Successful Training In Self Defence And Martial Arts
People study and research self defence for a variety of reasons. Ultimately, your success in learning self defence is down to how well you implement a training plan. Simply reading a self defence book or watching a DVD will not improve your ability or skill. You would not read a book on exercise and expect to get fit without taking any action. Similarly with self defence, ensuring you do the proper training and have an action plan will lead to greater success.
So what steps can we take to ensure success ? Outlined below are some ideas for you to think about:
1) Know what you want to achieve.
The first step is to know exactly what it is you ultimately want to achieve and why. Are you training in Self Defence to gain confidence, improve your fitness or help deal with the fear of a violent confrontation ? Is you aim to lose weight, gain a black belt or simply to be better prepared ?
Get very clear on your reasons for studying and training in self defence.
2) Work towards what you want to achieve persistently.
Knowledge is nothing without action especially where self defence is concerned. Knowing how to perform the perfect chest press will not make you stronger without actually doing it. Reading the latest diet book will not make you thin unless you take action.
It is often said that martial arts and self defence is a journey which starts with a single step. It may take a single step to start, but you need to keep walking to complete that journey!
So think on how you can incorporate your self defence training into everyday life and what consistent action you will take to achieve your aims.
3) Measure your results.
You have decided on what you would like to achieve, you are taking persistent action towards that. How do you tell if what you are doing is accomplishing anything ?
Many people blindly follow a particular training method without knowing if they are getting the results they desire. This can lead to boredom, frustration and even burnout. Whatever your desired outcome, have a way of measuring the results you want. It is best to be able to write this down. For example, if your aim was to achieve a black belt you could measure
1000
this grading by grading. Writing down what you want to achieve and how you will measure it is a great way of staying focused on the outcome.
4) Change what does not work.
If you find that you are working towards what you want to achieve, but are not getting the results you want, change your approach. Martial arts and self defence is all about being adaptive to the situation and this applies to your training as well.
However, this does not mean giving up on a particular program or method at the first hurdle. Be aware that there are times when your training can plateau. Simply vary your approach while still making it measureable.
These ideas are especially useful if you are training using our Black Belt Self Defence Program. Our instructors and support staff are here to offer continued advice, support and encouragement throughout the program.
At Practical Self Protection we are committed to, and focus on, reality based self defence training. We focus on state of the art techniques and training methods that give you immediate results.
If you are considering learning self defence why settle for anything other than the best. Here at Practical Self Protection you will train in a proven and tested system that is effective, realistic and relevant to the world we live in.
Take your training to the next level and keep your training real.
