Plan B
Listening to a previous Moment with Maxwell http://johnmaxwellteam.com/plan-b
When studying self defense we are actually talking about plan B.
There are many plan B's out there. We have plan B for everything in life. In fact I find that people that have a plan B are more active and successful in their life than those who don't have a plan B. What's funny is these folks will have many plan B's and often the plan changes. The fact that their plan B changes usually means they are active thinkers in life.
Self defense training is really about taking charge of your plan B. As teachers of martial arts we are constantly trying to find techniques, lessons to learn, new ways of doing things. Basically all of that is making a plan B. Self defense is not only physical but mental, emotional, spiritual and financial.
