Breaking Down the Myths of Self-Defence
Dispelling the Illusions: Debunking Self-Defence Myths.
When it comes to self-defence, myths and misconceptions abound. From the belief that physical strength is paramount to the idea that martial arts expertise guarantees safety, these myths can lead to dangerous misunderstandings.
One common myth is that street fighting or previous combat experience equips individuals with effective self-defence skills. However, the reality is that street fights are unpredictable and chaotic, often resulting in injury or legal consequences. True self-defence requires a strategic approach based on practical training and situational awareness.
Similarly, the notion that self-defence is all about overpowering an opponent with brute force overlooks the importance of technique, timing, and leverage. At Streetwise, we emphasize the effectiveness of techniques that leverage an opponent's momentum and vulnerabilities, rather than relying solely on physical strength.
