Self Defense By LawDog - 10-03-2009 07:45 AM

=========

First and most important the following is my own point of view on this subject and not an attack on any system or person.
There are many martial arts systems that teach a self defense type of a system and to me there is nothing wrong with this.
I tend to look at "Self Defense" as a negitive. One often hears about a fighter who defended himself well during a fight. To me this means that the fighter was beaten badly, he might have held out but, most of important, was not in control of the situation.
The same holds true with military units. During a battle many units have been known to have defended themselves very well. To me this means that they did not or could not control of the situation very well.
I believe that a good "defense" is a very strong offense. One should take control of any situation and not let your opponent control it. This does not mean that you will always win but it is a needed step on a path to a win or surviving. In many cases this can depend on your ability to take control of the situation.

On multiple attacks, if you sit back and defend they will not have any offensive pressure but on them so now they can work together as an offensive multi front.
This is a mind set I know but it is a students training that will develop a "defensive" or "offensive" mind set.
State of mind = your actions.
