TACTICS: Making it easier to apply your techniques against a real attacker
Published: Tue, 07/13/21
Whatever you want to call them... they're the step-by-step, mechanical parts of martial arts and self-defense training that 99.9% of students (and teachers) focus on.
It seems that all but the most intuitive practitioners - those who already naturally "get it," can't see beyond where to step and what to do with your limbs...
...never asking the all-important question: "WHY?"
WHY is this technique done this way? (Most assume it's a "style" thing)
WHY are you stepping where the technique tells you to? (again, a "style," stance thing)
WHY do we punch, kick, or grab/throw at any given point in the technique? (duh, Sensei... 'cause the kata says so...!)
There is a a huge difference between techniques, tactics, and strategies. Each serves to give you an advantage, but they each have their own part to play in your defense... if, and that's a big IF, you can get past the "Monkey moves."
I cover a tactical framework that I introduce to my students in my book, "Advanced Self-Defense Combat Tactics" which you can get for F.R.E.E. here: https://onlineninjaacademy.com/self-defense-combat-tactics-book/
Warning though... if you're looking for more techniques and moves, as a opposed to a way to control the bubble and do things in a way that allows you to:
1) Always know where you are within the chaos of an attack...
2) Know exactly what you should be doing - what your priorities should be...
3) Break a fight / attack encounter down into manageable phases (instead of physical steps)...
... DON'T GET THIS BOOK!!!
It's available on Amazon.com if you want to buy it, but I'm giving it away right now for those who want to go beyond mechanical, step-by-step techniques and into the realm of controlling his movements and answering the question I get asked all the time...
"How will I know which technique to do, or if it will work against the person who's attacking me?"
Anyway, if you're interested in going beyond where most are content at stopping... grab you complimentary copy of "Advanced Self-Defense Combat Tactics" now! https://onlineninjaacademy.com/self-defense-combat-tactics-book/
Until next time!
