The importance of Fitness for Self Defense
Being in shape is a MUST for self defense. Without getting technical at all, think of the last time you ran up a flight of stairs, play wrestled with your child or significant other, ran in from the car to the house, boxed up a heavy box and moved it into another room...etc.
If any of those smallest of labors were huge for you, then it is a MUST you get into shape. Think of the slight "panting" you have done while finishing up those small things...can you imagine trying to fight of someone who is relentless in his task on killing or raping you? Get in shape! Turn the fight to them and make them gasp for air as you are tearing their lungs out!
I do not sugar coat anything when it comes to the idea of self defense training. If you are apprehensive about working out and unsure about taking up something new...bullshit , you are scared and lack confidence. If you are overweight just a bit and want to put it off until you get all your ducks in a row...bullshit, you are fat and lazy. You have kids, don't have a sitter, work 3 jobs, don't have money, are too old...bullshit, you are not creative and resourceful.
I have to be unforgiving as a trainer...and you do as well. You have to see things as they are and not what you THINK makes them. If I am not unforgiving on yourself and you are not unforgiving on your self...rest assured, your attacker will absolutely be unforgiving on you. Be just as unforgiving back!

Skill is something than can be acquired through training and practice but you have to be physically fit, healthy, in order to have enough strength to execute the proper strategy. Invest in a healthy, strong, and fit body and exert an effort to shape up, and see how it can affect your whole personality.
