tactical self defense

Tony and Sam talk about:

  • How long Tony has been teaching hand-to-hand combatives, how he started in martial arts and what the route was that took him to his no-nonsense, adrenaline-based form of street self-defense today
  • What is the difference between training for street/realistic scenarios and studying a traditional martial art?
  • Can you learn to fight by moving from style to style in your own martial arts training?
  • What is the difference between a “Subject Matter Expert” and a “Substance Matter Expert”
  • What is “experiential learning” and how can it help your training?  How does this relate to a violent encounter?
  • Why is hand-to-hand combat the most important fight situation to train for?  Why is it the one situation you can have control over the outcome the highest percentage of the time?
  • How does hand-to-hand fighting relate to preparedness?
  • How does stress-inoculation and attitude training  relate to who will win a real fight or violent encounter?
  • When does it make sense to protect more than just your life (property, etc) and defend yourself?
