REINFORCE Your Life!
In the world of Self Defense we multiply our power by connecting or REINFORCING our hands to ourselves, or to the opponent. Often we REINFORCE our efforts using multiple techniques, and PRINCIPLES simultaneously. We purposefully gather other people to our cause REINFORCING our efforts in defending our lives.
In life we do this by sheer chance sometimes, REINFORCING things that make our lives work better, or to be more productive, and yet, the PRINCIPLE of Life Defense gains its power from purposeful training and implementation…
The attacker throws a hay maker punch toward the jaw of the unsuspecting young woman’s head with a quick knock out in mind. As the powerful fist comes round it gains speed toward the smaller defender. The young woman moves slightly to the inside, removing herself from the trajectory, utilizing every once of his speed, and power creating a new opportunity, by REINFORCING. The dynamic momentum results in throwing the attacker easily to the ground in a head and arm “scarf hold.”
Her hands REINFORCE his motion, connecting to pivotal points, and suddenly she is safe. Onlookers gasp in amazement that she avoided the ferocious impact, and actually took control. Someone in the crowd shouts that they are dialing 911 obviously to REINFORCE her defensive position.
In life, training in self-defense is a distinct advantage first by even understanding PRINCIPLES of self-defense. After all, most of us might never be attacked by a raging lunatic. Hence, most people don’t train. Secondly, knowing what to do if an attack actually happens by training for even the most unlikely conflict. It stands to reason, just like in self-defense, those that actually train do much better than those that don’t. Period.
The same is true in life. In life, conflict happens on almost a daily basis in one form, or another and those that train in Life Defense are far better prepared when it does. To be a top performer in any realm of life you’ve got to train to deal with that conflict before it happens.
Perhaps you might not run out and register the first Krav Maga class in your area. Yet, some form of conflict is all around us, all the time. Although it’s not always immediately fatal, it will take your life in small bits and pieces for sure. A lost opportunity here, a lost friendship there, not to mention the lost time, and effort when any small conflict happens.
It’s time to REINFORCE what you already know about life, conflict happens, and prepare for what certainly will occur in your life. REINFORCE by training in Life Defense!
