There is a serious, even deadly problem in the world of martial arts and self defense.
Most people assume that if someone has their black belt or competes in martial arts competitions that they already know how to defend themselves, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Having a Black Belt in any martial art does not mean you're ready to protect yourself in the real world.
Over the past three decades there have been a lot of changes in martial arts and self defense, but none as unfortunate and dangerous as right now. There's always been the "my style of martial art is better than your martial art" debate, but the problem goes much deeper than that. The critical issue is not about what martial art or self defense system is best, it is how martial arts and combat sports are perceived as self defense.
Due to the increasing popularity of martial arts on TV, in movies, more and more people are becoming interested in the martial arts, but at the same time, more and more people becoming confused about the subject of self defense. Every form of traditional martial art and martial sport has their place. They both build character and get you in great shape, but can they save your life in an attempted rape or homicide?
The benefits of studying the martial arts are legendary. Traditional martial arts like Karate, Aikido, Kung fu and combat sports like Mixed Martial Arts, Judo, Wrestling, Tae Kwon Do, Thai Boxing, Boxing and Brazilian Jujitsu will all give you life long benefits and are worthy endeavors, but will they give you the self defense tools you need to survive an all out, knock down, drag-out street fight? Do you really have to spend years and countless dollars studying a martial art to learn only the essential, proven self defense?
There is no argument that martial arts and martial sports develop character and get you in shape, but when it comes to self defense, you'll discover they fall drastically short under the stress of real combat.
