With the exception of a couple of white belts, most of the time parents complained because we weren't hard enough on their kids. Those white belts with the helicopter moms never made it past the 2-week trial.

Yeah I got chewed out, part of the reason I left.
That’s not really how studies/research works.
You don’t just endlessly ask questions.
You have 1 major question, and you ask that question.
The question of why would need to be a follow on study to find out generally why.

Oh my, the level of expertise being displayed here...definitely a black belt in something, with an ego that big.
Goju, seriously buddy you're going on my mute list. Anybody claiming to be an expert in both martial arts and "research" is not going to be useful long term. You're here to lecture others, not discuss or learn.
Sorry pal, your dime is up with me. Reporting you for trolling didn't work, but this will.

Actually, that is quite precisely how research works.

I must be confused on your position. Are you suggesting people naturally apply too much or just the right amount of aggression in a self-defense situation. As opposed to people typically under responding to violence against them?
There are lots of people who are both.
Jeff Monson (60-26-1) has a Masters in psychology and is licensed as a Child Psychologist.
Tor Troeng (16-7-1) has a Masters in Engineering Physics.
Takeya Mizugaki (21-11-2) has a Masters in Electrical Engineering.
Terry Martin (23-11-0) has a BS in psychology, an MS in Clinical Psychology, and is currently a PhD candidate.
Shane Carwin (12-2-0) has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines - one of THE schools for engineering. And a second one in Environmental Technology.
Rosi Sexton (13-5-0) has a BS and MS in math, and a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science.
One of my friends is an ER Dr and a BJJ 1st Dan.
Another is an MD who, because Medical School isn't difficult enough, did a PhD in Virology at the same time. He's a BB in some form of karate.
I (with zero losses in my professional fight career [and zero wins or ties, either]) have multiple Dan ranks, a BS in Nursing and a Masters in Human Physiology.
MA expertise and research expertise are in no way incompatible.
Neither. I am saying that if you present something as fact, you really ought to be prepared to support it with something other than "because I said so". Opinions are fine, and you are certainly entitled to hold whatever opinions you like. Facts, however, require support.

Careful, Dog.
He claimed to be a SWAT Commander.
That's right up there with Goju Ryu black belt.

Okay. I'm not really interested in proving much here. Sharing my thoughts and opinions, yes for sure. But I have been on here long enough to know people are going believe what they want.
I've read about it, I've experienced it personally, I've seen time and again from cadets, martial arts students, police cadets, victims of crimes. You believe what you want.
If you believe that humans don't have a natural aversion to hurting, damaging and or killing another human in a sudden, unexpected self-defense situation that's up to you.
For those who do believe that to be true, I have a lot to say about how this aversion could be overcome.

That depends on whether you're really an ex SWAT commander.

Not a commander.

For what it’s worth, I believe you. I just don’t think it’s actually a healthy thing for most people to want to overcome. Even cops.

Again, I don't watch your videos. Is it political?

I think to be successful at fighting you have to mentally want to be there. Or at least committed to be there. And most people don't which is why most people suck. And put a half assed effort in to it.
Unless they are winning in which case they will probably be quite willing to hurt people.
And that is the reason for all the eyes closed throwing imaginary tennis balls that generally consists as a street fight.
Jared Traveler

"Committed to being there" is a good way of describing it, verse "want to be there." By the nature of the situation choosing you (self-defense), even trained people don't want to be there in that situation. But they can be committed or even comfortable using appropriate force even if they don't want to be in that situation.
