Learn to Defend Yourself

A small tip from an expert: "If you are looking for a class in order to learn self-defence and there they tell you the esoteric fairy-tale of an internal or soft style or the so-called passivity, or (my personal favourite), that you should ‘borrow the force of the attacker and use it against him’, you should leave as quickly as possible. This is just something for real fantasists and takes you away from what you were searching for.

In the martial arts turmoil of the '70s and '80s, these dreamy variations of a self-defence art were naively accepted. The idea that one could learn self defence without effort was gleefully adopted by many. During this period a couple of cunning newcomers created some useless rules, guiding principles, mottoes and other nonsense. Today we must return to the facts and be sure to recognise that skills are only developed through consistent hard training and that real self defence abilities rely on the diligent practice of functional and, above all, powerful movements.
