Insider Self-Defense Survival Tips

Your Roadmap To Destroying The Other Guy

******************************************************
"Hit quickly, hit hard and keep right on hitting. Give
the enemy no rest, no opportunity to consolidate his
forces and hit back at you. This is the shortest road
to victory"

-- General Holland M. 'Howlin' Mad Smith, USMC
******************************************************

Most instructors don't advocate 'hitting first' and
following the above quote's advice. They get enmeshed
in self-defense laws, spiritual, and social morays
surrounding the issue of such a seemingly aggressive
approach.

We have already established that fighting is not
something that is entered into for any reason other
than to stop an attacker whom otherwise would do you
serious, life-threatening, physical harm.

Let's take a brief look at this 'hit first' principle.
In a violent confrontation you have 2 choices:

1) You may CAUSE the other guy to respond to your
action or,

2) You may REACT to the action of the other guy.

If you choose the latter you are taking a defensive
and potentially, a very dangerous method of self-
protection.

It requires that you watch the other guy initiate the
attack, quickly figure out what is happening and then
be able to effectively COUNTER that attack.

Essentially with this choice, you allow the other guy
to control the fight and then attempt to wrest control
after the fact.

There are some very interesting options when using
this 'counter' strategy but any way you look at this
it is a defensive approach.

An educated fighter, however, understands that if he
is the first to strike his target then he will control
the situation.

So even though the other guy moves first to say, throw
a punch to the face, the fighter keys off of the
movement and kicks the other guy's bladder before the
punch even get halfway to the face.

As the other guy reacts to the blow, the fighter
delivers yet another strike to a specific target, then
another -- until the other guy is no longer a threat.

What gives this fighter the confidence to IGNORE the
attack and focus on his target of choice?

That confidence is a result of a specific
understanding of the human body's nervous system and
how to manipulate the spinal reflex reactions designed
to protect the body.

The same reactions that automatically pull your hand
off a hot surface can be triggered to destroy the other guy
and completely shut down his ability to fight.

This literally becomes your 'roadmap to destroying
the other guy'. The specific methods used to maximize
this knowledge go beyond the scope of this newsletter.

Suffice it to say that a competent instructor can give
you a tremendous advantage by utilizing this
knowledge. With it you can make rapid progress in your
ability to control a violent confrontation.

This knowledge breeds confidence that in turn, breeds
your desire to 'hit first'. I can't say it any better
than Howlin' Smith but I'll add that learning about
spinal reflex reactions is your shortest road to
victory in a life or death fight.
