Review of the week:
Listener’s Question:
My ultimate goal that I’ve had since I was 14 (in 1991) or even younger is to put together the worlds best civilian self-defense martial art curriculum of: principles, techniques, tactics and strategies! By best I mean; effective, viable, reasonable, ethical, scalable, non-mystical, non-pseudo-science, non-traditional. In accordance with local laws.
I started formally training in martial arts in 1991 and have since graded in 6 different martial arts along with exhaustive researching and studying of many martial arts and self-defence/self-protection (including TFT) techniques, tactics, strategies, principles, philosophies, culture, geography.
I’ve been working at a long-term care facility for 4 years and I have encountered many agitated and aggressive residents with dementia. I have witnessed staff reacting inappropriately and/or ineffectively to such incidents, therefore I decided to write two books titled “Self-defence for caregivers: Level one” and “Self-defence for caregivers: Level two” published in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
However I have not reached black belt in any martial art therefore I do not have the qualifications that the majority of the public looks for to teach martial arts/self-defence.
I also am broke and in debt and my income is below average.
Thank you for considering this message!
