The Four Basic truths of Violent Assault-Part 2

Basic Truth #2 from Sgt Rory Miller's book, Meditations on Violence


states that attacks happen FASTER than more people realize.

Fights start quickly and most often, the one who gets the first shot in wins. It's the old "firstest with the mostest" theory, and it is true. Real violent assaults are quick, ugly and overpowering.

Think back if you have ever taken a "self defense" class. After a brief overview of the "technique," you paired off, and practiced the "technique" on a classmate or friend, and most likely with little or no speed. While this is beneficial for learning a technique, it offers little in the way of preparing someone to address a situation coming out of a supermarket with bags of groceries in their hands, not thinking about that neat wrist lock they learned against a guy who just stands there like George McFly and grabs your wrist then waits for you to systematically dismantle him.

All of a sudden, something happens, and they freeze...

why?

They were not prepared for the SPEED of an attack.

Remember, some thug isn't going to sell tickets to see his rape or mugging. he wants to get in, get out and get away.

Your training had better address that.
