If You Only…



If you only train in a Training Hall with pads, then your not preparing for reality. Right now I’m in an office building which sits on a concrete structure with light carpeting. Going to and from my house or other places of business it is almost all concrete, tile, marble indoors, etc. No padded mats in my daily life. The closest thing to it might be some occasional grass which is fairly rare here in Vegas! No, everyday I am surrounded by concrete, rocks, tile, cool crete by the pool, light carpet on top of cement, the occasional wooden floor but no mats. If I only trained on mats, am I preparing myself properly???

Thats a serious question! I really don’t want to do a double leg takedown on concrete. I don’t want to be on my back on rocks. The real world is not very forgiving. Structures, cars, rocks, poles and more all get in the way. If you only train in a Training Hall on mats you are ill prepared!



The World Is Your. Training Hall!!!

IRT Three A’s…



In IRT we talk regularly about the 3 A’s…

Awareness

Avoidance

Action

I have taught Personal Protection, self-defense seminars for years with these components in them.

Broken down in a very basic manner:

Awareness is being alert and understanding who and what is in your surroundings so that you can spot potential threats.

Avoidance is simply not being there or getting out of a situation before it can escalate further.

Action is when you have to defend yourself, your loved ones or another human being.

These are all broken down in an easy to understand manner here and obviously there is a lot more depth that needs to be covered in your daily training.

Bottom line the 3 A’s are a cornerstone of your Personal Protection skill set! Be aware, avoid and take action when necessary.

This Is The Way!!!
