Enter The Dragon!

August 19, 1973, Dad took my brother and I to see Bruce Lee's final movie. Keith and I came out of that theater kicking, spinning, jumping, punching...we were so powerful! So skilled! So ready to take on any altercation that could present itself. Would be attackers? Watch out! You better think twice before you try to jump on us!

Reality check...

We had no clue what we were doing!! We were just trying to mimic what we had just seen on the big screen. If we had been confronted with an assault, we most likely would have failed miserably.

Unfortunately, this is where a lot of people are in their self-defense skills. They THINK they are prepared...they BELIEVE they are equipped...they are only fooling themselves.

Self-defense is not what you see on the screen. It is not buying and carrying pepper spray, brass knuckles, a knife, laser, CCW, etc.

Self-defense MUST be trained. Training Saves Lives.
You don't learn CPR by watching a video on it...you train.
You don't wait until a fire breaks out and then attempt to get children and teachers out of the school building...you train through fire drills beforehand. Training Saves Lives.

Imagine having to be rushed to the ER and when you arrive, the ER Team have had zero training. This team has just learned their skills by watching movies, TV shows, reading books. What a fiasco...what a circus!

We are not taught self-defense in school. There is not a requirement for this. If we are going to prepare ourselves and be ready for a possible criminal attack, we MUST train ahead of time. Training after such an event is too late.

"10 Considerations and Questions to Ask When Choosing a Self-Defense Program"

***See last four days' posts for questions 1-9***

How to Choose the Right Self-Defense Program, You Want to Get it Right the First Time.

10. Where do you and your instructors get on-going training? When you get a certification to teach self-defense, you are letting everyone know that you offer realistic self-defense training that could save someone’s life in the real world. It is critical for a self-defense professional to keep their training up to date. Physical techniques are a perishable skill and knowledge of how criminals operate is always changing. Manuals, videos, consultations and in person physical training are all great ways to stay up to speed on reality self-defense training if you are an instructor. Keep This in Mind.
One of the most important, if not the most important skill a person could posses is the ability to stay safe and stop a violent threat. This has nothing to do with a sport, winning a trophy or title belt..Watching YouTube videos or adopting ideas from hearsay.
Example:
“I will put my keys between my fingers and hit him in the eye” just won’t cut it. Cell phone safety Apps, pepper spray and many other commonly used crutches are used so people can avoid committing to physically training.

Your safety and safety of your family is the most important thing in the world.

Ask the hard questions...do your research and be sure that the self-defense company you pick for your training is legitimately qualified to teach reality self-defense.

COBRA-Defense was developed from REAL Law Enforcement training and field experience. COBRA is a GLOBAL Self-Defense brand with locations in over 200 Cities and over 30 Countries worldwide.

8. How long has the program been around? Anyone can open a business. Staying in business is where the real work begins. A long-established business usually (but not always) indicates that the company is successful, professional, and offering a great product. You do not want them to go out of business before your membership runs out.

9. If you are a company/business/corporation and are looking for a self-defense trainer, ask how many companies has the program trained? Both large and small. A professional and legitimate self-defense company who has specific training for specific businesses should be able to provide an extensive client list

6. Can I verify with the affiliate company you are with that you are in good standing? This is if they are part of and receive their training from an affiliate organization. If they are a stand-alone system, ask if they have company or client references that you can verify. Social proof is very important, especially when it involves training that needs to work in real life.

7. Is this program a brand or a single location? This is important especially when it comes to creating and developing a consistent, organized and professional end product. Brands of all types are widely preferred by the market over a small mom-and-pop type of service. The market desires a refined and proven product and that’s what a brand name brings. They also feel more comfortable spending money with an established brand that they can do research on. Examples: Amazon, Starbucks & NFL.

COBRA Self-Defense Systems was created and introduced publicly in 2002. Combining experience in law enforcement, close quarter combat techniques, martial arts & the psychology of criminal intent the Combat Objective Battle Ready Applications, or C.O.B.R.A.™, self-defense system is a 10 Week Academy designed to be highly effective in real world situations where your survival is on the line.

Ex-street cop, sheriff and corrections officer, Joe Lewis-blackbelt, school owner, author and C.O.B.R.A.™ founder Chris Sutton has written the book (literally) on the pyschology of self-defense. This is not simply a collection of "cool moves," but a complete system covering both the mental and physical aspects of self-defense with a unique emphasis on scenario training.

4. Does the program and do the instructors operate from a single and organized source or is everyone flying solo? It’s not difficult to obtain a certification in something, however after that, what is in place that maintains quality control, consistency, and professionalism? Checks and balances are very important.

5. Does the program have specific training for what they are advertising that they teach? If your child needs training to deal with a bully, the program you pick should have legitimate experience and training in this area. This should be across that board. Whether it’s a corporation or training teens, ask how and what are your qualifications to teach that market
