Self Defense Part I: The Basics
This section covers how to think and act in a hostile situation. Effective self defense and martial arts instruction begins with training the mind before we even begin to train the body. The martial arts as applied to self defense FIRST concentrate on putting you into the right mind-set - on training and instruction that will enable you to have a cool, clear head in a bad situation. This is the essence of this section. Read on to learn more...

Welcome, friend. These pages will teach you how to conquer fear - and how to think and act in a hostile situation.
The first thing you must understand is that when someone attacks you, there are TWO battles that you have to fight with them.
The first battle is mental. The second battle is physical.
In simple words, you must defeat your enemy in your own mind, BEFORE you can defeat him in physical combat. Here, on these pages, you will learn how to defeat fear and how to THINK in a hostile situation, so that your enemy begins to be defeated before you begin to fight.
These pages on Self Defense Training are directed at basically untrained
people, teaching them how to fight (or flee) - on how to SURVIVE a bad
situation.
We will discuss some important points in this section..
- The Battle against Yourself
- Understanding your Body
- Analyzing situations, recognizing traps, and REACTING correctly
- Meditations and Manipulations to aid you in combat..
