Keep it simple stupid or K.I.S.S. is a very important concept.  In real time, real world self defense skills you need to keep your movement simple and concise. 

Well what is simple and concise movement?

     What is really interesting to note is that movement in general is simple and concise.  It has to be in most cases because in truth we as humans can only do so much.  We can only move so many ways and in so many directions.  In general we can only move in a limited amount of ways.  So simple movement is simply the core group of movements that are essential to build your foundation.  This foundation then allows you to do more advanced movement if you so choose.  Still though during the advanced movement if your core foundation is weak, well it will not work.

     In Instinctive Response Training it truthfully is a limit less art and yet at it core it is simple.  The core movements in some very select things that we do allow you to do everything else and in the moment these core movement skills are what really counts.  It does not matter whether you are using a tool/weapon, kicking, striking with your hands, trapping or joint manipulation or grappling.  If your movement is simple and true then you will probably be successful.

     Now does that mean you should not try to work more advanced movement?  Absolutely not!  If your core movement is good then practicing the advanced movement will only make your core movement better.  Yet in the moment, core, simple, concise movement that follow’s the K.I.S.S. concept is tried and true! 

Train The Core Simple Movements of Your System And In The Moment They Will Be There For You!
