Ten Commandments of Self-Defense

  • Never under estimate your opponent – always assume they are dangerous.
  • Avoid being fancy, use simple, easy and effective techniques.
  • Be sure you are always well balanced when delivering a technique.
  • Learn to react instantly, be quick and accurate – do not hesitate.
  • After attacking or counter-attacking, never lose sight of your adversary, and be alert for a continuation of their attack – avoid being caught by surprise.
  • Always deliver your blows to your opponent’s weaker areas.
  • Always “YELL” when delivering a technique. This will momentarily distract and possibly alarm your attacker.
  • Whenever possible, use any available object as a weapon to help subdue your opponent.
  • Always fight aggressively – use all your strength.
  • When defending yourself, always fight as if your life depended on it. There is no telling what an attacker’s intentions may be.
