REAL SELF-DEFENCE OR REAL HYPE

There are so much realistic self-defence promotion in the media past and present. Each new author will have the ultimate answer for much talked about 'reality'?

The problem in most discussions is that the word reality are often misused. One person reality is not necessary another reality. For example, some ex-bouncers or street fighters say that it is best to punch or some best to kick or some best to grapple or use weapons.. etc.

Reality is situation and perception specific. One type of technique might work for someone accustomed to violence but not necessary for the general public. There are lots of factors that make a technique work, therefore you can only assume that the most common factors are most probable in combat.

There appears most common factors to applying self-defence techniques effectively must include tactical factors of surprise, aggression, conviction to execute brutal force or restraining force or lethal force.

It is not hard to work out effective resolution to street self-defence confrontation. But most people become vulnerable when they are uncertain when to act and whether it is right to act. The reality for responding to such uncertainty vary from person to person, and therefore, physical techniques will vary according to our reaction and response time.
