Are you looking to learn real street self defense, or do you just want to master some cool looking moves? I know this sounds like a strange question, but your answer might make all the difference in whether or not you ever learn what you need to survive a real-world street attack!

You know, almost regularly, I read in the “letters” section of this or that martial art magazine, a question sent in by some confused soul. These letters, while worded differently, pretty much all sound the same. They go something like this:

“My friend has been training in (name conventional martial art of choice) for over (12) years. He’s a (Nth degree) black belt and I thought he was really awesome in the demos and competitions he was in. In fact, he never lost a fight.

But, last week, my friend got jumped by a street fighter and was left beaten and broken in an ally. I don’t understand how this happened. I mean, my friend has been training for over ten years and the guy who attacked him has never had any training. And my friend got the $&!% kicked out of him.

How did this happen?”

And, as much as the editor tries to answer these sincere questions – and I’ve seen answers that range from “…I don’t know what to tell you,” to “…your friend trained for respect and honor, while the street fighter will do whatever it takes to win” – the real problem is never addressed.

And that problem is this:

Most classical, and sport martial art systems do not prepare students for what it’s like inside of a real-world street attack! In fact, many of Today’s students engage in little more than organized aerobics and fitness classes using martial arts movements and skills as the exercises – more than they are learning anything about defending against a brutal attacker who learned his skills on the street – in the “school of hard-knocks!”

If you’re really serious about learning real-world self defense skills, then I suggest that you begin your training in the only place that matters. I recommend doing some research and first learning what the most common attacks are that you’ll have to deal with.

There’s nothing wrong with learning classical martial arts. I teach ninjutsu – the art of Japan’s ancient Ninja families. You don’t get more classical than that.

However, I don’t have my beginner students defending against a so-called “traditional” or “classical” tsuki (pronounced more like: ‘ski). Why? Because 98% of the attackers who might ever throw a punch at you – at least here in the West…will be throwing a right cross!

Does that mean that I don’t teach traditional Ninjutsu?

Absolutely not!

It means that I teach the techniques, tactics, and strategies that have worked for centuries in ways that allow them to work against a 21st century mugger, or bar brawler! Because, unless you’ve got a time machine that I don’t know about, your likelihood of having to defend against someone who’s really devastating with a 16th century punch, is slim to none!

Do I know anyone who can punch like that with power and devastating results? You bet.

But, you know what?

I’m friends will all of them!

Regardless of whether you’re looking for a classical answer to modern self defense or you want to learn a non-martial art defensive system…you still need to begin at the same place. You need to know what you’re greatest threats are – what types of attacks and attack-scenarios you’re most likely to find yourself in.

Then, armed with this critical, life-saving knowledge, find someone who can show you how to defend against and survive these attacks in a way that gives you the greatest advantage and requires the least amount of wear-and-tear on you in the process!
