\"default\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you want to be prepared to defend yourself realistically on the street, you are going to have to prepare\u00a0RIGHT NOW in a controlled training environment, how you can both GUARD against getting knocked out and at the same time, take a PUNCH\u00a0and keep fighting. Regardless, if you are talking about knife, stick or gun, Hardcore Combatives or BJJ Grappling, at the root of all of it is the word FIGHT…and out there on the street it could be a\u00a0FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE!<\/h3>\n

The “Default” Position<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the fundamentals of fighting, regardless of style, is knowing how to DEFEND YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES. Remembering the awesome Boxing movie “Million Dollar Baby”;<\/em> this was the fundamental that Clint Eastwood time and time again tried to drill into Maggie, and in the end, it was failing to heed this fundamental that got her.<\/h3>\n

The CO has to understand, Murphy’s Law is in effect 24\/7\/365 on the street, punches will be flying and can come out of nowhere, from one or multiple opponents. Even with the right guard technique, no matter which one you prescribe,\u00a0the inevitability\u00a0of getting hit is there, the Default Position just guarantees a degree of “damage control” to keep you in the fight.<\/h3>\n
