Do you have to know martial arts to teach self defense? The short answer is no, but here's why:
- Self defense as domain of martial arts
- Brief history of self defense & martial arts: it’s about art – skill, training, technique, creativity, you have to learn the rules in order to break them, you can build, etc. It takes a long time to become a good martial artist. But it doesn’t take a long time to learn some basic self defense.
- And here’s why: you’re already defending yourself, every day.
- Let’s de-couple self defense from martial arts.
- Fitness world & martial arts world
- Really good fitness trainers vs trainers who simply push you hard
The measure of a teacher is the ability to teach students. But can you teach people how to teach? Now that’s the real question…
If we can successfully teach self defense to over 3,000 women, we can absolutely teach fitness pros to teach it!
This episode references the previous episode 104. You can listen to it here: Interview with Coach Skella
