How you train is how you will respond and react in the real deal.

Self-defense is about survival and nothing else. It is not about fighting fair, clean or being honorable. It is about doing what you have to do to go home and see your loved ones once again.

You don’t know how a thug is going to react when you connect your first blow to him so make sure you mean it when you attack.

He could back off (flight) or become enraged (fight), plane and simple combat is about doing whatever needs to be done so you get out alive. Lie, con, manipulate so you can catch him off guard and administer a tactic.

Release the idea from your mind the image of a DIRTY FIGHTER; there is now such thing. He is actually a smart fighter who knows how to use violence to his advantage.

Free your mind of that idea, could mean the difference between life and death, it will subconsciously hamper your actions.

The importance of training realistically or condition stimulus training could mean the difference between life and death. Training the mind to be accustomed to stimuli that is violent and vile you mean not freezing in violent situations.

Here are some tips and dirty tricks

HIT FIRST, HIT HARD, KEEP HITTING

Practice saying your trigger sentence or word and cueing yourself to attack when you say it.

Make sure your speech is smooth and that you are not telegraphing your words or actions before attacking.

If you are a woman use the power of  sweet talk and get him to believe that you will do as he says, then turn the tables when he least expects it.

When speaking use your hands to help you speak, set them up to deflect or to position them closer to the target area you want to attack.

Use your surroundings, push your attacker into an object so he trips or falls. Giving you time to run off or to follow up with a more devastating tactic to immobilize him.

Gouge, spit, throw dirt or sand in his eyes to temporarily blind him to give you those vital seconds to get away.

Make your training as real as possible have your training partner grab you, swear, yell at you and rehearse what you are going to say before you attack

The main reason most people drop out of the martial arts — besides life taking them in different directions — is because they didn’t take the time to do any research and found out later the studio they joined wasn’t what they expected.

The time you invest researching studios will pay you back a thousand fold. It will also help you find the right studio for you. You’ll be more enthusiastic about your training and you’ll get more out of it.

Here are eight consumer tips to help you make a more informed decision before starting at any martial arts studio:

1. Belt Rank Isn’t Everything. Just because an instructor is a high ranking black belt doesn’t automatically mean they’re a good instructor. What’s important is if they can help you reach your goals and teach you what you want to learn.

2. Size of Studio. Quality of instruction can vary from studio to studio no matter its size or what they teach. A larger studio may have more convenient hours, but may not offer you the personalized instruction you’re looking for that a smaller studio may provide.

3. Watch a Class. Don’t overlook this step. This will tell you more about the studio than anything – especially when you show up unannounced. Most public studios welcome walk-ins.

4. Visit Several Studios. Just because a studio is close, doesn’t make it the best place for you train. Wouldn’t you rather train at a place Five or ten minutes further away if it better matched your needs? Visit at least three places before deciding just to be sure.

5. Talk to Students. Students will tell all. They will tell you what to expect and why they decided to train there. This may help you make a better, more informed appraisal of the studio and its instructors.

6. Read the Fine Print. Not all studios require a contract, but if they do, pay particular attention to the terms of any contract and make sure you fully understand your rights before signing on the dotted line.

7. Ask Questions. Don’t be worried that you will offend the instructor because you look for clarification. If an instructor or studio owner doesn’t answer your questions to your satisfaction, then maybe you should move on to the next studio.

8. Try Before You Buy. If the studio you’re interested in offers a trial program, it is recommended you take it. This will tell you a lot about how you will be taught and what you can expect from the studio.
