Perfect intention is more important than perfect technique. Joel’s self-defense program differs from others in that it is conceptually based and behaviorally rooted, unlike most martial arts which are purely technique based. The truth is, knowing how to punch, kick, throw, and joint lock an attacker is not the most important aspect of self-defense. Understanding how to use body language and choice speech to either avoid a physical altercation altogether or gain a tactical advantage before an attack begins is more important.

To successfully survive a violent attack, you already have a set of basic weapons and instincts at your disposal. You don’t need to learn complicated martial art sequences. You don’t need to know how to jump, spin, and do flying kicks.

In order for a self-defense system to enhance your chances at surviving a real fight, an attempted rape, mugging, or murder, it is essential for the system to be reality-based.

Joel’s reality-based system is 3 dimensional. It focuses on how to deal with the emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of violence in terms of how real fights start, why they start, and what kind of attacks are most common and how to verbally de-escalate a would be attacker.

A real-world self-defense system will not rely on techniques that will require fine or complex motor skills that will diminish while under attack. A reality-based system that utilizes gross motor skills such as grabbing, striking, clawing, ripping, and tearing is much more effective in a high stress situation. It is even enhanced due to mother nature’s hard wiring of the survival mechanism that is inside of all of us.

For real self-defense, the last thing one needs is a system that takes years to learn and a lifetime to perfect. If it looks like a dance, if it is “flashy” and “artsy”, it will probably get your behind kicked up between your shoulders in the real world. What you need are techniques that are simple to learn, can easily be called upon under high stress situations and have a strong probability of inflicting damage on an attacker. You need a system in which you will become a student of reality instead of a master of fantasy.
