“These are the secrets that you are going to need when you are confronted by a mean, nasty individual who wants to take your money, your body or your life.”

“Why Is It That A Black Belt With Years Of Training Is Easily Beaten Up In A Real Street Fight By An
Unschooled Street Kid?”

“The outcome of such incidents are not merely determined by the respective fighter’s physical prowess, but rather by his understanding of the psychological and emotional components of the fight. Sixty to seventy percent of how people read your intensions are non-verbal, twenty five percent is tonality of voice and five percent is what you actually say. In this seminar Joe Hubbard will teach you how to deal with, diffuse and counter one of life’s most complex events– a face-to-face encounter with an aggressive and possibly violent person!”

Man, I believe a lot of Black Belts on this forumn are going to be offended by this statement that you have highlighted and bolded in red.

Hey Hardball

Whoa, I surely appreciate what you are saying, but no offence was intended. Just because somebody is a black belt doesn’t necessarily mean they understand how to protect themselves in a violent street assault. The seminar I am teaching is to provide people with best option tactics for the street (Pre, During & Post Contact). There are many who do not train with this in mind and need this material. Remember that a lack of knowledge in this area only breeds anxiety when the sh+t hits the fan. Just a little understanding will provide people with options for their survivability.

Take care out there

I'm confused...
the art of the sucker punch.
see...here's the thing about a sucker punch or any "suprise attack", there is NO defense. WHY? Because you're taken by suprise.

Is this seminar teaching you how to sucker punch somebody? I know where to get a crash course (the local Irish style pub).

The “Sucker Punch” is not necessarily a surprise attack. Technically a surprise attack would fall under the category of an “Ambush.” This definition, although textbook, would be clarified in both military and police arenas.

With that said, many are surprised by a sucker punch because they do not understand the pre-contact points of the violent confrontation. One of the main issues here is that the delivery system is not one of a physical, but rather a biological and/or psychological platform. In other words the victim was “surprised” because in his world a fight begins with two people squaring off and in an abstract way consent to fight each other. Here is where I’ll say, “Welcome to the real world.”

Countering anything generally falls into three categories: early phase, mid phase and late phase. An early phase counter to a sucker punch would be recognising all the cues and going pre-emptive; a mid-phase counter would be intercepting the attack with forward explosive motion and a late phase counter would be you have been hit (possibly knocked down) and learn your best option tactics from there. Many systems do not practice this portion thinking that every tactic will always work. Remember, there are only maybes and maybe nots.

This seminar actually covers quite a lot of verbal defusing, which in my opinion the most important and overlooked lifesaving skill one can possess on the street. It also covers the “post” portion of the fight- you have successfully countered this guy, the police arrive, so what happens next? And lastly, yes I do go through a list of common sucker punch attacks and teach the good guy how to successfully use these tactics against a criminal.

Cheers

Joe
