What Is Comprehensive Personal Protection?

I’ve recently had a Gestalt like epiphany. Most mar­tial artists have no idea what I’m talk­ing about when I say “Real­ity Based Self Defense” or “Com­plete Mar­tial Arts.” I base this new found under­stand­ing on numer­ous emails from my read­ers. I decided to make a list of the major com­po­nents of what a truly com­pre­hen­sive big pic­ture real life per­sonal pro­tec­tion pro­gram must include.

Here it is…

Com­bat Sur­vival Psy­chol­ogy, Legal and Finan­cial Sur­vival, Ver­bal Attack Sur­vival, Unarmed Stand Up and Ground Sur­vival, Stand Up and Ground Use of and Defense Against IMPACT Pro­tec­tion Tools, Stand Up and Ground Use of and Defense Against EDGED Pro­tec­tion Tools, Stand Up and Ground Use of and Defense Against FLEXIBLE Pro­tec­tion Tools, Stand Up and Ground Use of and Defense Against PROJECTILE Pro­tec­tion Tools, Mul­ti­ple Attacker Sur­vival, Home Inva­sion Sur­vival, Car Jack­ing Sur­vival, Work Place Secu­rity, Rape Pre­ven­tion, Kid­nap­ping Pre­ven­tion, Bul­ly­ing Pre­ven­tion, Mil­i­tary Com­bat­ives, LEO Com­bat­ives, Bouncer/Door Man Sur­vival, First Respon­dent Med­i­cine, Urban, Sub­ur­ban and Wilder­ness Sur­vival, Flex­i­bil­ity, Strength and Car­dio Train­ing, Nutri­tional Med­i­cine and Energy Medicine.

If you’re inter­ested in RBSD and you are not train­ing in each of these areas you are sell­ing your­self short or even worse, you are let­ting your instruc­tor sell you short. Embrace the future and give your­self per­mis­sion to be the most pow­er­ful coura­geous war­rior that you were born to be. Don’t set­tle for any­thing less than GREATNESS.

    All good points, and I’d love to learn all of these things…but where, or what par­tic­u­lar dis­ci­pline would encom­pass all or most of these aspects? Krav Maga? Suggestions?
