Self Defense Training – 3 Critical Differences Between Martial Arts Training And A Real Attack!
Do you have martial arts experience? Have you taken a self defense training program or two, but know that there is a difference between what you’ve learned and a real fight?
I know completely. Because, before I got this area of my life figured out, I was in the exact same place.
When I was a police officer, I and my fellow officers would joke that, when it came to our self-defense training, we were “graduates of Thursday’s class at 3 o’timer!” And, police officer or not, we need to know that what we’re being paid from our self defense training will give us the necessary tools, and maybe more importantly – the confidence – for in fact succeeding in a real-life violent attack!
Here’s a self defense tip that I used to get what I needed: I looked at what I was culture and compared that with what I in fact experienced in a self defense situation against real attackers. Then, and here’s what you have to do as well…
I found teachers that could give me what I needed to survive!
But, how do you know if the self defense training you’re being paid is aptly?
Here are several differences between conventional martial arts training and most so-called self defense programs. If the self defense training that you’re being paid overly focuses on these elements… run!

1. Pre-staged training. Technique training is valuable, but if everything you’re responsibility involves step-by-step, memorized strings of moves with no allowance for variations or drills for creative response and choice-making under difficulty, then you are not rising the critical skills you’ll need to survive! If you aren’t culture to apply the skills your being paid in a chaotic, free-response, and stressful way, then what you’re responsibility is really not self defense training!
2. Coddling. While your self defense training should be relatively safe, your instructor should not be coddling you and telling you how fantastic you are. He should also not have to deal with whining, argumentative, or other nonsense about you’re not wanting to do certain skills for whatever reason. You either want to be able to defend yourself against a brutal mugger who doesn’t care about you, or you want to look excellent and show off!
3. Emotionally-sterile. One of the most valuable missing elements from most martial arts and self defense training courses is emotion. The reality is that, a self defense situation is a vastly-charged – vastly emotional experience. It is one of the most emotional situations you could ever find yourself in.
And yet, the majority of time in most training is spent on step-by-step training and theory – not culture how to operate under certain types of psycho-emotional stress – each type limiting your body in very specific ways!
If you really want to survive a real-life attack, then you must find a self defense training program that will give you the tools you will need! You must learn things you never wanted to know, do things most people don’t want to have to do, and experience things that will scare you, unnerve you, and make you feel uncomfortable!
But then, you know what your other choice is, aptly? And he’s coming up out there for you!
Is your self defense training giving you the security, skills, and confidence to survive? If you’re honest about being paid the techniques, tactics and strategies that work, then I want to help you.
Effective self defense requires more than just a few “karate moves.” It involves the ability to reckon strategically, and know how to defend yourself with as small wear-and-tear on you as possible.

@Brendanbdm30 — I like Rich as a person, and I like the material he teaches. The only business that would really make it better would be if it was a bit better organized; he tends to do things sort of informally. I am not overly fond of the cult of personality surrounding Senshido — some of Senshido’s more hardcore followers tend to be quite obnoxious. But that’s nothing I could hold against Rich himself. By comparison, for example, Sammy Franco’s fans are of poorer quality and Franco’s a dickhead.
Hi mate, so tell me your thoughts on Rich Dimtiri and senshido. Cheers
very fascinating and very right , well place .
well place dude! I choose with everything you said…………and I dont reckon Ive said that to ANYONE before LOL
It’s better than CBSD. “Consensus based self-defense.”
Loved your video Phil, some very excellent comments.

@PhilElmoreDotCom can you really be too simplified when it comes to self defense?

Nice video, but its a small misleading. You just describe Self Defense, you dont in fact teach it.
@SentinelConvergence: That might be a excellent topic for a future video. On the whole I’m not /very/ opposed to it — I just reckon it’s a bit too simplified.
Hi Phil. Brilliant video, I am really enjoying The Martialist. I notice one of the styles that you list as life dubious is Krav Maga. I’m not a practitioner of said stylishness, I find what I have read about it at least somewhat fascinating. I’d be interested in hearing your doubts with Krav Maga if you’d desire to turn your attentions toward it.
Nice video
Brilliant video, Phil. I despise to say it, but you were giving that “Drunken Wolverine” guy WAY too much airtime…
