Tips for Effective Self Defense (by Michael Pace)

Hello Everyone !!! 

1. Whatever system/ style you are using, it should be simple and effective.

2. The system should be compliant with the realities of the adrenal rush. It must take into account the               following :--   
     a) Tunnel vision
     b) Auditory exclusion
     c) Loss of fine motor co-ordination
     d) Body shakes
     e) Sweating
     f) Minimized cognitive thinking

3. It should rely primarily on striking as opposed to throwing, joint manipulation or locks.

4. It should rely mostly on the use of hand techniques as opposed to kicking. The Taekwondo students            believe that kicking is the answer because :--
    a) The legs are longer than the arms, so they have the reach advantage over someone relying on hand               techniques.
    b) The legs are much stronger than the arms so are more powerful and devastating. 

5. The best system, style or techniques are ones we feel confident with and believe in.


Thanks for Reading !!!
