Training mental resilience in self defence.

[Holmejr]

Simply train well in the art you love. Eventually your body and mind synch with the art.

…”is all I want to say to you…” Why are you singing a The Police song?

That’s do do do da da da.

It was sung very badly.

The only evil thing in this photo is the wood chip wallpaper in the background!

Anyway…back to the topic of the thread….

I am waging a one man war against chipboard and plywood. It's a form of violence inflicted on the proletariat

Meh. I agree with the training but not the coach's explanation or mindset.

Even the training is kind of redundant. I mean how much time do you need to spend refining the finer arts of hitting someone you are on top of?

Honestly you want to be spending time under that onslaught learning to get out.

Yelling and screaming tires you out fast. So does continued emotional upheaval. Once you’re tired from either, you usually don’t even have the gas to run away any more.

If you’re holding down someone who’s going crazy trying to get out of your hold or going crazy trying to get up, if you really want to shake them up, as soon as they start to tire, whisper to them “Oh, you’re tired now?”

They’ll usually go nuts for twenty seconds in a last gasp. Then they’ll give up from exhaustion.

At least that’s been my experience.

There’s been some loud crazy guys who scared me. But it’s usually the quiet ones who watch from a well chosen seat that gave me the chills.
