In Real Combat, Martial Arts Can Be Worthless
Self Defense

Ever since the Bruce Lee movies of the '70s, martial arts have enjoyed an immense rise in popularity. Even before then, the martial sciences were considered a useful tool in self defense. However, as time changes, so does combat. Martial arts have to meet this demand.

To say that the '50s and '60s were all Ward and June Cleaver is deceptive. Gang violence was prevalent then. However, unless you encountered the Mafia, you didn't usually have to worry about having a gun pointed at you, much less the kinds of guns that the street gangs of today carry. Make no mistake, many inner city streets are almost as much of a war zone as any given town in the Middle East.

To survive these mean streets, you have to be ready for combat. It's not enough to have a gun yourself. Sometimes your assailant is on you before you can reach your gun. You have to be able to physically take them down.

The problem is that most schools of martial arts don't prepare you for real world combat. Kung Fu is too florid. Tae Kwon Do spends too much time breaking boards. Karate doesn't help much against an armed opponent. In nearly all cases, they drill it into your head that you fight "honorably."

What kind of honor is there when you've been beaten, robbed or raped because you couldn't bring yourself to attack what you instinctively know will drop your attacker in an instant? In the heat of battle, do you really have time to think of "no hits below the belt?" Bruce Lee didn't hesitate to use groin shots, should you?

The guy yelling "Give me your wallet!" isn't thinking of how to mug you honorably. Why should you defend yourself at an extra disadvantage? Taking the high road can get you killed.
