How Effective is your Training? Methods to Enhance Results
How Effective is your Training? When you are training for self defense, which is usually in the form of Waza or techniques what are you covering? Are you focused on an attack and your response to the attack?
Is it repeated over and over again for muscle memory?? Can you pull the technique off with ease for any training partner you have?
Are you "free sparring" thinking, yeah this will work!
How Effective is your Training?
Do you really think a street attack is posturing between 2 people?? Sounds like a competition to me. Do you alternate unarmed vs weapons doing this? There are no rules on the street.
When you train in self defense Waza when do you move? What motion of the attacker is your response based up? How far away are they? How did you decide what the response will be? Did they punch, right or left hand?? What if they kicked? It was predetermined?
How Effective is your Training?
- Techniques ONLY work when the opponent is NOT trying to hit you.
- Free Sparring ONLY works when the opponent is trying to make points, not KILL YOU.
- Kosho ONLY Works when the opponent is TRY to KNOCK YOUR HEAD OFF or KILL YOU.
Recently I had a comment on a Facebook post in regard to a pressure point article I have on my blog. The person making the comment stated that there are issues with getting the result you seek on the street unless you use this "special method" devised by a certain instructor. I will not name names here, because it is disrespectful to do so. However the man making the comment is incorrect.
Why do I saw this? Because while this method is effective in a demonstration or Dojo setting they are not taking account for a moving target, a violent moving opponent in their training. There is nothing new under the sun. But martial artists like to focus on the new shinny object rather than the teachings of old that are proven by history.

How Effective is your Training? What is your training like? I recently had a 1st Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do contact me because he has discovered how little he knows.
And this is wonderful! After almost 40 years I am so excited at what there is left to learn.
No one has all the answers. But a big problem is that their EGO also blurs the questions. Thank you for reading "How Effective is your Training?"
