Intro- The Psychology of Self Defense
It has long been my belief that self-defense should be a prerequisite
at some point in every person’s life, preferably in their
early years. It should be as normal as going to math class or learning
to use a cell phone. Do you remember back when cell phones
were as big as a lunch box, and only a few people had them? Now
it’s hard to imagine life without them. That’s where we need to be
as a society in regards to self-defense.
Throughout this book we’ll discuss topics that most people
ignore, forget, or overcomplicate. The object is not to put you in
fear or stir up paranoia, but to educate you and create much-needed
awareness and understanding.
I start with the basics, for beginners and intermediate students
of self-defense. Later I also devote several chapters to experienced
martial artists and others interested in martial philosophy.
This isn’t a picture book about how to kick and punch. It’s more
a manual that seeks to sharpen the mind. This information can be
applied by people of all ages, from all walks of life and all fitness
levels.
You may read something here that shakes you up, frightens you,
or even offends you. If that happens, please remember the goal: a
no-ego, highly informative approach to give you, the reader, a look deep inside the psychology of self-defense and the creation of
personal safety awareness and understanding.
Let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Chris Sutton, and
I’m a professional in the self-defense and martial arts industry. I’ve
also worked extensively as a corrections officer, a law enforcement
officer, and a sheriff’s deputy for city and county agencies . During
my law enforcement years, I also served as a boot camp drill
instructor for high-priority juvenile offenders.
From an early age, I’ve devoted a lot of time and effort to training
in and instructing a wide variety of martial arts and combative
self-defense programs, earning numerous black belts. I’ve dedicated
my life to creating a greater awareness of self-defense training
for everyone.
Drawing on both my diverse martial arts background and my
practical experience in related fields, I developed the C.O.B.R.A.
Self-Defense System , upon which this book is based. This nationally
licensed self-defense program was designed to be highly effective,
easy to learn, and very realistic.
Think of it this way: When you’re hungry, you want food.
Nothing else will satisfy you. Likewise, when you’re in a serious
situation, you need life-saving self-defense and awareness skills.
Humor, a college degree, good looks – these won’t cut it . “When
self-defense is a must” TM – nothing else will do. Think about this.
