Welcome to Episode #96 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Decision and Action.” It’s common in self-defense training to focus on the speed of your punches and kicks… but how fast can you make a decision and take action? Like it or not, no matter how good you are at performing your martial arts techniques, they won’t help if you freeze up or hesitate under pressure. That’s why we must train to pull the trigger and make things happen as much as possible. Join me for a story about taking action and, more importantly, some tips on how to maximize your safety and success in self-defense and life. In short–reflect, recreate, and rehearse!
