Whatever you do, you want to achieve something. You have a target. We talk about martial arts and self-defense. If you are in a fighting competition, your target is to win the match and get the prize. You want to be the champion.
To participate in the fighting competition, you have to follow some rules to get in. When you fight, you see there are some rules you have to follow. You cannot hit certain parts of the body. It is designed based on the fighting competition. In some fighting competitions, there is a points system. If you kick to the head, you will get certain points. If you can defend the opponent's strike, you will get certain points.
To win the fight, you have to have higher points than your opponent. So your target is to get more points. And you will try to hit there where you will get a higher point. There are referees and judges. They will observe your every movement. If you win the match and be the champion, you will achieve your target.
Have you ever thought of the target when you fight for self-defense?
Your main target is to defend yourself. To achieve that, you can set your strategy and different targets based on the situation. So how can you beat a big and strong guy in a fight? When you fight for self-defense, your target is not beating the guy and being a champion. You will strike and fight in order to defend yourself. If you can just strike the attacker, get out of there, you will achieve the target. By the way, there is no prize for being a winner in a fight on the street.
Let me give you another example. If some people attack you and try to kidnap you, your target should be preventing them from kidnapping you. So your strike and defense - everything will focus on saving yourself from being kidnapped. If they are able to kidnap you, that could be a serious problem. You do not know what they are going to do next. You will lose control.
You have to intercept the intention of the attackers in order to defend yourself.
When you learn martial arts, you will be more prepared to face a situation like this. When you are prepared and have confidence, that reflects on your movement and actions. It has a huge impact on your lifestyle. You will find a new version of you.
