When it comes down to being in a bad situation where your life is on the line, your brain becomes your best friend. There is a way to unlock the inner power of your mind and let out the savage beast. Martial arts training is more than just knowing a bunch of techniques, it's about opening your mind with a new perspective.
You've heard the old saying, that martial arts is 95% in your mind and 5% technique. At least that's what I was told when I first started out learning how to fight. What you are not being told today is that in the world of fighting, things are not what they seem to be. Learning to free your mind is the best martial art for self-defense.
Whatever your martial arts background may be, you and I both know that there is always room for improvement. Improving your perspective of how you see your attacker, will greatly increase your chances for survival. One day a person tried to attack me from behind and I could feel his presence, so I quickly turned grabbing his elbow, then throwing him into a stack of pallets. How was I able to do this you may ask?
Through developing total body awareness, I was able to thwart the attack and quickly gain the advantage through being relaxed. A Tai Chi' master taught me over 13 years ago how to relax my mind and body at will. At one point in my martial arts training, I quickly realized that my mind was my greatest weapon. The great Bruce Lee knew the importance of a relaxed body and he found that he was a much better fighter when his body was not so rigid, but instead was more like water or soft cotton.
In the world of street fighting, one must be able to adapt quickly to the chaos and flow with it. In a street fight if you are all caught up in focusing on techniques, you may end up getting killed. You must develop sensitivity where you can feel your attacker and as Bruce Lee once said, "don't think, feel, it's about emotional content." I've been able to win a street fight, not because of some fancy techniques, but because of being self-aware.
Even the Russian martial arts stresses the importance of relaxation. For example, when a person comes up from behind you and tries to give you a headlock, it is wise to immediately relax and move downward. If you allow yourself to become hard and rigid, your opponent will be able to maneuver you into a compromising position. True self defense training starts in developing the correct mindset and then it is possible to handle whatever situation may come your way.
