Now listen this is very crucial for all the information you know

and all your hard work and training. You need to purchase a

martial artshelmet, and 16 oz open hand mma gloves, find a

park with a training partner and get out there and practice

fighting through sparring exercises!

You need to feel the stress and pressure of engaging an

opponent, feel the pain of being hit, feel the stress of having

fists and kicks flying at you, I even recommend sparring with

no gloves or helmets once you and your partner are good.

You may have all my self defense and fighting tips memorized

and I commend you for it, but if you don’t have any experience

of being hit, timing, speed, range of motion, and actual fighting

experience you could end up dead after a street attack.

You need to be able to be calm and relaxed while you are

having fists hitting your wrists, punching your face, being

sense of calm is through experience only.

Continue studying and training in your martial art and do sparring

aggression. It will enhance your performance at minimum
