Strength Training for Self Defense I get a lot of questions about training methods for self defense. Someday I will film a video on the various types of training I do and recommend to my students. While this Newsletter is NOT focused on strength training, I would like to spend just a couple of minutes on the subject. Strength training is one part of what I believe are the three major areas of vital exercise. They being some sort of cardio training, flexibility and strength training. These are issues somewhat related to self defense but more importantly for good health and longevity. Let's face it. Having good strength, flexibility and endurance would all be valuable to have in a real life self defense situation. During periods of high stress and strong anaerobic muscular use (which is precisely what would happen in a self defense situation) it is very easy to become winded very quickly, sometimes within just seconds. If you have ever watched a street fight that didn't end after 60 seconds or so you know exactly what I mean. Strength training has many benefits. The problem for many of us is that we do not have the time to invest in weight or gym equipment training. I know this is the case in my own situation. I have found a solution however and not to bore those not interested I have set up a web page here:
