Some Truths about Self Defense

When it comes to self-defense there are no guaranteed answers.

There is no single martial art and training system that will fully prepare you for all violent encounters, some styles of self-defense styles will work much better in certain situations than others. 

A single punch can end a fight.

To prevent yourself from being knocked unconscious, it is vital to have a strong understanding of what causes knockouts in the first place. There are three primary reasons for this – a knockout can occur when the brain strikes against the inside of the skull because of impact forces applied externally, or a knockout can happen as a result of internal forces hitting against your vagus nerve, which originates in your brainstem but spreads out across your chest into your organs. This type of knockout is known as a "TKO." The third and most rare type of knockout occurs when the recipient experiences extremely distorted sensory processing and retains consciousness but cannot respond due to confusion or inability to determine stimuli from surroundings (usually caused by high trauma).

A primary key in fights is to keep calm because doing otherwise will ultimately hurt you in the end. A single action can have devastating consequences that have lasting effects on yourself and others around you.

A single punch may do nothing at all.

A vital element of training for self-defense is vital to an escape; multiple strikes. It's imperative that when one is attacked, they strike their assailant until the threat has been neutralized and an escape can be made. Unfortunately, many systems employ a single strike strategy which often fails due to not being able to subdue the attacker. While this strategy may still function on very thin or weak assailants, there's no room for error when trying to defend oneself against armed or someone who wishes to cause severe bodily harm. 

Awareness is an essential skill.

Awareness is reduced if you are unaware of what threats and hazards to avoid.

In situations where people are being particularly hostile, eye contact will help you size up a situation before putting yourself in harm's way. Remember that when physical confrontations take place (or look like they might), defending yourself with fists or weapons could paint you into a corner legally, as self-defence may not be your only option to defend yourself. However, it might be one of the strongest ones in court if you can prove it was indeed an act of self-defense.

The most dangerous types of attacks are asocial – these kinds of attacks tend to hide in plain sight, and since we can't see them coming, an asocial attack usually sneaks upon us. For example, serial killers don't look like thugs or give you any kind of warning sign when they creep right into your room at night, ready to prey on their victims. It's a warning that, unfortunately, couldn't be more precise. Once a person is confronted with the serial killer's physicality, it becomes apparent that there is only one way out: When an asocial threat attacks, you have to fight back!

Self Defense is NOT fighting!

Real self defense is not fighting.

Physical self-defense is no joke and should only be considered an absolute last resort when a situation can't be negotiated or resolved by other means. Close range attack might work in some situations, and it also increases your chances of being harmed, so you don't want to pull this card too early! In some situations, though, it is the only defense tool at your disposal which makes it the essential way to protect yourself from actual harm (unlike martial arts, magic tricks and kung fu that could cause harm but only in theory). There are many ways to defend yourself! It's about thinking about things smartly and choosing the right option for you at any given time - the least risk will prevent pain and suffering!
