Video: Self Defence vs Fighting vs Martial Arts
In this short clip from a recent Progressive Defence seminar, our own Joe Saunders discusses some of the differences between self defence, fighting and martial arts. Enjoy.
Loved your demo of the 'typical' martial arts defence against a real life attack. I did a demo yesterday similiar, but used the overhead hammer fist strike. The demo showed it is near impossible to block, then put the aggressors arm into a Figure 4 Armloock then throw him backwards.....
In my demo we avoided the swinging arm completely...... Situational awareness =Self Defence. Dont even get into the fight in the first place...... :)
