I would like to share 5 different aspects of combat situations. These are the cold hard truths when it comes to reality based self defense. If you end up in an altercation outside a bar, or inside your home here are some facts to follow to stay alive and become a survivor.

Reality based self defense #1 - If your attacker is carrying and threatening you with a weapon, by all means give him what he wants. It's pointless to try doing a disarm technique, if you can just give him your watch or $20 in your pocket. Instead of going up against a guy with a knife willing and capable of stabbing you.

Self defense tips #2 - The type of combat you see on the big screen in movies isn't real. Don't go thinking a flying side kick can take someone out with a knife. I've seen a guy try it and end up nearly dead bleeding out on the streets infront of the nightclub I worked at. Use simple basic self defense tips to keep the fight from escalating and remember, what you see in the movies isn't real!

Reality based self defense #3 - Taking strikes and punches isn't that bad. Not every single strike your attacker throws at you will land properly and you will realize it's not that bad. Being able to take and absorb punishment with active sparring is essential to become a better fighter. Incorporate sparring with your friends and members of the dojo you train at to fight better under stress.

Self defense tips #4 - Before you can guarantee yourself you could pull of crazy combat moves you learned, you need a silent mind. You need to be able to fight under the stress of punches and kicks coming and hitting at you. You need to learn how to stay zen calm while fists and feet are flying at you, so you don't get scared or panic.

Reality based self defense #5 - Unlike the mixed martial arts tournaments like the UFC, there are no rules on the streets. If you feel the need to bite your attackers ear, while punching him repeatedly in the groin with uppercuts. Do it if it works. If that includes using a karate chop to smash in a bad guys throat do it if it keeps you alive.

Remember that a lot of fancy martial arts styles and stuff in movies doesn't work. Avoid those fancy arts with lots of kicks and stuff that wouldn't work on the street. Follow the tips above and become a better martial artist!
