There are no absolutes…

I’m surprised when I hear someone talking about violence and infering that there is a best way or only way of doing something. My experience in real world violence, through work and a few non-work related incidents is that there are simply so many factors that can come into play. There simply isn’t one right way to do something. Instead there are certainly at times some better ways to accomplish a goal but not one definitive way! There are simply too many variables at play in a non-training environment. Too many possibilities! So, when you here someone say this is it, or the best or only way to do something. Understand that they may just have a really limited view and just may have only begun to scratch the surface in that context. That doesn’t mean they don’t have something of value to say, but they may just not have an understanding of all the different things that could happen in a Personal Protection situation.

There Are No Absolutes! Nobody has all of the answers.

See You On The Mats!!!
