@Gary Music it does answer my question thanks.
I too have had a rough past unfortunately steeped in violence, we differ in our approach to defence though. As you would know awareness is the number one skill to have, I would use this skill to often attack first. My situation was different to most though as I was surrounded by violent people.

In a course like this (given the time constraints and the variety of experience of the attendees), how do you use/promote "aliveness" or movement at the speed of life? In other words, how do you know that students will be able to translate what they've learned into real life situations?

Thanks,

100% experience Maurice from instructors, myself and students. As far as a one day event it is not presented in that manner, there will be many black belts and also beginners there. I encourage them to continue to train in a legitimate martial art and study seminar mode with me. :)

Shurite Kempo is not a style it is an association of martial artists that have experience in karate, ju-jitsu, boxing and other fighting arts. The Life Protection System seminar uses drills from Shurite Kempo. The seminar also has a class for escapes from the ground using Ju-jitsu. We teach offensive skills to the beginners so they can properly attack each other.

As far a effectiveness Maurice like everything else you would probably need to experience the seminar and decide for yourself. If we are ever in your area please attend and thank you so much for the question.

This is a quick brief on several of the principles used to interpret kata in the Shurite Kempo Technique Association. We teach these concepts in part during the Life Protection System seminars. :) enjoy, empty your cup remember this is just our way not the only way.

Would this technique be as effective if the roles were reversed & it was you grabbing Reneta?

Yes dc it would. It is all technique :) Anything I teach will work, if not I would not teach it. Thank you very much for the question dc.

If "It is all technique," why train to get stronger?

I think Gary was talking in terms of wrist locks, arm bars and other 'controlling' techniques. When talking about reverse punch for example stronger is better, provided you have the skill to effectively transfer added strength into punching power.
Technique also to a large degree incorporates focus or rapid tensation relaxation which are strengthened by using kettlebell bracing technique. Good hand strength is also important when using self defense technique.
Stronger bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscle body armor are essential in self defense (combat) scenarios. As is years of dedicated practice under a great teacher. Stronger is better..
 
I spent nearly 15yrs protecting my employer & doing jobs which required me to have to protect myself & work colleagues. Wrist locks, arm bars & other controlling techniques are fine if you’ve decades of experience in them, but if you are a novice in this area then I believe trying to use them might get you hurt.
I found it far better to disable someone than control them. My circumstances were different than most though.
 
Strength, length of limbs (size) and weight are all important. What you do with them or don't do with them are also important.

Very important is not to be controlled physically - so escaping holds matters.

Stuff with knives and guns is a step up from this and I don't really know what you can do about these besides hopefully running away.

Agreed, same for pressure points etc., they work on some and others not so much. Reverse punch works on everybody. I have decades of experience with arm bars and wrist locks and it does give you a chance to diffuse a situation without hammering them. Some people who attack are mentally unbalanced and in that case I don't want to harm them. Some are drunk and stupid so the same thinking applies (for me). However that all changes with a malicious attack especially with a weapon.

I'm a live and let live guy wishing to harm no person. Being a novice and attempting to control somebody is usually a non-starter, as you have to learn to control your own body first and that takes a long time to learn. That being said situational awareness can be taught to a novice and that is a potent self defense. Some simple defense techniques could be used by a novice on an unsuspecting predator but only as a last resort. Just getting people's faces out of their cell phones is a good start.
 
I live in Australia, otherwise I’d be coming for a look. Maybe you’s could have a working holiday down under.

I appreciate the contribution of your wisdom to these forums on these kind of matters. You've made a lot of points over the years that have stuck with me.
 
Something I like about Karate is that you can do it 100% alone all the time and you don't need any space. One move you can learn to do all by yourself is to hit very hard. Karate focusses on the reverse punch, if you look at the makiwara (punching plank/pad) training they do in traditional Karate (which was considered to be a full1/3rd of training!) If you're someone genuinely afraid of getting beat up and you want to start doing something all on your own start hitting something - start safely, gently, but build up to hitting very hard; harden your fists; inure your spirit to hitting things very hard. You can't learn to or practice grappling by yourself, but you can indeed learn and practice hitting hard. This won't make you a "boxer" who fights tactically, but it will give you a very important skill that could scare someone off or actually hurt them if genuinely attacked. You could also kill someone particularly if you're big, so don't be dumb.

Otherwise, quick physical skills that you can develop on your own to help you are jumping and running. If nothing else, these have a lot to do with just jumping away, not falling down - so keeping balance in a dynamic environment - some cardio-stress training for when your heart starts to beat out of fear, and running off.

If with a trainer - get some boxing gloves on and spar, learn some throws/trips and wrestle around, learn some pins and try to pin/escape and stand up in a ground wrestling situation. People can learn this stuff pretty fast to a basic level.

Definitely the end goal should be to run off.
 
@Kozushi those are kind words, but your appreciation is not deserved.
I’ve done some horrible things in my past acquiring such knowledge, & have along way to go to balance the score.
