The Difference Between Self-Defence & Martial Arts For many years I have been involved with the delivery of self-defence training and all of this started a long time ago when I was a young black-belt running ju-jitsu clubs, when I was asked by the local police to deliver some self-defence classes for local groups and businesses.

“If some cannot see, hear, breathe or walk, then they cannot fight.”
Mark Dawes
As strong and invincible as people like to think they are we are in fact quite vulnerable.
For example did you know that only 8.5 lbs of pressure could break any bone in the human body and it takes less than 4.5 lbs of pressure (2 small bags of sugar) to kill another human being?
And according to research the average person can punch with a force of approximately 240 – 350 pounds per square inch.
Therefore, it doesn’t actually matter how big or strong someone looks, if you have the ability to apply force in the right place them you have the ability to stop them dead in their tracks.
The aim of any self defence technique should be to achieve one or more of the following:
1: To make the aggressor lose their concentration. If they stop thinking about you they will stop hurting you.
2: Interfere with the physical integrity/ structure of the aggressors body.
3: Interfere with the central nervous system.
4: Destroy or interfere with circulation.
5: Interfere or destroy their ability to breathe.

You Must Take Extra Precautions Where Someone is More Susceptible To Injury
Following on from the video I did yesterday (‘What Do I Do As A Trainer If I Believe a Learner is Not Fit Enough To Undertake the Training?’) I’ve been sent some information by a good friend of mine who is also a very competent and highly qualified Health & Safety Professional that adds additional value to what I put out yesterday.
What would you do as a trainer if a learner turned up on your physical intervention training day and they disclosed information to you about themselves that led you to believe that they weren’t fit enough to do the training or capable enough to do the training but you were being told that you had to train them anyway?
A guy called Graham Leigh who runs a self-defence and martial arts organisation has sent in a great question, which is basically, if I teach someone self-defence and then they use a skill I’ve taught them, which although is deemed to be reasonable in the circumstances, ends up seriously injuring their attacker, can the assailant sue me as the instructor?
