Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)
Finding and using simple, relativity easy and uncomplicated methods for protection and defense is easy, gathering up the appropriate data and experience to get there is hard. Many seek out that easy, one-stop shopping and singularly answer to the question of violence while the answer to reaching that level is a bit more complicated and complex.
Let me clarify if I can. Everyone is subject to the human condition and that condition is to find the easiest and simplest and fastest answer to all of life's complex and complicated situations and issues. You probably already know that simple, easy and fast answers don't exist and yet I feel they do. What I find to be the difficult, complicated-complex and slow truth is this, "To reach that level of enlightened skills, abilities and understanding requires us to seek out, gather in, process through analysis and synthesis and then gain as much experience(s) as humanly possible to reach that simple, easy, and fast skill level.”
Our minds are a complex and complicated machine, if you will allow some latitude. You can imagine its capacity and capability, it is one of the many organs in our body that works non-stop twenty-four seven from the moment of conception to the day the ashes are scattered. It does, as you probably already know, some amazing feats and triggers some awesome skills, skills developed and created/manufactured through our constant exposure to things internally and externally as data, experience and other forms of input the brain processes to create concepts that are built on the fly to handle all situations and issues.
That is a huge effort that a person is able to perceive from the old adage, "learn and create and develop skills through 'blood, sweat, and tears'."
The more you sweat, bleed and shed tears in your training, the more simple, easy and fast you will apply skills in moments of great need. You can perceive, see and feel, how that can make for a long and arduous process of a proverbial forging of skills adequate to self-protection. Can you imagine the process of forging the very steel that is used to create the greatest swords known to us, the long process and delicate effort of the master forger who folds, pounds, heats to varying high temps, etc., to then cool, polish and sharpen the edge that creates a simple, easy and fast blade that cuts like no other? Yet, people try to resist this necessity to find the shortest, quickest and easiest path to some mythical one-stop singular answer to self-defense.
It isn't just time, the qualities and ingredients of that long arduous journey matter as well adding to the complicated complexities of gaining easy, fast and effective skills and methodologies necessary to handle aggression and violence. How you go about building that data-base of knowledge, understanding and experiences matters because it is those very concepts the triggers involved in aggressive and violent behavior that manufacture the easy, fast and simplistic methods that get the job done...stop the damage; stop the attack; gain safety and security!
