XEE: You might bring up that we all train in s/d, even if we don't know it. Most of us, if we have any intelligence wear a seatbelt, We look both ways before crossing the street, When taking s/d lessons what we are doing is,
)1. Getting physical exercise, so we look and feel better,
) 2. Attempting to increase the odds that are life and property will be safe.
On this point I use the example of running in to a 7/11 for a quart of milk, If you leave the keys in the car, the engine running, and the window down, REMEMBER TO BUY MILK AND A GOOD PAIR OF SHOES, There is a good chance you'll be walking home.
But if you turn off the engine, lock the car and take the keys, the car WILL probably be here when you come out,
Now if you do all of the above, plus put "the club" on the steering wheel, and have a men standing by the car with a shotgun, YOUR CAR WILL BE THERE WHEN YOU RETURN, that is called target hardening.
