Self Defense Programs – What Is the Best Self Defense Program for Dealing with Extreme Survival Situations?
If self defense programs are what you’re searching for, then I suggest you stop looking and go buy a .357 Magnum instead. This handgun can blow away any filthy street thugs who dare get in your way!
Alright, alright…I’m joking. Please don’t be mad 
Actually I just found out that the late Bruce Lee – who is one of my favorite action stars by the way- had carried the aforementioned handgun when he became famous.
I’m not sure whether this is true but interesting info nonetheless. Now, as far as self defense programs go, I recommend courses that teach you how to fight and defend using moves that are applicable in real life.
What I mean is using street fighting moves to help you kick serious butt in the heat of battle! When you’re out there facing large, burly guys who wish to mug or simply curb stomp your head repeatedly, then you definitely got to use no-holds-barred street fighting techniques to take them down.
Forget about the Taekwondo or Karate drills you did with your dojo mates every weekend. You’ll get your butt handed to you before delivering the first strike. Fact of the matter is street self defense moves are much more practical in real world survival scenarios because they are simple, direct and relatively easy to master.
And most importantly…
They don’t follow the same rules as you normally would when training in martial art schools. Look, most martial art schools tend to be sports oriented. You train/spar for points and rules are implemented accordingly (no groin strike, blow to the face, etc) thus preventing you from truly learning how to defend and also how to fight.
Now, self defense programs that focus on street fighting techniques will teach you how to use the appropriate moves for different survival scenarios. Whether you’re facing a bulky street thug, a weapon wielding thug or even multiple thugs simultaneously, there are all sorts of simple to perform “real world” street self defense moves to help you emerge victorious while that tattooed street thug lie on the pavement in excruciating pain.
Now when it comes to learning street self defense techniques, I recommend joining a class that teaches reality based self defense (RBSD). Another great method is to download step-by-step street self defense manuals that are packed with photos. Don’t get the text-intensive ones because they are hard to follow. The former is much better and will get you up to speed as quickly as possible.
Here’s a really good street fighting/defense course that is packed with precise instructions and detailed photos. There are over 100 easy to follow photos in it. Most of the moves are highly devastating and easy to master. Easily one of the best downloadable self defense programs out there. Click on this link to check it out.
