Outline:

How we train and teach should be done to the amount of time, effort, and money that is to be allocated to the task.

4 Kinds of self defense people:

  • Lifers – People that make it their life’s work to be the best they can be at their station in life.
  • Professionals – Those people that treat it as part of their jogs. They schedule time like it’s a part time job and work on it every week, month, and year of their lives.
  • Hobbyist – People that work on it from time to time because it’s fun.
  • Dabbler – Buy a gun and take a class and then go to the range for fun and don’t worry about it.

Different Ways to Train People

  • All want to have fun, but in different Ways
    • Lifers – Want a challenge to make it fun (something so challenging, it maybe impossible).
    • Professionals – want to make a real-world association
    • Hobbyist – Want to see improvement to have fun
    • Dabbler – Wants to accomplish something to have fun
  • Course Creation
    • Lifer – As hard as it can be… with the impossible in there just to see their limits
    • Professional – Everything challenging but doable
    • Hobbyist – Culmination at the end… crawl, walk, run method
    • Dabbler – Each drill being fun and easily accomplished
  • Skills Desired
    • Lifer – Best of the Best… Won’t except anything but shooting with the best and pushing themselves and everyone around them
    • Professional – Be able to see that they can handle anything in their world
    • Hobbyist – Enough skill to know that they can take on almost anything
    • Dabbler – False skills that says they can do what needs to be done
