UNARMED FIGHTING: UNIVERSAL BASELINE SELF-DEFENSE
Unarmed combat is a fundamental part of a self-defense system because it provides the essential skills needed when no weapons are available. In real-life confrontations, relying solely on tools or weapons is impractical and sometimes impossible. Effective unarmed techniques teach practitioners how to control, neutralize, or escape threats using their body, allowing for immediate and versatile responses.
Training in unarmed combat improves situational awareness, timing, distance management, and the ability to apply force effectively and responsibly. It also builds confidence and mental resilience, which are crucial during high-stress encounters. Integrating unarmed combat skills with other elements of a self-defense system ensures a comprehensive approach that prepares practitioners for a wide range of scenarios, enhancing overall safety and readiness.
