Martial Arts Are About Survival

Here's a shocker for you … martial arts is about survival. Yep, that fits. The purpose martial arts is to have the skills and knowledge to be able to do with bad people and still make it home in time to walk the dog. Martial arts are not isolated trendy type of workout designed to
impress the ladies as you tell them about the tournaments or trophies you've won. While this is definitely an awesome workout total-body and a great way to get in shape many students actually give little thought to its ultimate goal: survival.

Let's talk defending itself. I was one of the co-founder of United Karate Institute of Self-Defense, Inc. in Alexandria, Virginia. Three other instructors, my wife (also a black belt) and I decided that we have met too many high ranking black belt who took many
trophies in sport karate competition. They are champions and winners and knows all the tricks in the ring to be able to score points and come home with large gleaming plastic and marble trophies. Sounds great does not it. Except for one small problem, almost every one of these black belts "champions" did not possess even the most basic skills or knowledge of how defend themselves against even a single assailant, much less multiple assailants. What's up with that?

They are black belts. They should able to leap tall buildings, outrun bullets, stop a speeding train and run between the raindrops! Right? No, but it certainly seems to the average person that A black belt should be virtually indestructible and probably contains several almost
mystical power and knowledge. Wrong again. If you are not trained properly on a real emphasis on self-defense and street applications of martial arts techniques then you are just mimicking the movement from your instructor.

If you are a black belt and you can not even defend your way out of a wet paper bag and then what you have spent all those years doing? Let say To me it again, martial arts is about survival. It is not about phony point-sparring competition where the only way you can use the ring things you would not dream of using the road and where the most effective techniques from the street is not allowed in the ring.

When you study martial arts is not just all punching and kicking, you should know about the many qualities of humanity, both positive and negative because your brain is Your ultimate survival tool. Ultimately, at its core, is the need for live, be it in the streets of New York City,
the forests of Asia, the facts the Middle East or even a hostile business climate. To survive and resist harsh environments, the martial artist you must have many skills and have developed many physical and character attributes. To survive, you need to improve
yourself beyond your current capabilities. However, remember the best warrior are not warlike, but was able to summon the warrior spirit inside when it is needed.

Preparing to Survive: adaptability and versatility

Survival will require adaptability, which has the ability to respond quickly, effectively and without confusion changing stimuli. These stimuli may be different training conditions. They may be new techniques, styles of martial arts, weapons or modifications in light, temperature, speed,
distance, surface, or any other characteristics of your environment.

To survive, welcome change by many your other training. The more you do it, the better equipped you are to adapt effectively, because you are always doing it. Many martial arts systems training session where their students to practice their martial arts in the rain, snow, mud, swamps and other rough and difficult terrain. In this way students learn to be aware of environmental factors, but also distractions and focus on defeating their opponent.

Do not be disappointed as circumstances change or vary. Welcome to it. What so boring. Variety improves and maintains your survival skills. not maybe you can adapt if you first aware of what your surroundings where you can learn to adapt. If you can adapt, you can just stay.

Adaptability can also refer to the use of your environment. For example, you can use your environment by grabbing a handful of sand to throw in the eyes of your opponent's. You can grab a branch lying on the ground to hurt your opponent or shove them headlong into a vertical pole
support inside a subway car or city bus. These are examples of using feature of the terrain or surrounding environment to your advantage to develop further your martial procedures. Typically, these are the weapons of opportunity.

Welfare in many things is having a wide range of skills, you can also kick, punch well, move well, think well etc. versatility is the quality having many skills, adaptability is the ability to gain new skills immediately. As you become more versatile, you will gradually become more adaptable. Do not confuse these two trains and appropriate.

Realism and Diversity Training

The more realistic the training experience. . . The more shocking fact is seems. Different part of your training is training for realism. Take your training seriously. If it becomes a joke or too much of a social gathering, is easy to be surprised or overwhelmed in a real
situation. As I described earlier, some schools of martial arts training in swamps, rain, and all types of terrain and environments. Martial arts is a war fighting skills which realism is a key ingredient.

Part of the reason for the difference and diversity training is to introduce the various components realistic. A curious thing happens when a very realistic training drill, whether you're uncomfortable. Truth is not always pleasant, but the truth is what you are training for. Being
convenient is not a good thing. Get used to this practice so that you will not be surprised if it happens for real.

In a real battle, Try never to let your opponents see that you were injured. Play off of your damage if possible. Even if your injury is visible or obvious, let your opponent to think that it does not affect you. It will make him stop and think that maybe his approach is not effective. In
other situations, depending opponent and the circumstances you may want to pretend that you are injured worse than you are. Pretending a more serious injury can give your opponent a false sense of security thinking he was close to defeating you. Then you have him. This is deception at its best. It also helps not to focus on yourself. Keep your eyes and your mind on your opponent in a real fight. Damage can be dealt with later, a real contender should be dealt with immediately.

Probing: Preparing for invasion

If your opponent has an army of 1-100-thousand people or one person, you should probe to find weakness and collect information about your opponent's strength, position, mobility, and reaction skills.

Attack your enemy where they are weak, but first learn it through the cut. Test for vulnerabilities. Guard and observe the potential weakness, signs of inexperience or confusion. If you disguise you have an attack and your enemy does not respond in a way that is sufficient for his own
defense, then you have discovered a potential weakness or areas where you may be able to make an opening.

When you sift your opponent in a particular way, not just make a note what their response is, but how fast, accurate and powerful are their responses. These factors are important in determining how to attack and how to develop and time your attack.

Deception: The Key to Success

Sun Tzu said that deception is the key to success in war all, but what is deception? If I apply it, you need to know what it is and how to apply it. What constitutes fraud? Creativity is the key to deception. Think of ways to draw your opponent off their guard. When they
dependent on something, give them something else. Draw their attention away from your true intentions so that when your true intentions are realized, your opponent is caught unprepared and shocked. Do not be predictable.

The Deception is part of it:

• Creativity
• Feinting or Faking
• Distraction
• Opposites

The elements combined intelligently give you the basis of a strategy. You need to practice your creativity. Creativity means developing new and different feinting approach and methods of leisure or the use of opposites.

You should create or switch to new forms of deception because once your opponent recognizes a deceptive tactic, no matter how elusive or cunning, he is better prepared to counter it. Always give him a new thing to deal with. This will give you an advantage.

Distraction is not the same as faking. When you fake, you make your opponent think something is happening when it is not. Distraction gives your opponent something to focus on or deal with during follow up with your true intentions. The idea is that at the time that you follow up your true intentions, your opponent is still too busy dealing with what preceded it.

The difference between a distraction and fake one is that there is a distraction you shovel is doing something: a fake, you are only making your opponent think that you are doing something. This applies to fighting, self defense and many things.

Distractions are not always required physical movement. They may also be psychological. An attacker can cause intent on doing harm to you by talking to him. You can use psychology to distract him and engage him in a conversation, which is actually buys you time to size up the situation better or to maneuver in a more advantageous position.

If you are able to engage your opponent's mind and bother him that way, then you may not have to rely on physical ability and posturing. Consider the possibilities. This is how hostage negotiators to avoid unwanted physical damage from occurring.

Should fakes look real or not they are employed. A bad imitation is worse than no fake because you leave yourself vulnerable. The advantage of a believable fake is that if the opponent does not react in time you can use just to fake for real. To make a fake look really, you should believe
that you are actually going to do whatever it is. Then at the last instant, do not do this, pull the short procedure and immediately follow it procedures actually intended.

The purpose of a fake is to make your opponent react to it, generally to create an opening that can can capitalize on a variety of methods. For example, a fake kick to the head can make your opponent raise both arms to guard Their faces and heads. It exposes
their torso where you can actually be planning to land a punch.

Whatever method You chose to be a fake, the two key elements of an effective fake fake is that the method should look quite real – especially against an experienced martial artist – and the follow up after the counterfeit should be quickly and precisely to take advantage
opening or opportunity you have created.

Invasion

As I have said, attack your opponent's weaknesses. Of course, we must first discover his weaknesses through the cut. Once you have found them, attack them relentlessly. Do not attack him when he is strong or willing, hold off or you're wasting effort.

Attacks may take various forms. They might as pecking away occasionally to annoy your opponent and gradually wear him down. It could be that his greatest weakness is Just in endurance or strength. You can just float around occasionally pecking him until he can not
continue. Then either finish him off or leave.

An attack may be a short concentrated burst and then it was over. You can use a short burst to distract and disorient your opponent, putting them at a disadvantage, then follow up with the main body of the attack and finish the grand finale to secure a final victory.

Other critical concept for you to grasp is that in a self defense situation your survival may depend on striking first. The lot of this concept is a philosophy espoused by Bruce Lee. If you think an assault or attack is imminent when you find yourself in a dangerous situation and you are convinced that your safety or the life is in grave danger – strike first. The pre-emptive strike can give you the edge you need to survive. On the road and in combat, there are no extra points courtesy for allowing your assailant to throw the first strike.

Prompt

Do not hesitate. Wait, be prepared, time your techniques and strikes, but do not waver. Take advantage before your opponent seizes it. Punctuality is important in survival situations so that you can prevent your opponent. Prevention is necessary when you interpret or read
your opponent and determine that it is about to strike or position themselves in some way increases the threat they pose to you. Be decided on a course of action to prevent your opponent from realizing his plans.

Recycling Your Weapons

Do not allow an opponent to use a weapon (gun / knife / arm / leg) again after you have disarmed them. Trample on the arms, tossing, or kicking it away prevents recycling. However, you want to recycle your own weapons and use them again as often as is appropriate – Circular
strike can be easily repeated, modified and used repeatedly and combined with hip rotation for added power. If you grab an arm or wrist or foot – do not let to go. These are weapons. If you have one, damage it or control it so your opponent can not use it against you again.

Damaging Their Weapons

Punch in the arm or block arms punching the arm or wrist hurt. Damage to knee, foot, or leg so that it can use to kick again. If the situation is serious, break the wrist, shoulder, elbow, finger or so that they can be used again to hurt you! You must decide
what is appropriate based on the level threat.

Environment and terrain as Strategy

The things around you make up your environment. Includes topography, cover the surface of the terrain, objects, artifacts, obstructions, structures and people around you.

Your environment can be used to your advantage. Can also be used to take advantage of your opponent's. Be careful with this. The way in which the environment can be used are many. You may be able to hide or escape from a opponent in the dark or fog. You can use
everyday objects around you as weapons to add to your empty-handed defense.

You can use a wall or a railing to push or as a support for throwing a kick to make you more stable and less vulnerable. You can throw things on the path or the face of your attacker to distract him and buy you time to maneuver or escape.

You can use almost anything around you to throw, swing, tip, spray or move quickly and easy to put time or distance between you and your opponent. Consider the possibility often and you will be surprised what you find that you have not noticed. However, do not get too
caught up in a desperate self-defense situation trying to find too many objects or obstructions that may actually slow you down more than they do to your opponent.

Whenever the use of weapons instances or aspects of your environment they should be readily accessible and useable, only that requires a split second to grab or put to use to aid your defense or provide some momentary advantage. Anything else will definitely put you at a disadvantage.

You can train, study and prepare, but when you are in a self defense situation or any other form of combat, you do not have a grasp of the terrain and its surface, then you may be surprised and defeated.

It is very important to vary your training. Includes different kinds of form ground or surface where you train. Your training should give you the opportunity to train on grass, dirt, stone, water or mud and on smooth surfaces like ice or coating title. All surfaces require
you to adapt and select the various techniques and strategies from your library.

Terrain is not only the surface of the earth upon which you stand, but the contours of the land under the surface. As Sun Tzu said, the land can have many characteristics, which can give or take advantage of an advantage.

Land can provide an escape route such as the wide-open area. Another may be an escape route wooded area or a maze of alleys where you can give your opponents the slip. You can use the terrain as a vantage point, as the higher elevations. You can use it to encircle or
otherwise trap an opponent. You can use the terrain to conceal and protect. It might be good for you or bad for you depending on whether you are the one hiding yourself or if your enemy is hiding himself.

Any surface or terrain in which your status or balance is compromised or put at a disadvantage either require you to grab hold of some or handle bars to stay right or you will have to lower your center of gravity and your stance to keep from falling.

Use the terrain or objects around you to your advantage. Rocks and boulders offer a shield, concealment or protection. You can kick up loose dirt or throw it in your opponent's face. You can also do it with water or other liquids.

If some other surface is so unpredictable or bad that you can maintain balance and control, you can even consider drawing your opponent into the ground and taking less conflict, providing you are trained and studied ground combat. Then you have an advantage even harmful terrain.

You can use frozen, snowy surface for a fight to the ground, and then you're not so concerned with maintaining your balance or footing because you're down. If you choose to stay upright, and then you must deploy your stance to be more flat-footed to keep traction. Kicks and sweeps are more dangerous because they reduce your solid base. In these cases, the procedure can be hand be more appropriate. Your technique and approach will vary the terrain and the surface. Find useful where there appear to be nothing. This is the essence of success!

Also, be aware of the same advantages you can find, your opponent can use. Do not assume that your opponent does not use the terrain or surface the same advantage as you like. You need to train on different terrains, flat, uneven, hilly, gravel, wooded, cluttered with debris
or crushed stone, the narrow alleys around like or elevators, the wide-open areas and streams or in the car or moving train.

Terrain is a big part environment, as I have discussed. The more often you train in different terrains and environments, more versatile and adaptable you can be.

It's About Survival

I started out by saying that martial arts is about survival. The topic I have covered in this article only give a brief glimpse of a few key concept for most commercial martial artists were educated at foreign. I encourage you to study fighting techniques and tactics for urban combat and street assaults and to incorporate what you learn in your training. Check out books and videos to get a more good sense of tactics and learning how techniques you learned in your martial arts training can be incorporated or adapted for practical use in a real situation rather than simply as a means of expression for your next belt test.

We had a saying in the United Karate … If you can not defend yourself … nothing else matters.
