All over the internet, there is constant buzz about different self
defense systems. Its present in every forum, and every community that
you can picture. People ask themselves... Is it really true? Can I
learn to be a ball-busting super commando in just three short days?
Super mystery special ops guy tells me that I can.
And so every day, countless people fork over upwards to $200 for this
piece of this state-of-the-art top secret info. Every day people get
these courses in the mail and every day they are convinced that they
have what they need. Unfortunately, some of these people find out to-
little-to-late that they need more than just a DVD to teach them
correct self defense.
There is an ongoing debate about the validity of seminars and
fighting instructional DVDs. There are a lot of people out there who
would tell you that in three days you can learn how to defend
yourself effectively on the street, when that cannot be further from
the truth.
Now, dont get me wrong, I am by no means stating the fighting
instructional DVDs and seminars are not excellent tools to use when
learning self defense. In fact, I believe that they are excellent
tools, but they are by no means the whole enchilada. Self Defense
DVDs should be used in conjunction instruction from a teacher from a
real school. Now, there are several reasons why this is important....
