firing a gun. TKD is not self-defense it is a sport fighting technique if used in real life will get you killed!
