Best Self Defense

The best self defense systems aren't defined by the techniques they teach. Anyone can teach you to hit and kick. The most important aspect of self defense training is learning how to avoid injury! The first few seconds of a confrontation are the most critical, and usually determine the outcome. If you can avoid getting hurt in those first few pivotal seconds of an attack, you'll have a better than average chance of getting away unharmed.

Best Self Defense

Most martial arts or self defense programs will teach you to stand in place and try to STOP the attack as it comes in. They'll show you things like upward blocks, or cross blocks, or downward blocks, or leg blocks, or even trying to catch a hand with a knife that's coming in at your head.

All that stuff looks good in the movies, but here in the real world, it simply won't work. Beginners would never be able to pull off techniques or blocks like that because it takes years of practice and training to be able to do correctly. The best self defense techniques are those that are easy to learn and can work for you right now.

Best Self Defense : A Moving Target is Hard to Hit

The best self defense techniques have nothing to do with trying to BLOCK the attack from hitting you. If someone were to throw a rock at you, would you be better off trying to knock it down with your arms, or simply step out of the way? Obviously, you'll be much better off by moving out of the way so you don't get hit. A moving target is hard to hit. So, by moving the target, your body, you don't get hit in the attack and you don't get hurt. It's that simple.

With an attacker in front of you, the attack will be coming directly into your body. This is what is known as the "line of attack." As discussed, the best self defense maneuver is the most natural and most effective means of avoiding injury in this initial attack which is to move your entire body out of the line of attack. The basic maneuver used to do that is called a slide step. It is important to understand that you don't go directly left or right with the slide step, but at a forty-five degree angle.

So, from where you're standing, to move left, the left foot moves forward at an angle, and you slide off the line of attack so it goes right by. In order to slide to the right, the right foot moves in the forty-five degree angle and takes you off the line of attack in the other direction. It doesn't matter whether you slide left, or slide to the right. You don't get hit, and that's all that matters.
