Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'defensive fence' discussed in self-defense training?

How important are grappling skills in a real-life self-defense scenario?

Grappling skills are crucial, even in encounters that start standing. Training should include ground fighting and 'dirtying up' the sport by integrating strikes within grappling contexts for realistic defense.

What does 'speed and violence of action' mean in self-defense?

It refers to acting decisively and aggressively when intervening or defending oneself. This rapid, forceful approach can be highly effective in deterring or stopping threats, sometimes more so than technical skill alone.
