You Can't Prepare for Everything

When it comes to being prepared for real life and death struggles on the street or the battlefield you cannot have the false idea that you can be prepared for anything. You can only do your best.

Maybe I can give you some idea of how to get the odds more in your favor. First let's look at some forms of preparation which will give you some of the pieces. No one has all of the pieces.

Standard traditional as well as sport-based martial arts in general leave much to be desired when it comes to preparation for bloody chaos. The basic exercises such as forms training and some extended sparring will tone the body and give a person some endurance. It will also make a person more healthy so that they might heal better if wounded or seriously injured. A healthy person will fare better than an unhealthy one in âEUR¨general. But as professor Brad Steiner (President International Combat Martial Arts Federation) says:

"A choice must be made. If a method can be practiced full force in a competitive venue, then obviously it lacks crippling, maiming, and killing skills - all of which, whether it is popular to say so or not, must be taught and embedded in the student's psyche and nervous system. If a system is fully combat worthy, then any competition or full contact training in the skills (except against dummies and other insentient training aids) is nothing short of insanity."

Basic strikes and throws may come in handy if the right amount of luck and proper circumstances occur during a truly frenzied life and death altercation with one or more armed or unarmed serious attackers who are bent on your destruction.

No One Is Invincible

Even the vaunted heroes of the ring can fall to a determined attacker.

Take, for instance, a true champion of ultimate style fighting and cage rage events Lee Murray from England. Here is a superb example of power, technique, and natural ability when it comes to competitive fighting in the ring. Here is a man who has demonstrated real courage on many occasions. Lee Murray showed many times what it takes to be a winner. His punching power and grappling ability have made him a top competitor and world level champion as I see it.

Recently, according to the London Evening Standard, Lee Murray fell to a knife attack after exiting a famous London night club. As far as I know he was hospitalized and put into a drug induced coma to allow the surgeons to better deal with his life threatening injuries.

I do not know all of the details of the altercation and can only say that anything can happen in the street. Even a man in his class cannot be prepared for everything.

I pray for his full recovery.

Even a highly trained Israeli soldier, who is a personal friend, who has had extensive training in various Israeli military hand to hand fighting styles who also has real experience in battle can fall in the street to a vicious attack from a few young teens. These young teens were no innocents. They were involved in drug activity in Tel Aviv and my friend crossed their path at the wrong time. He was stabbed 19 times before help arrived. Luckily for him the help came in seconds in the form of a cab driver who was trained and had experience decades earlier in real life and death fights. Along with the cab driver some members of the crowd outside of the night club stepped in to help.

He is now back on full duty. He has a new world view when it comes to who is the enemy and where violence can occur. He also knows that even years of training in "realistic" scenario fighting did not prepare him for the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing situation.

Is there anything that will prepare one for all situations? NO. You can only do the best that you can.

What CAN You Do?

Above I showed that traditional martial arts training alone is not the answer. I even showed how a ring fighting champion and even a battle hardened warrior could fall to bad circumstances.

I could also enumerate many successful situations where a trained fighter prevailed in a life and death altercation.

The winners had some things in common.

One was that they were aware of their situation before it came down. Even seconds of preparation will often avail a highly trained combat oriented fighter.

These are the problems. The answers are too lengthy to address in this one article but will be addressed in two subsequent articles "Getting Your Mind Right" Parts 1 and 2 by my student Ari Kandel, 3rd degree.

Ex-cop, master handgun instructor and former forensic homicide detective John Perkins found at a young age that all real violence is unchoreographed chaos and that sport-based or patterned self defense could get you killed. In 1979 he created Guided Chaos, an adaptive, free-form internal art that relies on principles of motion and not techniques. Perkins has taught members of Marine Combat units, Marine Scout Sniper units, military counter drug forces, FBI, NYPD and security personnel for domestic and foreign dignitaries. He has trained in Native American fighting principles since the age of 5 and engaged in unsanctioned pre-UFC era pit-fighting. Perkins is also co-author of the best selling self defense book Attack Proof: The Ultimate Guide to Personal Protection.

"Pit Bull" Attorneys And Family Law

Many people hold the unfortunate belief that when they become involved in a lawsuit – including divorce - they need to find a lawyer who is a "fighter," or "pit bull" (i.e., like the dog bred specifically to fight other dogs). Since legal disputes are adversarial by nature, the logic seems to be that an aggressive attorney will more successfully advance one's interests in court.  By logical extension, a lawyer who is not ruthlessly aggressive would be a suboptimal choice.

However, I would like to point out that strong, proactive, and even aggressive representation does not necessarily equate with the "pit bull model." Attorneys classified as pit bulls often tend to be belligerent, argumentative, and eager to fight. What the public does not realize is that highly contentious individuals (attorneys included) usually place self-interest above all else. It should be obvious that always looking for more points to fight over, and even taking unreasonable positions on behalf of their clients, generates significantly more money in fees for the lawyer who charges on an hourly basis. Moreover, such attorneys tend to derive
a great deal of pleasure from the fight in and of itself.   In fact, many attorneys enter the field precisely because they enjoy argumentative confrontation, and tend to be disagreeable and difficult people in general.

These attorneys thus tend to delay the resolution of a case, file motions that make no sense from a cost/benefit analysis, and often cause the other side to need to file motions, or incur significant legal fees and costs because their client is refusing to disclose required information and/or is hiding marital assets. (In my many years in the field, I have noticed that difficult and combative clients tend to retain difficult, combative counsel, while reasonable and cooperative clients usually retain more reasonable representation.)

"Pit bull attorneys" are not concerned with resolving a case in a fair and equitable manner, despite the fact that the family law court is considered a court of equity, or fairness. Instead, these attorneys take advantage of the flaws and imperfections in the legal system to make the case for the other side so costly that they either cannot or will not continue to fight for that to which they are otherwise legally entitled. Such attorneys are focused on "winning," no matter what the cost, irrespective of right and wrong, and in total disregard of equity.  

In truth, the very concept of "winning" in court is somewhat subject to interpretation. For example, if a particular attorney "wins" a client $30,000 in a case that more qualified attorneys would have potentially "won" $300,000, is that considered a "win?" The attorney did "win"- insofar as the opposing side ultimately lost the case. However, wasn't a more appropriate resolution lost? Then again, what if an aggressive attorney causes both sides to incur legal fees in the sum of $30,000, and yet ultimately "wins" only $5,000 for his/her client. Should that be considered a "win?" And, if so, for whom?

From my perspective, neither of these situations can be considered to be a true victory for the client. While ruthless and combative attorneys, and other such people, would argue that a "win" is a "win," this point of view assumes that the only thing that really matters is that the other side is defeated. Unless I am missing something, the true "winner" in such situations is the attorney. While some may argue that the client "won" his or her debate as a matter of principle, and that the toll it may take on both sides is irrelevant, I contend that the cost (both financial and emotional) of fighting with this notion as a guiding force is often just not worth it. If clients realized the extreme emotional and financial toll in advance of pursuing such principles, many would not do so. This is especially true if the vindictive emotions that fuel such legal wrangling could otherwise be diffused through the use of psychologists and other such mental health care professionals.

I have noted that disagreeable, contentious clients tend to seek out similarly oriented attorneys. Interestingly enough, I've seen that such individuals tend to relate well with each other-at least at first. Meanwhile, a client who tends to be more cooperative might retain an attorney who is more antagonistic toward others and vice versa, but such relationships do not tend to last. Ultimately, the difficult client and difficult attorney will not be able to treat each other any differently than they treat anyone else. Furthermore, the more reasonable client very often parts way with his or her overly aggressive attorney before long. These sorts of mismatching are why clients might go through several different attorneys in course of a single particular legal proceeding.

I have previously written about the supreme importance of trust, mutual respect, and good communication between a client and his or her attorney in order to have both a successful working relationship, and a positive outcome in legal proceedings. Here again, I must point out that "pit bull attorneys" and their clients can rarely, if ever, maintain these crucial aspects of the relationship.

Will a Mosh Pit Break Out at a Foo Fighters concert at the Tabernacle in Atlanta?

will it? im thinking about going... what about girls flashing or drugs?

Foo Fighters isn't really moshing music so i wouldn't except any mosh pits, but i can't guarantee anything.

As for girls flashing and drugs, well that could happen at any concert, but that shouldn't keep you from going to the concert.

Just because a mosh pit breaks out doesn't mean that you have to jump in. You could just go away from it if one did break out, which is again highly unlikely.
