Self-Defense Success Stories
One thing we’re most known for and have had tremendous success at as a Dojo is our self-defense record in real self-defense scenarios. Since 1992, when we opened the Dojo in Florida, everyone we’ve trained who’s had to defend themselves has been 100% successful. This is a result of the type of training we do and the quality of the instruction.
One thing to keep in mind also is that the people you actually need to defend against are not martial arts experts or trained fighters or some really high-powered individual. They’re dangerous especially to untrained people but they’re NOT particularly skilled or courageous. These are people that are looking to victimize somebody.
They’ve chosen to attack you because they think it’s going to be easy. We always say, “People don’t want to fight you, they want to beat you up.” As soon as they have to fight somebody, as soon as they start taking damage, they tend to cave in, give up, or run away. You’re not fighting Bruce Lee out there.
That being said, yes we have a tremendous record of self-defense success. These skills work. These skills have been passed down for generations, in some cases hundreds and even thousands of years because they work.
When somebody is trained in these types of fighting skills, it makes them a tremendously difficult target. These skills are proven effective in real life. They have worked for all of our students. They will work for you if you need them. But most likely the biggest benefit you’ll get out of it is just the peace of mind of knowing you have these skills if you were to need them.
And one of the interesting things about studying serious martial arts is that when you have these skills and have the confidence and competence in using them, you almost never need to. The people you’re worried about are not the brightest but they are, by necessity, very good about distinguishing between people they can victimize and people they should avoid attacking.
