Let’s talk about training vs. not training. A lot of students train to compile techniques. The more they learn the better they get - or do they?
Technique will differentiate a trained person over an untrained person. Like knowing how to actually throw a real punch with your body weight behind it is a difference maker. But that is not the real difference that makes a trained person be able to handle a self-defense encounter better.
The real “secret” is the process. The directions on your shampoo bottle are a good example: wet hair, lather, rinse, repeat. Follow the process and repeat the process. Again. And again. And again. Training is not in the technique but more so in the process. Being exposed to different attacks and situations day-in & day-out, week-in & week-out, month-in & month-out is the true secret.
My instructor used to tell me, “Recognize the situation, recognize your position, you’ve been here before.” The more you do this the more it becomes automatic. And that is what can save your life.
