The Overlooked Art of Escaping - What Martial Artists Don’t Know
By Practical Kata Bunkai on
https://iainabernethy.com/ In this video I give an overview of “The Overlooked Art of Escaping”. While many martial artists will give lip service to escaping in a self-defence context, it is often reduced to the physical act of “running away” with the strategies, tactics and techniques associated with an effective escape not being understood. To make things worse, these things are also never trained or practised. If we are claiming to have an effective self-protection component to what we practise and teach, then escape needs to be fully understood and integrated into training.
In the video, I cover:
Common misunderstandings around escape
Why escaping is a good idea
The things that need to be achieved in order to ensure an effective escape
