When in doubt....Improvise!

I often get asked why I allow students to question the steps used to get out of certain holds rather than just excepting the instruction and moving on. The people asking this question typically have been in various other Martial Art schools and are taught not to question the Instructor as it is a sign of dis-respect. I simply state that not all people are built the same way and one maneuver may work for one and not the other. Therefore working out other options will better the possibility of survival and over all outcome of a situation. Most important though is to remember that there is always more than one way to get out of a hold and when it comes down to it, you want your reactions to be quick and swift without having to think about a long drawn out step by step method.

At Dynamic Self Defense, improvising is a key part of our training process as you progress through the ranks. This is not to say we ourselves do not have a set curriculum, but this is used as a foundation and not a means of "the only way" things should be done. We urge students to ask questions, get involved with training discussions, and work out optional tactics above the curriculum requirement. Stop by or call today and see for yourself why Dynamic Self Defense IS the most modern and effective style of Self Defense on the market today!
