Today: Violence is a part of our world… good, bad, or indifferent, it is there.  If you are forced to fight, how much violence should you use?

The obvious answer is enough.  But what is enough?  Have you studied it?  Have you really thought about it?  Have you checked your thoughts with someone that understands violence?  Where did you get your ideas of violence?

Unfortunately, most of us get our ideas about violence from TV shows and movies… and that is completely wrong.

Now social media would be a better place to get an idea about what true violence looks like from people that do violence for a living.  And I don’t mean law enforcement or the military.  They have checks on how much violence they are allowed to do. 

Some criminals use violence every day.  They have learned it the hard way.  And they practice all the time.  These people are experts in the use of violence that most of us will never understand.  They do it as a practical matter of purpose.  It’s how they get places in life.

We need to understand true violence so that we can use it if we have to. 

Whenever possible getaway, period.  Do not do violence if there is another way out.

Once the violence is started, go first, use speed, surprise, and violence of action to win.  Use complete and overwhelming violence to win.

Rethink where you get information about violence from:

  • Bad guys understand and do violence all the time
  • Police are not a good place to look to learn violence
  • Easiest place to commit violence against another person is when they are on the ground
  • Best option, go first
  • Check out real sources of videos to see actual violence:      
  • Fight like your life depends on it
  • Get out of dojo thinking

Think like a violent street fighter

  • Any and all means necessary
  • Keep going until they are done
  • Take advantage of everything
  • Surprise, speed, violence of action

Watch this guy get surprised:

If you are going to use force, use overwhelming force to win.
