Street Fighting Moves – Interviews David D’Antonio – The 4 Secrets to Avoid Freezing When You Fight

Charles – Our topic for this interview is an answer to a very common problem with those who have not yet been properly trained to handle the stress of real street confrontation. David will give us today 4 ways to avoid freezing when you fight. How are you doing today, David?
David – I am doing wonderful, Charles. How are you?
Charles – I’m doing just good. Alright, let’s get right to it so you can help us out on this subject because part of that fight or fight reaction can be also the freeze reaction when the adrenaline kicks in and overloads and overwhelms a person that has not been prepared for it properly. What are 4 ways to avoid freezing when you fight?
David – Well, Charles –
#1 Is Remembering You Have The Right To Defend Yourself – A lot of people fail to realize that they actually have a right to defend themselves and a right to go home safe everyday.
#2 Is You Need To Fight As Though Your Life Depends On It – Keep in mind that you have a family at home who loves you, treasures you and cares about you. And they rely on you. So, if you don’t fight as though your life depends on it, you life may be taken.
#3 Is Don’t Be Afraid Of Hurting Your Opponent – A lot of times we will freeze during a fight because we think that there’s something morally wrong with putting out someone’s eye or striking someone in the throat, or slamming a fist through a shin or someone’s groin. Nothing could be farthest from the truth. You’re allowed to hurt someone when you fight them. That is what the fight is all about.
#4 Is To Use Minimal Techniques With Maximum Efficiency And Knowing Your Vital Target Areas – If you have a rounded, solid know-how of the vital target areas, you’re going to be less likely to freeze during a fight; you’ll be more likely to fight during a fight.
Charles – Ah, excellent. Excellent. Well, there you have it, the 4 secrets to avoid freezing when you fight. Thank you so much again, David.
David – Thank you very much. As always “be safe and keep it real”.
