Check this video out – these two guys are alone on the subway. One “punk” looking kid is walking around acting strange with a bottle in his hand. Instantly, my radar has gone up. “Why is he holding the bottle like that?”
“Where is his shirt?”
“Why does he look so nervous”
and lastly “Why did I sit down?”

Personally, sitting down would have never been an option. As far as I’m concerned that opened up the door. Look at the way he is holding the bottle, it is being held like a weapon!

The victim’s instinct must be telling him that something is off – why isn’t he listening to it? I feel bad for the dude, but people need to listen to their instinct. You know his radar is going off, but he choose to sit down, almost as a way to relax himself? Wrong move.

This is a fairly popular video that some of you may have seen. I’m not sure of the exact story, but some “Chav” (slang for a lower class person in the UK) is bothering and getting in the face of another dude. The guy keeps his cool so well and finally after it escalates takes out the Chav.

I don’t know if I would have enough “discipline” to hang in there and take that or even if I would WANT to hang in there and take that. The dude is in his face, yelling, getting aggressive, probably spitting… I wouldn’t want that. As far as I’m concerned you are threatening me.

What would do you do in this situation? Comment below!

Training for realism in martial arts or self-defense training is vitally important. It’s not only important to train hard and “go after” your techniques, but also to test yourself.

Fighting is Real

Martial arts training is teaching yourself how to fight, right? That is the most bare-bones honest statement you can say about martial arts training. Sure there are other benefits, but that’s the real reason or the ultimate goal behind it. Training to gain the ability to fight and / or defend yourself. In order to fully achieve that with your techniques, you have to train that way with your techniques. And if you’re one of those people who tell me that “Our techniques are too dangerous to be trained at full-speed” – then either your techniques are shit and probably would never be actually used in real combat or you are just delusional.
