The Best Self Defense System Ever Created?!

 



A few weeks ago, someone forwarded me one of Vox Day’s darkstreams.

.
I'll be honest, I didn't really know who he was. After looking at his website and other media, he doesn't seem to really be my cup of tea either, but I still gave him a listen...
.
He was talking about how, when it comes to systems of government — whether democracies, republics, or monarchies to outright communist or fascist systems — what’s far more important than the “system” is the leadership.
.
He says that the right leadership trumps the so-called right “system.”
.
Even a systems like socialism or communism can work to at least some extent with the right leadership, while the perfect utopian democracy-fanboy’s wet dream system will (and often does, historically) crash & burn with the wrong leadership.
.
Personally, I think Vox may have missed the point a bit regarding what a republic (vs. democracy) was supposed to offer...
.
Namely, a way for there to be a representative government of the people, by the people. One that has a means to peacefully transfer leadership, rather than a succession forced through violence.
.
But I can see his point regarding any form of government can be horrific with terrible leadership.
.
The laundry list of evil Old Testament kings alone are proof of that. Under the bad kings, the land & people suffered. Yet, under the right leadership, the land & people flourished.
.
And it's the same with any system of government.
.
The point?
.
There is no perfect system... Especially when it comes to protecting yourself and managing conflict.
.
Never has been one, never will be one.
.
I do believe some approaches are better than others.
.
Some may do 'this' better and 'that' not as well, however, even a 'good system' in the wrong hands will be inefficient or worse.
.
Sometimes, those approaces just turn into something else entirely.
.
I've seen good practitioners use not so good systems and find success. I have also seen great systems, used by a not so great practitioners, constantly fail.
.
The dog in the fight vs. the fight in the dog.
.
In my opinion there needs to be a bit of balance in both the approach and the person.
.
But, that is merely my opinion.
.
There is no perfect defense system — no matter what your favorite guru says.
.
Systems...
.
Some are better than others.
.
And some are better for certain types of situations and objectives than others.
.
But what’s way more important is, who uses that system.
.
How well they use the tools they have developed and what they are really protecting, makes all the difference.
.
So it goes with my own “system” too.
.
A weak leader or an unclear protector will fail with anything I advocate.
.
This is especially true with my PeaceWalker Program.
.
(That will be opening again soon)
.
It’s not for people who are just armchair quarterbacks. It’s not for people who don’t take a “hands on” approach to their personal training. It's not for folks who are are just looking for an endless number of videos that show tricks, techniques & hacks. And it’s sure as hades ain’t for people who think that protecting yourself in real time is only about your punching, kicking and shooting skills.
.
Learning how to protect yourself is going to take a well rounded approach, beginning with your mindset and ethics.
.
That said, the PeaceWalker approach takes some time & patience...
.
It takes a lot of trial & error, too.
.
And it definitely takes strong leadership and discipline on your part.
.
If you don’t have these attributes all you’ll do is waste your money.
.
But, if you are a person who has what it takes, and can connect the dots of this approach beyond just the physicality of protecting yourself, then there's a chance. A chance you'll see how this PeaceWalker Approach can literally change every aspect of your Life for the better!
.
That’s my take on my own invitation to my free home study course Six Day Defense.
.
Is what it is.

Keep going,

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
