Take a look at this picture. You have people who vary in gender, age, body type, levels of intoxication, and they are all reacting exactly the same. I'm sure this is not "karate school night" and all these people are highly trained martial artist. Quite the opposite, these are people reacting instinctively to danger, flinching. Take this primal reaction and train it to transition into an aggressive counter action, the "Spear," and you have your initial counter measure against an attack. Now follow up with knees, then a move to off balance your attacker, transition to a take down, then finish your objective (incapacitate, detain, or eliminate). There you have the four pieces of our basic skill set to defend against most attacks. Remember the body is designed to protect itself, physically and instinctively. So why not build upon that to make your self defense skills be as natural as pulling your hand off of a hot stove?
Be Safe, Train Hard
