Self-defense means many things:

• It is the moral imperative we use to draw a line between predatory and “civilized” use of force. “I will only fire in self-defense.”
• It is the legal rule we use to judge whether or not that use of force is a crime. “The defendant claims to have acted in self-defense.”
• It’s a catchall term used to describe physical training for such activities. “I’m taking a self-defense class.”
• It can also refer to the unarmed techniques learned there. “If someone comes after me I’ll use self-defense on him.”

It means many things — and this vague imprecision is exactly why it is useless for our needs in training to do violence by hand.

The moral imperative and the legal rule are fine for what they do — one informs the decision process before the fact and the other helps society figure out how it feels about it after the fact — it is the carrying over of the term to describe physical training and technique that is harmful.

As was pointed out in the comments to the previous post, words mean things. A single word can connote entire constellations of meaning, in varying shades and intensities.

When you think of “self-defense” or “self-protection”, what do you see?

I see nothing.

Okay, maybe that’s a little too harsh, too fast.

If I try really hard to cut through the ambiguous fog of those phrases, I can almost see — at best — someone getting attacked, desperately trying to get away, maybe getting backed into a corner. Flailing like a terrified animal.

At worst I see someone curled up in a ball on the ground.

That’s what “self-defense” means to me.  And that’s why I won’t teach, practice or do it.

I’m only ever interested in hurting people.

The term “self-defense” has no operational value. It does not paint a picture of me doing anything of consequence — it suggests passivity, being acted upon by someone else, moving second and hoping for the best. Rather than getting anything done.

All theatrics aside, the answer truly is ‘none.’

Everything you train to do to people–and really, pick any one thing, shattered, torn, crushed, ruptured and otherwise useless for the very important function it used to perform before you got hold of it–has got to hurt, right? The gouged eye, especially, must be a unique kind of agony, more intense and horrible than anything you’ll ever (hopefully) experience. How it feels has got to count for something, right?

Maybe.

And because it’s just ‘maybe,’ you can’t bet your life on it.

The problem with pain is that it is subjective–it’s experienced entirely inside the brain of the individual. Because it’s a subjective experience, it can be dampened or magnified depending on the person’s mood, state, and/or current circumstance.

The physical fact of pain is that it is a signal elicited by the deformation or destruction of tissue. (And cold & heat–in short, the signal is supposed to impel you to move away from things that are doing you harm.) And that’s where the facts end–it’s how the brain processes that signal that makes pain so ‘iffy.’ How many times have you received a minor injury or wound that you had no idea how it occurred, or even when? Because you were distracted, you processed the pain signal as something else, as pressure, or an itch. On the flip side, if you held still and watched yourself get cut (for example) it might end up being more painful than if it happened without your direct knowledge. Both of these situations illustrate just how subjective pain can be.

It’s important to note that spinal reflex reactions are NOT in response to pain, in fact, they are usually triggered ahead of the pain signal reaching the brain. The reflex happens outside the ‘feel pain, decide what to do’ loop–and we should all be glad it does. That way we don’t waste any time registering that the stove is hot and then deciding whether or not to pull the hand back. The hand hops off the stove on autopilot, THEN it hurts.

Can pain do anything for you in terms of violence? It can–through two effects: vasovagal syncope (fainting) and encouraging the man to capitulate. I’ve heard direct anecdotal evidence of both of these at work in violence (viewing a deformed limb and passing out; curling up into a ball (‘going fetal’) once injured and on the ground), but because both of these are situational and subjective you can’t bet your life on them. If you start tearing a man apart and he faints–terrific, now it’s time to take full advantage of what you got. If you break him and he quits, likewise exploit the hell out of the gift of his lack of resolve. But don’t count on it.

If he is ‘feeling no pain’ or has iron-willed resolve or simply has a high pain tolerance, how bad it hurts will literally make no difference. This is why we don’t care about whether or not it hurts–only whether or not it works. And by ‘works’ I mean that thing you broke doesn’t work anymore. If his torn-out knee agonizes him into fainting or quitting, great–if not, it still doesn’t work. He can’t get up and run around. He’s down and crippled and now you get to set to work on a downed, crippled man.

This is the difference between what we at TFT train and ‘pressure point’ or joint-locking techniques. Both of those things hurt like an expletive in all caps with three exclamation points after it when we do them on each other in a controlled environment, especially if we’ve been told ahead of time that they are excruciating. Get out into the real world and you’ll have mixed results–those who are susceptible to pain will writhe and cry and submit; those who aren’t feeling it will keep on trying to kill you. And should they get loose, they will.

This is why you want to hew to the idea of ‘broken is broken’ instead of ‘this is gonna hurt.’ Does it hurt? Maybe. Can it hurt? Sure. Do you care?

Not one whit.

The biggest problem with ‘self-defense’ is that it says nothing about what has to happen to the other guy. Or, to be blunt, it says nothing about what you have to do to the other guy. And that missing something is probably whatever it is that he wants to do to you.

Think about it this way: do you really think a serial killer is worried that someone will use ‘self-defense’ on him? Is ‘self-defense’ what he does to his victims? Not hardly. If anything, he’s afraid of being stabbed in the neck, or shot in the head–if anything, he’s afraid of what he knows works. And even then, the criminal sociopath doesn’t spend much time worrying about someone doing it to him. He puts his focus where he knows he’ll get the best result–he focuses on doing it to others, first. And that ‘it’ is violence.

In swimming, simply having the idea of ‘not drowning’ isn’t enough. You need to know, mechanically, how to move yourself through the water. Likewise, you don’t survive violence simply by seeking to thwart a negative outcome, to counter what the other guy is trying to do–you survive violence by hurting people. You win by crippling, maiming and killing. You win by using the tools and techniques of the killer against himself. You win by doing what works.

In the end, if you don’t know how to hurt people, put them down and keep them there you don’t know how to survive–and win–in the realm of violence. And you’ll always be one neck-stab behind the guy who does.

“Secrets For Staying Alive When ‘Rules’ Don’t Apply”

When Surviving Isn’t Enough: The Critical Reason Why You Can’t Just Survive An Attack — You Must Win.

******************************************************

******************************************************

70/30.

That’s the split.

Seventy percent of people I train come to me after the fact. They’re survivors.

But I’m here to tell you — today, surviving isn’t enough.

It’s not even close.

Jim is a survivor.

It was a crisp autumn night he stood frozen with fear as the meth-induced rage of a mugger worked into an unprovoked homicidal attack.

He was stabbed 3 times.

He’s still with us because his girlfriend attempted to stop the thug. She was stabbed twice in the neck and bled-out before the paramedics could arrive.

At 32, Jim had years of martial arts training but he lacked the one thing necessary to win.

John is a police officer with 12 years on the force and numerous defensive tactics courses under his belt. He’s a survivor.

On a bright August day he pulled over a ’79 Chevy Camaro for a dangerous lane change while speeding.

As he approached, the 6’5″, 262lbs very drunk driver got out to contest John’s decision to stop him.

Before he finished the verbal warning he’d used a 1,000 times before, the driver bum-rushed John, lifted him off the deck and slammed him to the pavement.

Following the techniques he’s been drilled in, John fumbled for his pepper spray while the driver only laughed as he repeatedly pounded John’s head against the pavement.

John lost consciousness as kicks to the head and torso rained down from the alcohol-fueled rage.
He’s still on the force today but in an admin job. Nerve damage to his right side is pretty severe.

His facial reconstructive surgery went well and surgeons think he’ll regain 90% control of his facial muscles, eventually.

John’s defensive tactics training was extensive. The board that reviewed the video of the incident stated John responded exactly as he was trained.

The only problem was his training lacked the one thing necessary to win.

Jamie is a survivor, too.

She did everything the serial rapist asked.

But the self defense course she took never gave her a technique for the way this 234lbs brut held her on the floor of her apartment.

When she said she’d do whatever he wanted he responded by punching her face and breaking her jaw. From there it got worse.

After 3 reconstructive surgeries, she eventually recovered from the beating but not from being raped.

Her self defense training had great techniques and real life scenarios. Hell, it even had an instructor in a padded suit attacking them, one she could hit as hard as she wanted.

But it lacked the one thing necessary to win.

Now, rather than giving you the answer, I’d like to hear what you think was lacking in the training of these three survivors.

Send your thoughts to me at: http://www.askdatabase.com/campaigns/?af=35874

I’ll review them and discuss this further in my next newsletter.

Until then, ask yourself if you are training to survive or training to win.

And more importantly… do you truly know the difference?

Until next time,

PS. New self defense training class: Las Vegas March 7-9, 2008 .This is where you learn to win… not just survive. And you do it in just 3 days. And it stays with you forever… even if you never practice again.

At first, it may be hard to wrap you mind around because it goes against everything you’ve ever been told or trained for or even believed. But it’s what people who win use. And when you understand it, you’ll know how to win too.

“When Violence Is The Only Answer”
(c) Copyright 2007, The TFT Group

It may seem a strange idea, a contradiction, that knowing how to tear people apart can bring you peace of mind. But that’s exactly what it does for those who secure the skill of violence for themselves. You know that no matter what happens, you have a skill that can’t be taken away like a knife, never runs out of ammunition like a gun and is with you and ready to go no matter where you are or how long it’s been since you trained last.

There’s an old saw that says those who know how to fight have food on the table no matter what–in good times, they train. In bad times, they do.

Learning the skill of violence is an investment in yourself, your family, that is yours for the rest of your life. Time and again we hear back from clients we trained years ago, some so long ago that we have to be reminded of who they are. Invariably they’re contacting us to tell the tale of an awful situation they got to walk out of alive.

All because they secured the skill for themselves, never knowing if they’d ever even need it, but damn glad they had it on that one bad day.

Todays entry deals with the real goal behind Self-Defense.

This definitely is not what you’ll read in most Self-Defense Books, see in Self-Defense Videos, or hear taught in Self-Defense Courses. But I think you’ll agree this unquie perspective really makes the thought of dealing with violence much easier.

See what you think…

THE AWFUL TRUTH ABOUT VIOLENCE — A MANIFESTO

For too long fallacies have held sway while common criminals exploit fear and ignorance; the simple facts that govern the effective use of violence as a survival tool are well known to them, and denied to the law-abiding, successfully socialized citizen.

Know, then, these simple facts and let your power increase:

Violence is available to everyone.

You are a predator born with stereo vision for hunting prey and teeth for ripping and tearing flesh. You are a member of the only species that makes an art of war. The average human body is an awesome engine of destruction, driven by the most dangerous thing in the known universe–a human brain. You are a survival engine, the descendant of winners; your ancestors didn’t get you here by laying down and giving up. They made the losers do that. Violence is your birthright.

Violence works on everyone.

Superior physical ability, knowledge, experience and iron will are all trumped by the thumb in the eye. There is nothing anyone can do to make themselves immune to the laws of the physical universe. Bullets are not swayed by opinion or presence, they are maddeningly impartial.

Another way to state this, and the above, is: “Violence: anyone can do it and no one is immune.”

These two facts, taken together, are simultaneously reassuring and terrifying. Reassuring in that you can get it done on anyone. Terrifying in that anyone can get it done on you.

We tell ourselves comforting lies to get over it (‘if I do this-and-such a technique there’s nothing he can do’ and ‘if I’m stronger/faster/meaner I’m better off’), but you’re much better off accepting the reality of it: all you can ever really do is level the playing field.

Knowing how to use violence as a survival tool–and being willing to do so–puts you on nice, flat terrain, even and equal with the worst of humanity. You can see the people who still have their heads in the sand, asses up, and the predators who stalk among them taking advantage.

Before you knew how to grab the tool of violence in both fists and swing it hard and sure you were at a disadvantage. Now that disadvantage is gone, and in its place is the stone–cold truth–you’re responsible for you, all alone. Either you can rely on yourself or you can’t; either you’ll get the job done or you won’t.

You have a choice: you can be afraid, or you can be resolved.

Violence is biomechanical.

It is purely the interplay of physics and physiology. Magical thinking and psychic powers are trumped by the tire-iron to the head.

All violent acts are identical.

Regardless of the infinitude of circumstances leading up to the violent act, and the myriad of outcomes on the other side, the actual point of violence–where injury occurs–is always the same. The thumb in the eye, the boot in the groin, the bullet in the brain–they are all identical in that they are injuries.

Violence is about destruction, not competition.

The breaking of the human body, the shutdown of the human brain, these are the things that success in violence are made of.

Anything that takes the delivery of injury and tries to transmute it into a tit-for-tat exchange (his technique vs. my technique, defense, etc.) is missing the point, and will very likely get you killed.

To believe you are engaged in a competition is to plant your head in the sand. Violence is simply one person injuring another. The serial killer who just wants to murder will be undeterred by counters.

The one doing the violence tends to prevail.

Violence is one person injuring another person. This is the definition of the effective use of violence. While all violent acts have injury in common, they also share another trait: at the end, the person walking away is typically the one who did it.

The one getting the violence done to them tends to get injured.

Defense wounds are found on corpses. ‘Nuff said.

It takes no training or physical conditioning to murder someone.

Serial killers are rarely impressive physical specimens. They tend not to lift weights or take kung-fu. They are, however, intimately familiar with the contents of this manifesto.

Violence is neither good nor evil.

It is a tool, and as such it takes on the moral color of the user–but only after the fact. Bludgeoning someone to death with a claw hammer can be murder in one instance and justified homicide in another–but in both cases someone bludgeoned someone else to death with a claw hammer. Knowing how doesn’t make you a bad person.

The goal of violence is injury. Period.

This is last because it is most important–you will not forget it. Anything that advances this goal is useful to you; anything that ignores, postpones, or otherwise hinders this goal can get you killed.

After all is said and done, the only thing you need to remember is… INJURE HIM… NOW!

Once you understand the difference between social aggression and asocial violence, you can make informed decisions on what you’re looking at — if it’s a ranting, noisy display, you have a choice. If someone pulls a knife and cuts you, you won’t make the fatal mistake of asking them why.

What you may have thought of as a single, sweeping continuum from hard stares to yelling to shoving to trading blows to grappling to killing can now be seen for what it is: a social display of aggression where the end-goal is not killing. The end-goal is social dominance. Now you understand that the tool of violence-the destruction of the human body with the goal of shutting down the brain-is always available. You don’t have to work your way through a step-by-step process to get charged up in order to use it.

And neither does he.

This should be the most sobering point. If you get into a rough-and-tumble bar fight to show him what’s what and he decides that he needs to injure you, that’s what’s going to happen. You think you’re going to trade blows. He just wants to stab you. Something is terribly out of balance here and you’re going to pay the price for playing by the rules in the place where there were none.

If, on the other hand, he just wants to compete with you for respect and territory, then it’s all going to work itself out like it always does.

The problem is that you have no idea what he’s thinking as you stand up to go after him. Will he play by the rules? Or will he feel so threatened that he will resort to violence to injure you, put you down, and end you? You won’t know until it’s happening, and that’s just not a smart bet.

Your best bet is keeping the competition in the ring-not on the street where it’s completely uncontrolled-and keeping the tool of violence for solving the problems that only that tool can solve. Like when someone wants to seriously maim or kill you. Being able to recognize the difference between social posturing and asocial violence will allow you to assess situations and make an informed decision on whether or not (and to what degree) to get involved.

If you find yourself asking “Should I hit him?” the answer is probably No.

The only reason you are even asking is because something deep down inside of you has recognized that, from a social and moral point of view, there’s something iffy about responding to the situation with violence. It’s the little angel of conscience on your shoulder, whispering in your ear.

Asocial violence is easy to recognize. It’ll make you sick to your gut and freeze your blood. You won’t have time for internal debates. The debate won’t even come up. In it’s place will be a sudden vacuum devoid of moral or ethical considerations. A vacuum that must be filled with decisive action. Attempting to communicate in this silent void is to assist in your own murder. Your words, your body language, your very humanity, mean nothing to the criminal sociopath. He won’t even blink when he pulls the trigger.

Keeping the social and asocial clear, clean and separate will save you a lot of trouble. It’ll keep you from breaking someone’s neck in a bar fight and it’ll keep you from negotiating with a serial killer. It keeps surprises to a minimum, and that’s always a Good Thing.

In Summary

• When we think of violence we think of social interactions gone wrong-the bar fight, and at the outer end, the mugging. We prepare for these situations from a social point of view; we look through our social tool box to try to find remedies.
  
• Asocial violence is a very different beast than we’ve been led to believe from our social perspective, and cannot be handled using social tools. In fact, attempting to do this is what makes the average citizen such a brilliant victim.
  
• The criminal sociopath knows that violence is good for one thing and one thing only: shutting off the human brain.
  
• Confusing the two is bad for your health.
  
• Recognizing the difference between them saves you a lot of trouble.

I’ve been putting up some posts on the subject of the tool of Violence. This is very different from most views on Self Defense. I think today’s post clarifies exactly why this understanding is critical to you surviving what most poeple call “self-defense” situations…

SOCIAL CONFRONTATION VS. ASOCIAL VIOLENCE: DON’T GET CAUGHT IN THE TRAP

You’re in fifth grade and you’ve had it with the school bully. He’s been at you every day this year; humiliating you, taunting you, pushing you around. Giving you random shots in the arm that leave you sore for days.

You’ve let it slide for months because you’re not a bad person. You’ve been taught to turn the other cheek, to meet violence with peace, knowing that bullies eventually tire and peace wins out.

But mostly you’ve let it slide because you’re afraid.

But today is different. Today he pushed you one too many times, and too far–he pushed you over an invisible line in your head and your fear evaporated in the heat of rage. You want to give it all back to him. You put your head down and charge him, knock him back and start swinging away, landing blow after blow against the sides of his head.

He’s startled but quickly recovers and gets you in a headlock. As the two of you struggle, a crowd of children gathers around you, attracted to the action like iron filings in a magnetic field, all of them chanting in joyous unison: “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Suddenly, a teacher steps in and pulls the two of you apart, much to everyone’s disappointment.

This is pretty standard stuff. We’ve all been there, whether you were a participant, or in the crowd that came running to see.

Let’s switch it up a bit and suppose, just for argument’s sake, that instead of a fist fight the kid brings a gun to school and shoots the bully in the head.

Do you think the other kids would gather around to watch, to cheer him on? What would you do?

You’d do what any of us would do in the face of violence– you’d get the hell out of there.

Both of these situations involve violence. So why are there two very different reactions from the crowd?

We all know real violence when we see it–someone being shot in the head, or stabbed repeatedly, or kicked to death by a mob. We have a primal, visceral reaction to the real thing. It sickens us.

And yet, we can watch a bloody and grueling title bout with nothing but excitement, cheering for our favorite as the two fighters beat each other to the point of exhaustion.

What’s going on here?

It’s very simple, really, and has to do with the difference between social interaction and asocial violence.

The first scenario (the fist fight) is inherently social; the bully, who occupies a position of power high up on the social totem pole, is being challenged. If the kid manages to cow the bully and make him cry, the kid will gain social status while the bully will lose status. Everyone gathers around because it’s important to see who will be victorious–you want to associate yourself with the winner and shun the loser. Such an upset, such a potential drastic change in the playground pecking order, is important to witness. The outcome of this event holds many repercussions for everyone in the social order. If the bully loses, he and his toadies will see their power eroded; kids will be less likely to hand over their lunch money. The kid who bested him will be a hero and automatically rise above the bully in social regard. If the bully prevails, the status quo is not only maintained, but reinforced. Once again, it’s extremely important, as a member enmeshed in this social order, to witness the contest and its outcome.

The second scenario (the school shooting) is inherently asocial, that is, we instantly recognize that it has nothing to with communication and there will be no change in the social order–there will only be mayhem, death, and misery. As such it holds no interest for the witnesses; it holds only terror.

This is what we mean when we speak of a divide between social and asocial violence. They are two very different interactions with very different expected outcomes. And confusing one for the other can get you killed.

Another way of looking at it is that one is a competition while the other is only about destruction. Competitions have rules. Destruction is just about who gets it right first… Happy Hour with all the Happy squeezed out of it!

If we fast-forward the school yard scenario 12 or so years we end up with a bar fight. And what do we see there?

Flaring arms and butting chests, enraged faces, shouted profanity. Throwing things. The biggest guy being ‘held back’ by a much smaller person. Pushing and shoving, trading punches to the head. And, more often than not, grappling and rolling around on the ground.

This is classic inter-male aggression; it’s what you get when you mix alcohol, testosterone, and territorial tendencies in the presence of available females. And it’s the same behavior seen across the animal kingdom. The thrashing, ranting and raving of the silverback gorilla, the head butting of rams, the clashing of male grizzly bears. All of these displays have everything to do with communicating displeasure and the threat of violence, but rarely, if ever, result in killing. The goal is to cow the interloper and run him off your territory, thereby gaining social status.

Every aspect of the display is designed to convince the rival that they should capitulate. The screaming and shouting, the angry faces say “I’m seriously agitated!” The flaring arms and out-thrust chests are to make the person look bigger in an attempt to scare off the rival. Pushing and shoving are for physical intimidation and to show strength and power. Punches to the head are communication as well; interacting with the head and face are an attempt to access and show displeasure with the person who resides in the body. Clinching and rolling around on the ground is a great way to look viciously engaged without hurting or getting hurt.

The bar fight looks and sounds like it does because it is a display, meant to be seen and heard by all those in attendance. The participants are doing these things because no one really wants to seriously injure the other; in fact, if you interrupted them and offered them handguns to shoot at each other they’d probably think you were insane.

Asocial violence is brutally streamlined by comparison.

It starts quietly, suddenly, and unmistakably. It’s knocking a man down and kicking him to death. It’s one person beating another with a tire iron until he stops moving. It’s stabbing someone 14 times. It’s pulling the gun and firing round after round into him until he goes down and then stepping in close to make sure the last two go through the brain.

If you’re a sane, socialized person, those images make you physically ill. That’s because you recognize them for what they are–asocial violence. The breakdown of everything we humans hold dear, the absence of our favorite construct, the very fabric of society itself. It’s an awful place where there’s no such thing as a ‘fair fight’ or honor.

It’s the place where there are no rules and anything goes.

It’s the place were people kill and get killed.

—– end of Part 1 —–

In Part 2… why asocial violence is such a very different beast than we’ve been led to believe, and why you cannot handle it using social tools. In fact, attempting to do so is what makes the average citizen such a brilliant victim.

We threw in 2 new bonuses for those attending any of the new 1-day live training classes.

Seems many missed the announcement.

As you begin to understand just how easy it is for you to injure some thug attacking you, and realize you can get these skills in a day, you probably want to take a closer look at both these now…

First, as soon as you register, we’re mailing you a brand new DVD that shows you a unique system of movement patterns that can effectively retrain your body’s nervous system and let you once again move as freely, easily and pain-free as you did as a kid.

Seriously.

I’d seen this material before and felt it had so much potential to help my students execute their movements better, I invited the creator, Dr. Eric Cobb (his company is Z-Health Performance
Solutions) to demonstrate it to one of my live classes.

We videotaped the entire hour he spoke.

Listen to me. Dr. Cobb’s system works unlike anything you’ve seen.

Hiroshi Allen watched the demonstration that day. Hiroshi was a world-class martial artist who’d retired several years before because injuries kept him from competing at the international level.

After listening to Dr. Cobb and spending 30 minutes with him after class, Hiroshi (in about 3 weeks) UN-retired and when I last talked with him (on a live call from Japan) he was kicking butt on the international scene again. When you talk with him he still can’t believe how he moves now.

TFT Mastery member, Dr. Viatcheslav Popovsky, former Associate Professor at the Lesgaft State Physical Culture Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia, also heard Dr. Cobb and commented:

“…I have seen material similar to this unique and innovative exercise system back in Russia but it was very much mystical Eastern stuff with no one who could explain how or even why it worked. Dr. Cobb not only demonstrates it, he explains the science behind why this works.”

I use parts of the routines on this DVD every day! Others go through the entire sequence daily (it takes 12 minutes, tops).

Follow what’s here and you’ll find yourself moving smoother, easier, even pain-free, very quickly (“Z” works fast because it targets your nervous system, the fastest system in your body).

Here’s the thing: outside of the 23 folks attending that special class, just 6 people have ever seen the DVD. I’ve been holding it for months to go along with a special fitness package but I’ve released 50 copies for those registering for any 1-day.

Sign up and your copy will be in the mail the next day!

The second bonus is equally special. That’s because…

…we’re moving you to the very front of the line for our new “Distance Learning” program coming this fall, buying you a one-month “test-drive” of the system.

Editing is nearly done and the self-protection skills you’ll take away from this new program that let’s you “attend” a live training without having to travel anywhere, will astound you. More on it later.

I’ve done my part with these 2 huge bonuses. The rest is up to you…

1-day special classes.
