"You don’t become a master by learning 4000 things...you become a master by learning how to do a dozen of the right things 4000 times."
-Trence Storm

Find several combinations that are comfortable for you and work them so they become automatic, then respond to the openings that are created from there. If you try

Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right.

- Henry Ford

When training you should always think positively... stopping in the middle of a defense and talking about what you did wrong will more often than not cause you to do it wrong again and again. If you make a mistake stop, visualize the correct

Concentrate while being distracted.

On the street you may be approached by someone asking directions, a light for a cigarette, or even the time. This may be someone trying to distract you while a second person picks your pocket, steals your bag, or maybe even grabs you from behind. If you decide to talk to this person position yourself

Success is a journey, not a destination.

Just learning defense techniques well enough to pass the belt test should not be enough. It takes time and practice to get to the point where you can respond effectively to a surprise attack without having to think. Pushing yourself over and over again in drills and realising that you can react

What you see reflects your thinking.

When an unusual situation arises, it is easy to get tunnel vision and focus on one person or one thing that you see happening. Try not to panic, look around, and be aware of everything that is going on around you. What caught your attention first may only be a distraction from the real threat that

Dwell not on the past which cannot be changed, but on the future which is still in your power.

When training think only the proper way to strike or perform a defense technique. If you keep thinking about what you did wrong you will most likely continue to make the same mistake again and again. If you are having a problem stop for a minute

"Revenge is the weak pleasure of a narrow mind."

Being prepared to defend yourself is good, being prepared to talk your way out of a situation and walk away is always better. If you are attacked defend and counter in the most ferocious manner possible. When you feel you can get away run, because to continuing to beat on someone

The holidays are upon us. It is a time of celebration, so celebrate, be happy, and be safe. There are a lot of muggings, car jacking, and home invasions during the holidays.

Here are a few tips to remember:

Train hard but train well. It is better to slow down and get the punch, kick, or defense technique correct than to just go as hard as you can all the time. If an instructor corrects you, slow down and concentrate on improving your movements for a minute or two before you go full speed again. Muscle memory means doing something without thinking about
