Military Self Defense - Problems and Answers
Military self defense tactics are renowned as effective methods of protecting yourself from any attacker. But are they the right self defense tactics for you? Before you select military self defense classes, you should be aware of a few potential problems with that style of instruction.
The Assumption of Fitness
Obviously, military self defense tactics are made for military people -- people who have made it through boot camp and are near the peak of their physical fitness. First off, it's obviously not true of everyone who might seek self defense instruction, but more importantly, it also leads to maneuvers and tactics that rely on strength and speed. If you don't have the agility and the power that the most basic recruit has trained into, the military self defense style might not be right for you.
Soldiers have Weapons
Weapons end fights, period, and the military understands that better than anyone. While the military has profound unarmed self defense tactics, by far the bulk of the military's wartime training is focused on successful use of weapons. If you're not the kind of person who regularly carries an asp or a bayonet, you might find that the unarmed part of the military self defense syllabus isn't as comprehensive as you would like. There are a lot of disarmament techniques that can get you an enemy's weapon, but the weapon isn't the threat -- the person trying to kill you is the threat.
Fake Credentials
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who claim to have military credentials and simply do not. There's even a blog dedicated entirely to exposing these frauds, but how often do people who are in need (like someone desperately trying to learn self defense) double-check things like credentials? They don't, and so they get scammed into buying some crap "handbook" chalked together in some nerd's basement from YouTube videos.
So, skip out on military self defense classes, right? Wrong. Just because there are a few obvious flaws doesn't make it an automatic skip. For all that, military self defense is excellent if you're the kind of person who isn't afraid of putting your size, speed, and power on the line when the time comes.
Before you pick a school, however, you need to do your research. At the minimum, type your would-be instructor's name into Google along with with words like "fake" "fraud" or "scam'. Keep in mind that there will always be upset people who didn't like this or that about a class, but if you find a preponderance of evidence that says the dude's a con man, don't buy his stuff.
Once you've satisfied yourself that your instructor is legit, and you understand that your personal fitness and power are going to be what saves you from your erstwhile attackers, you need to concentrate your efforts on the self defense tactics that are going to be most relevant to you. If you can afford to buy and carry around an asp or another weapon that your instructor/book/DVD features, focus on those techniques. If you know that your enemies are prone to carrying guns, focus on close-range disarms and long-range evasive maneuvering.
Regardless of the choices you make, understand that not every self defense technique or self defense school is useful for everyone. But if you've got the right body and the right mindset for military self defense tactics, they can be the ones that are the best for you.
