Why You Don’t Shoot For The Head In Self-Defense
This video explains why aiming for center mass is generally more effective and practical in self-defense situations than attempting headshots. It highlights the trade-off between speed and accuracy, demonstrating through timed drills that achieving headshots quickly is significantly more difficult and less reliable than hitting center mass. The instructor emphasizes that the primary goal in self-defense is to stop the threat as rapidly as possible, and center mass offers a larger, more accessible target that is highly effective at incapacitating an attacker.
