A Martial Arts Dvd Vs. Self Defense Videos: A Fight To The Death And The Avoidance Of

This world is a dangerous place

This world is a dangerous place. You can never be absolutely certain who among us has moralistic intensions and who has no self-control. When it comes to the latter, physical endangerment can be a direct product of lacking self-defense skills which can immediate put someones lack of self-control, or over-bearing amount of it, in check. The concept of self-defense means just that, acquiring latent skills that only surface should they be provoked.

Martial arts, on the other hand, is for those who seek to acquire active fighting skills to be used in a mutual setting. Martial arts involves needless violence for the sake of sport, but it also involves a consensus between two fully-prepared contenders. It is important to make the distinction between the two, as assault is a crime, but self-defense is a vital response to unwarranted privacy invasion.

Martial arts and the various schools that fall under such a heading teach maneuvers that can be lethal given the right circumstances and lack of supervision. There are certain types taught in such cultures that are designed to kill for being a derivative of war-time fighting tactics; they aim to slaughter an opponent in seconds time and by no means for the fun of it. While still taught for competition settings, death was a common result until padded gloves minimized such messy repercussions. For sport, mixed martial arts can be toned down so that incapacitation is less severe, while immensely more legal, but forceful enough to form a worthy UFC contender.

Such an outlet as UFC is a very popular mainstream venue for martial arts training that doesnt involve a Chuck Norris-esque integration within international karate championships, a la Enter the Dragon or a lifestyle built around soliciting some martial arts dvd late at night. For martial arts and such high-octane activities of over-the-top hormone-driven aggression, a respective gym or class is the best bet; the applied learning is crucial in testing effectiveness and implementing such methods into muscle memory. A physical outlet is a must, and a martial arts dvd likely wont help achieve such an optimal level of fighting skill; that is to say, the household dog is hardly a worthy match to practice with and test effectiveness on.

For self-defense, thats another story. As reflexive ability and counter-attacks form the basis of the whole operation, self-defense videos can be a good aide in learning various moves to disarm a surprised aggressor. As most corrupt individuals in society often dont match their level of dementia with muscle strength and often vie for weaponry, a mechanism designed to rapidly unhand them of a weapon would be a more than effective means of turning the tables.

While self-defense videos teach the methods, they shouldnt be the end of your training; a supplementary course should be taken so as to allow for human test subjects. You really cant be sure of effectiveness if you havent actually put your acquired skill set to the test in a simulated, real-life scenario. Also, the self-defense videos should be watched and modeled after with a second, accompanying person, someone who wont mind being tossed around. Be sure to do this in a padded environment.
