Science of Behavioral and Tactical Self Defense

We Need Solutions to the Right Problem

Many of the self-defense tactics used in martial arts address the fighting skills of one martialist of a particular method of fighting Vs. the skills of another martialist of the same or similar method.  The problems of defense and offense of which these fighters are highly skilled are not the problems of a violent criminal crime or assault.  It is no wonder how the incidents of  failures in self-defense using martial arts are well documented.  This high statistic of failure has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the offensive damage that can be inflicted by a well conditioned martial artist.  Rather, failure has to do with being highly skilled at solutions to the wrong problem.  The problem of surviving a violent criminal assault are specific to the nature of a particular crime and must be trained accordingly. What are your thoughts?

A study of criminology; criminal behavior, crimes, crime statistics, and crime case studies is an essential component of problem based learning and preparing anyone for dealing with self defense and self preservation in highly chaotic and full throttle violence.
