COMBAT BEYOND THE TECHNIQUES

• Anyone who has been learning any martial or has gone through any self defence workshop has been made to go through techniques
• Techniques such as
• What to do when someone points a knife at you
• What to do when someone grabs you from the back
• What to do when someone points a pistol at you.
• What to do when someone pushes you.
• ....many more what to do's

• Sounds very nice and easy, but things don't work out always as we want it
• What if there are 12 people grabbing you
• What if the person decides to shoot you instead of just keeping the gun on your back.
• What if there are 5 people deciding to get cozy with you all at once.
• What if you have somebody with you who has not learnt the tecniques you learnt at the martial arts school and he or she becomes your weakness.

I dont mean to write off techniques, or I am not saying there is anything wrong with them, what I mean to say that there is something beyond the techniques which makes the technique work. And recognizing that is wisdom .... more common sense actually.

To go beyond something we need to go through it, therefore to go beyond the techniques we need to go through it, we need to learn it....
