Expect the Unexpected Grass Hopper

Expect the Unexpected Grass Hopper The myth perpetuated by Self Defense Oriented Martial ArtsI just received the following e-mail. I felt that should be shared, because I think that many people think the same thing? Hello Damian, I ran across the site in search of what was there for the information and defense have found my and your always looking for ways by Mr. Cestari. I was trained in martial arts since 1984 and has mainly studied Tae Kwon Do, but also trained in Hapkido and Judo. I received my black belt in Tae Kwon Do at the age of 15 years and in that moment I thought was Superman or less able to defend myself against anyone. 2 years later, a part of my skills were tested by the hard of the city who wanted to see how I was. It is probably no shock that the powers have nothing to do with it. He approached me from behind, I threw to the ground and I was choking on a fairly safe if other people have been pulled out, that distinguishes us and we took our separate ways. I was not injured and is not a situation of life or death, but what worries me is that not only my 5 years of useless in this situation, have not yet entered my mind ... I froze. After leaving the martial arts for one or the other, while the thought that do not work or I was not strong enough mentally to perform in a realistic situation. Later, I started looking for other martial arts with a different perspective, especially when it comes to matters of defense and in any case, I found that students are being lied to and given a false sense of confidence that they will be able to defend themselves by using these tips and techniques for situations that are not likely to happen. As you said on your site I can go and take a pulse, regardless of who is the attacker, but in all my life I never had people come into my wrist with the intention of harming me .-- Mike , 2nd Dan Tae Kwon Do? Unfortunately, Mike? s story is all too common. Anyone who has spent time in most schools of martial arts and the instructor will demonstrate the technique and then listen to the questions, with 100% conviction, that it is against anyone, at any time. Most of the time? And not the instructor? S fault. E? His mistake was taught by his instructor.The following is a list of dangerous misunderstandings perpetuated by martial arts experts and Defense: 1. You should be able to make a technical point of view, against anyone, all time.2. You must be ready to fight in a blink of eye.3. You need to find a specific answer for each situationer. This response must be distributed without hesitation.4. The criminal or gangster street is ignorant and little, and has no chance against someone who is trained.5. You must be calm.6. The fight against the sport this contest is a street fighter is like.7. The technique should be smooth and pretty.Anyone shows that these ideas should be considered in their head. First, these are impossible goals that have been perpetuated by the mystical martial arts. All martial arts such as the idea of being able to do so, and most importantly, the idea that you think that one day we can be like that. But as Mike May you receive a rude awakening. I'm sure there are? Stories? persons acting in this way. But will pass the site of Gichin Funakoshi Karate-Do Book. When it had to defend his life against an attacker, what to do? Reverse punch? High block? No, he grabbed the guy with the balls and squeezed until the man came out. This makes it less of a great man and martial artist? On the contrary, I think that reflects his idea of the reality of street fighting as the end fast and by any means necessary.Don t configure the machine for a fall. Understanding the reality that the kind of education is a never had a street fight in his adult life, or leaed from someone who has never had any experience of the real world. Even then, I know guys who have seen a street fight, but have no clue or idea of what they have done their survived. The problem is when you begin to imagine what could happen. Listen, you better understand the general reaction. If you poke your eyes that close. You have no idea what this man is thinking or feeling, or care.Below there is a list of answers to the myths perpetrated by my fellow martial artists.1. Not everything works for everyone. That? S for which we are studying a variety of techniques and strategies. You want to find something that suits you. You will of course what? Sent? well. This does not mean trying something a little 'time and to reject it. This means that, when presented with 5 technical, some are easier than others. In addition, you will not be able to do the same thing for the person of 250 pounds, you can do with 110 pounds person.2. It is not possible, be equal to 100% state of readiness. T You may be able to function. Imagine going to every second of the day. Stress alone you.3 kill. We talked about the situation on defense is legitimate? S ridiculous and it does not work. However, it requires training positions. This is a necessity, but detail is lost in a severe loss of time.4. Save the criminals? The food on the table? taking advantage of people like you. Psychos that are predators to easily select the marks. Both need to be successful. Do not underestimate their animal instinct. Also, do not confuse intelligence and cunning.5. Will be emotionally juice. If you're not, you're crazy, either real or actual stupid.6. The point of competition is the sport or to win. The point of the road, the fight is not lost or survive.Also when you enter a contest, we know when, where, how and who from time to time. And as gross as it is, you know, the guy does not try to kill (I know that sometimes seems), but your life is not endangered. There are time limits, safety equipment and referees. That? And the reason why the Japanese are the two words Bujutsu and Budo. Bujutsu is the technique or method literally. Budo is the path to the actual method or symbolic. I will stop here, I could write another article on alone.Does which means that people who are competitors of push-over? No. I am one of them. This means that you should plan what will happen and what should be.7 expectations. Personally, I? Ve never seen a real fight against the look? Good? Even if the boys knew what they were doing. A street fight is brutal and ugly.So because the study of martial arts? Training in martial arts is extremely important and useful. The elements of what is done can be applied to a real fight. If you just need to find a handful of techniques that are suitable. According to the techniques or the method of time study.The that the benefits of studying martial arts: 1. Self-improvement. To improve your car, start from the outside. You can see this illustrated in many martial arts. Kano (founder of Judo) said that the goal of judo is to better people. For example, if you stop smoking or what? T drink much earlier on foot, in this a sign of self-improvement and an advantage of training.2. Fitness.3 physics. Self confidence4. Self Awareness.5. Understand the pain and sacrifice.Anyone who undergo a real martial arts training includes what these points. The more you put in, get out more. E? S simple.The below the line to put everything into perspective and use common sense. E? Funny to see well educated people to follow some idiot, because it feeds on about their lack of confidence. E? S also sad to see that most of the martial arts are a con-game.Lastly, don t believe someone who has all the answers, and nothing is guaranteed. E? It is a battle, his life.Regards, Damian   Ross is the owner of Zenshin and instructor Tekkenryu Jujutsu and Kodokan Judo.
