Not all that likely to work but something to try.\u201d<\/em>\n\nI know many people wonder about this, and think\u2026\n\n\u201cjeez how can I possibly defend myself from a predator who\u2019s been in more fights and is meaner and probably bigger than me<\/em>.\u201d\n\nMost of us have thought this before. The truth is you can equip yourself \u2013 quickly and easily \u2013 to have the best possible chance to defeating a predator\n\nTo be fair the guy I quoted at the top was making the point that avoidance is the best policy to stay safe, which I wholeheartedly agree with.\n\nBut\u2026not all of us have the luxury of being able to avoid dangerous places or situation.\n\nNot all of us can live in a gated community, or on the nice side of town. Sometimes we have to walk back to our car in an empty lot late at night, or walk down a dark alley for some reason. This is just life.\n\nShould we avoid dangerous places if at all possible? Of course we should<\/em>.\n\nAnd most of us do. It\u2019s common sense. But all of us will get into bad situations once in a while.\n\nAnd I don\u2019t know about you, but I certainly don\u2019t want my personal safety to be resting on \u201ca Hail Mary pass at a football game.\u201d\n\nThe good news is it doesn\u2019t have to.\n\nBy learning effective, easy and efficient self defense techniques taught by someone with real world experience<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, who has tested and perfected those techniques in the heat of battle or street fights, you can and will prepare yourself for those dangerous situations.\n

STEP #1: Develop \u201cTriggers\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe first step is to become mentally prepared by using something I like to call personal triggers. These triggers will make sure you are ready for action on a moment\u2019s notice and make sure you know exactly what to do in any situation. For more on triggers keep up with my blog I\u2019ll be talking about it in depth in the next weeks\n

STEP #2: Understand or define what \u201cSelf Defense\u201d means<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe next step is to really understand what self defense is all about. There are a lot of misconceptions out there. To clear this up you should check out an article I wrote about the difference between self defense and martial arts<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>.\n\nOnce you\u2019ve got a firm basis on what your goals are and when you should act you must arm yourself with some \u2018tools\u2019 of the trade. These tools will be focused on inflicting maximum damage to specific TARGETS on an attacker\u2019s body. They should not be too heavily focused on the techniques of the move, which will be fairly simple.\n\nTo get you started I\u2019ve put together a package I call 15 Brutal Fight Enders, that I\u2019m giving away for free. These simple to use move will give you a strong basis on which you can build one nasty and effective self defense system.\n\nRemember Hail Mary\u2019s are for church and football games, not self defense. By taking these two steps you\u2019ll no longer be relying on a \u201cHail Mary.\u201d You will however be making your attacker wish he did a few more.\n\nDon\u2019t forget to sign up for the 15 Brutal Fight Enders<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>. My business partner isn\u2019t too happy that I\u2019m giving them away for free, and I can\u2019t guarantee they will be up next week.<\/em>\n\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
