THE ESSENCE OF MARTIAL ARTS
People are generally attracted to the study of martial arts for a combination of the following reasons:
-Fitness/Health
-Competition/Sport
-Cultural Appeal/Preservation of Culture
-Building Character (Discipline, Self-Confidence, Honor,etc.)
-Self Defense
I've been fascinated by martial arts for as long as I can remember.
I appreciate martial arts for ALL OF THE ABOVE reasons, and I'm sure many of you do, too, but In my opinion the essence of Martial Arts is street-practical Self Defense.
Self Defense means doing whatever it takes to end a physical conflict quickly.
There are many simple techniques (easily mastered with a little practice), that are so dangerous that they are outlawed from competition martial arts.
These include elbow strikes from all angles, eye jabs/gouging, groin strikes, shots to the solar plexus, and most vicious of all -- biting.
It is a very good idea to become well versed in these street fighting tactics. Seek out quality training to learn exactly when and how to use them. It could possibly save you or a loved one from injury or death.

In Street Fighting, accept WHATEVER WORKS
When it comes down to it, I train in martial arts so that I can have the skills necessary to keep myself, my family,and others in need SAFE FROM VIOLENCE AT HOME and ON THE STREET!!!Call it Street Fighting, Close Combat, or Reality Based Self Defense (RBSD)....
I call it "WHATEVER WORKS".
WHATEVER ends the fight as quickly as possible
WHATEVER incapacitates the aggressor with minimal damage to self
WHATEVER keeps you and those you care about free from injury.
Always be on the lookout for easy-to-use techniques that can subdue an attacker quickly.
