This is something I realized after getting into a violent altercation with a weapon-wielding attacker last year. I thought I was a badass after a couple of years of training and I started intervening with criminals at my workplace. On paper, I was a solid martial artist, progressing very well in my classes, and I thought I was ready for real combat. I could have suffered permanent injuries or even died. While my training did help, and I ended up barely "winning" the fight, I still performed poorly and lacked the experience and pressure testing necessary to be combat effective. I was doing JKD but my old school did very little sparring, and it became apparent to me that it was a more commercialized school that did too much rote drilling, and did not properly prepare me for actual violence. I was still hesitating and making huge mistakes in my reactions. I was one step away from getting my ass handed to me multiple times in these actual violent situations. Now I've moved and go to two excellent schools, one JKD and the other MMA, and we spar, wrestle, and pressure test daily. It has totally changed everything for me but also humbled me and shown me that I'm still a beginner, and I'm not ready to go acting as a vigilante unless absolutely necessary. I will say that I prevented my elderly coworker from getting attacked by a criminal in another incident, as well as stopping multiple other crimes and fights, and I am proud of myself for that. But at the potential cost of my life, hard to say if it was really the best course of action. As you said, though, both of my current schools are a revolving door for most students there, because it can be really rough and exhausting training there. Most people getting into MA are hobbyists at best who don't want to get their ass handed to them 3-5 days a week, they just want to get a black belt and feel good about it. Only a rare few have the minerals to really devote themselves and struggle on through the storm. Thanks again, Guro. You have been putting out such next-level content lately and I am eager to see more from you. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on these things, and I find it just as valuable as your technique videos.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate your honest and transparent view and experience. It is so important for us to share and be honest about our experiences. So many instructors out there are copying and regurgitating the same bad information on combat engagements when they have no experience to be sharing it (teaching). I have become so disenchanted through the years with the martial arts community, because of the flat out unexperienced presuming authoritative nature of that subgroup. I grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Baltimore in the 80's, and saw and experience some of the most violent brutality. Developing street skills was obviously a necessity. Daily street altercations was a reality. I am bring together with this channel a tribe of like minded individuals who are transparent, accountable, and want to get down to the reality of Combat. We can use what ever necessary tools from what ever styles, but not be confide by them. We want to be free from them to alter or modified as needed. To adapt during the most highest level of violence.

@@PINNACLECOMBATARTS I have mad respect for your vision, sir. I hope to someday be able to be at that level, but the beauty of the journey, is that it's such a long road with so many lessons and adventures along the way. It requires a lifetime of devotion and passion to truly reach your potential. It's been crazy hearing your life experiences, and you are a legitimate warrior who has actually experienced the reality of violence in your life. I see that you have a much deeper understanding than the average, and it is refreshing to see a more nuanced view.

I noticed that you didn’t mention seminars as a supplement to the training received in a school.

There are some amazing commercial schools out there with great instructors training effective material. There are also seminars / workshops being presented that are epic instruction and training being presented in commercial schools. I am speaking of the majority of the commercial schools out there that have lost their sense of reality of combat. Their focus is on leads, conversion, and retention that is commercialism in a nutshell. Entertaining the ego. Not pressure testing, not pushing their students to that next level to see what they can do, and empower them to learn to adapt and know what they are capable of through their experience.

Good video. I have trained and taught at a commercial school. There's good and bad but I really grew as an instructor and student when I went to teaching/training out of garage with a group of 2 to 6 students at one time. I also think there's a balance between hardcore/not hardcore training. One of example of this is the Hubud drill from FMA(Filipino Martial Arts). There are students/training partners you can go hard with and there are some that you have to go easy with. The FMA drills allow you work empty hand, or with a blade, or even create distance to draw and deploy a firearm. It does help if the instructor has real experience whether it's working as a bouncer, law enforcement officer, corrections officer, or as Mental Health Associate, etc, etc. Once you've dealt with the kinds of situations you can be a better instructor and student. Some students will thankfully never engage in a life/death situation but the instructor owes to them to prepare them mentally and physically as well as the aftermath (legal ramfications, medical issues). Keep up the great work. I just subscribed to your channel...:)

Why doesn’t commercialism restrict “reality based combat”?

Commercialism is not the blame. It is the teacher. There are release forms for a reason. If the student can’t handle it then the door is there. Too often it is the diplomacy that is the issue. Because we need to pay the bills we can’t offend the student. Lol. That is integrity. That is the problem.
