5.5 habits to live by
Responsibility Is Yours
5.5 habits to Be The One Who Goes Home
The first thing that you have to do is get the attitude that you are not going to be a victim. You are going to take responsibility for your own safety and those of your loved ones. That’s just the way.
- The first thing you have to be aware of when you take responsibility is awareness. The KISS method of Self-Defense will show you how.
- The second thing that you have to do is learn your weapons. Learn what weapons you have on your body, the punches, the hammer, fist, elbows, shoulders… Once you find out what these weapons are, we will work on drills to learn how to use these weapons.
3. Once you have gone through the drills and you decide which weapons work for you or which ones you’re comfortable with work more specifically on those.
Pick five different weapons that you feel comfortable with. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a chop, a hammer, fist, a punch, an elbow, a knee, a kick, heel stomps. Whatever you feel comfortable doing.
Sometimes your health has an impact on what you can do. If you’re not real strong, or you’re not too fast, you don’t have good balance. Work on things that will improve those.
Once you’ve drilled how to use the weapons get into applications of those weapons.
Two or three different applications with the same weapon.
Figure out what attacks are normal for wherever it is you are.
Whether it be people trying to rob you and they threaten you with bodily harm, punches, kicks, swinging baseball bats.
When you learn some of the applications work on how to make them work for you. Learn body mechanics, body structure, power generation, and how to hit hard.
4. Learn the targets that you need to go after.
Some are hard and you have to hit them hard to break them.
Some are soft targets and you don’t have to hit them as hard.
Some are results of body mechanics, twisting and manipulating to get locks. Things that will cause pain. If these things don’t work, learn options. What to do instead. If it happens to be an attack like an overarm bear hug or a headlock, something you really haven’t practiced the same weapons, the same body mechanics and structure work. You need options that you don’t think you’ll ever apply. Still work on them. You never know if you might need them.
5. You have to decide what reaction you want.
Do you want to escape?
Do you want to disable?
Do you want to destroy?
Whatever your intentions think about them before you get into a confirmation.
When it comes to the confrontation I don’t necessarily know what I’m going to do until they do whatever it is. If you act like a victim, they’re going to treat you like one. If you let them know, you’re not going to be a victim and they decide to come after you anyway. That’s their choice.
When and if that happens, you do what you have to do. As I said earlier, it’s whether you want to escape, evade, disable, or destroy. That’s your decision. It all comes when your attacker does what they do. If you take them out and there is a second attacker, they might rethink. Maybe they shouldn’t attack. Maybe they’ll leave you alone. If you’re lucky it will go that way. You do enough damage and do whatever it takes so that you’re the one that goes home.
5.5 Use this stuff.
Live it.
Practice it. And when you do practice, do it as if your life depends upon it. It just might. These are the ways you can win.
- Assess the situation.
- Decide what is to be done.
- Then do it!
In the end you want to…
