I was recently asked by a black belt martial artist who attended one of our group classes for the first time "What is the best move for self defence?" Immediately I realised I was talking to someone who had no idea about self defence at all, which is not unusual. My reply was "Assuming that you can't avoid it, defuse it or de-escalate it, if the situation has to go physical the best 'move' is the one that does the job and gets your butt home". He did not understand and replied "Yeah, but what is THE BEST move, can you show it to me?" Quite simply, there is no such thing. Anyone peddling the "best self defence move" is generally someone to be ignored. It just does not work that way.I once read a quote from a famous chess champion which brilliantly illustrated our philosophy on this point. He said "The height of strategy is not in doing your best move, it is in doing the worst move for your opponent". This is so true and so relevant.From a purely physical perspective, all self defence is, is tool and target development. We develop the tools, understand how to apply those to their relevant targets in a non-telegraphic way using good economy of motion and then work on how...more
