| A lot of martial arts people don't like to | | | | way possible. Every move and reaction has a |
| hear this but, the real difference between | | | | specific purpose and nothing is left to |
| those who win street fights and those who | | | | chance.And, thus, they will almost always win |
| lose street fights...has less to do with | | | | fights. Even against people with more |
| knowing every self defense skill, technique | | | | martial arts skills, talent and ability.So |
| and "style" in the world...and more to do | | | | let me ask you, what's your game plan if you |
| with having a simple "game plan" in place | | | | get attacked?Do you know what you'd do if you |
| before the fight even begins.Here's what I | | | | were jumped on the street tomorrow?What if |
| mean by that:In sports -- especially | | | | someone pulls a knife on you? What if some |
| professional sports -- games do not get won | | | | doped-up lunatic tries to grab your wife or |
| by "chance." A point scored, a goal made, | | | | girlfriend? What if an entire pack of |
| distance taken, or a finish line crossed, | | | | gang-bangers, full of hate and rage, corners |
| happens by means of a game plan by either a | | | | you in an ally?These thing happen all the |
| player or team.And it's no different when | | | | time to people all over the world.But when |
| you're out on the street fighting for your | | | | you have a game plan for the most common |
| life.Fact is, inexperienced fighters will | | | | scenarios (like the ones above) your chances |
| "just fight" and throw caution to the | | | | of getting away in one piece go up |
| wind...while experienced fighters -- even if | | | | dramatically.On the other hand, if you don't |
| they haven't learned a lot of specific self | | | | have a game plan in place then, no matter how |
| defense "skills" -- will have a game plan | | | | "tough" you are, skilled you are or fast you |
| mapped out before the fight starts.A game | | | | are...you're going to be in some serious |
| plan to win in the quickest, most effective | | | | trouble. |
