The Techniques illustrated in this book are but a set of tools, what one will get from them another will not and it is up to you on how they are perceived and used. I like to compare it to an artist with a blank canvas, ready with paint and brushes. Sometimes the artist may not know exactly what he may create, but he or she is ready with that brush loaded with paint. You don’t have to be familiar with martial arts to follow these self-protection tools. Yet, any experienced martial artist will benefit from the directness and simplicity of Streetwise Basics.
It’s a hostile world out there and I firmly believe in protecting one self when you or a loved one are thread upon. I believe in a proactive approach when faced with a hostile situation, and I also believe in humility when it comes to using this art. I do not advocate violence with violence… but sometimes it is necessary. Don’t misunderstand in any way I don’t believe in fighting just for the sake of fighting, that just doesn’t make sense. Unfortunately, there are people like that out there… I should know I’ve had my share of them. Senseless altercations are most common. They happen abruptly, randomly and sometimes without provocation. It can happen anywhere such as your child’s day care center, the grocery store, a parking lot, a movie theatre, at the car wash, etc… you get the idea. Altercations are a process. I break down stages of altercation to help better understand the process of self-protection such as, the initial verbal confrontation, the dominant effect, the emotional and the physical aspects of an attack. By no means are there set patterns, just a series of motions randomly accumulated. Understanding and recognizing these elements will aid you in your survival should you be involved in a situation that requires self-protection measures. Its Streetwise basics concept that economy of motion, simplicity of technique, power and commitment in technique along with cognitive thinking take precedence over outdated traditional self-defense. I believe if a person could retain at least one Streetwise Basic technique that works for them in a situation, I’ve done my job and feel good about it. You just never know it just might save a life one day… possibly yours, I know it saved mine. It’s important that you practice these techniques as if it were a real combat situation, because how you practice and train is most likely how one would react to the real thing.
