As a Self-Defense Coach, I am ALWAYS asked "the" question.
Did you ever have to use your training in real life?
I have been asked that question at least 300 times in my life, and I always answer the same way.
" I have an opportunity to use my training EVERY SINGLE DAY!"
Now, I know that when someone asks me that question they are expecting an exciting life or death fighting story about how I defended my life against 25 ninjas with swords. ( O.K maybe that was a little exaggerated)
Although, I have plenty of stories about the times that I have had to use my physical training skills to keep myself and loved ones safe, my training has benefitted me tremendously in other ways as well.
If I could sum up the most powerful benefit of my training it would be CONFIDENCE!
The confidence that you develop through this type of training is priceless.
This blog would be 500 pages long if I wrote down every single way that the confidence that I received through training positively impacted my life.
Here a few MAJOR examples:
- Talked my way out of dozens of conflicts because of the confidence I showed while communicating.
- When I NEEDED to, I was able to quickly & effectively respond to physical threats!
- Delivered hundreds of speeches,seminars and workshops in front of huge crowds.
- I was teaching multiple adult classes by the time I was 13.
- Started my own Self-Defense Company at a young age.
- My favorite: I NEVER FOLDED IN TO PEER PRESSURE! And believe me there was PLENTY around.
The true POWER of confidence is impossible to accurately calculate. Every time that I meet someone new or engage in conversation or even the way that I walk to my car are all done with the expression of my confidence that I developed through training.
I often say that my programs are "Life Saving" as well as "Life Enhancing" because my primary objective is to abolish the "Victim Mindset" in all of my students.
Everyone DESERVES to live a life of SAFETY! Confidence is EVERYTHING!! What do you see when you look in the mirror?
Committed to your Safety, Health & Personal Growth,
