Self Defence and Tactical training.

#SelfDefence or #TacticalTraining.......???

Since I am a person with tactical training and close protection knowledge (TANGO SIX O'CLOCK LLP), I suggest people around me opt for it and 8 out of 10 people get confused between self defence and tactical training. So here I am to throw some light on the basic differences between the both.

Both self-defense and tactical training are valuable and effective, but they serve slightly different purposes and are often complementary.

Self-Defense Training focuses on equipping individuals with physical techniques to protect themselves in threatening situations. This can include learning martial arts, understanding basic striking and grappling techniques, and practicing scenarios to build confidence and muscle memory. Self-defense training emphasizes personal safety and immediate responses to physical threats.

Tactical Training, on the other hand, encompasses a broader set of skills related to strategic thinking and preparedness in potentially dangerous environments. Tactical training often includes situational awareness, threat assessment, use of cover and concealment, and decision-making under pressure. It's about being proactive and strategic to avoid or manage dangerous situations effectively.

In terms of effectiveness, both types of training are important and can enhance overall personal safety and preparedness:

Self-Defense Training is critical for immediate protection in physical confrontations. It empowers individuals to defend themselves using physical techniques and can be crucial in close-quarters encounters.

Tactical Training provides a more comprehensive approach, focusing not only on physical skills but also on mental readiness and strategic thinking. It helps individuals anticipate and avoid threats, as well as respond effectively if confronted with danger.

Ultimately, the effectiveness of each type of training depends on your specific goals and needs. For many people, a combination of both self-defense and tactical training can provide a well-rounded approach to personal safety. Self-defense skills are like tools in your toolbox, while tactical training enhances your ability to use those tools wisely and proactively in a variety of situations.

Reactivation: Traveling with the Rhythm of Nature

Most people spend their lives running away from the elements. We crank up the heater in winter, hide in the air conditioning in summer, and carry umbrellas to shield us from the rain. We are taught that comfort is the goal. But I’ve learned a secret: resilience doesn't live in the comfort zone. Instead of resisting the seasons, I’ve started "traveling with them." Here is how I use nature’s extremes and a radical quarterly reset to keep my mind sharp and my "internal glass" from breaking. The "Hot Glass" Theory Think about a hot glass. If you drop a single bead of ice-cold water on it, what happens? The glass shatters. Our brains are the same. When we live in a state of constant, fragile "comfort," we become brittle. A sudden deadline, a holiday stressor, or a change in plans becomes that cold drop of water that breaks us. To prevent this, I’ve developed a way to keep my "glass" flexible through intentional exposure. 1. Thermal Align...

Unveiling the Distinction: Self-Employed vs. Entrepreneur

Introduction: In the dynamic landscape of modern business, the terms "self-employed" and "entrepreneur" are often used interchangeably, leading to confusion about their true meanings and implications. While both roles involve working for oneself, they encompass different mindsets, approaches, and goals. In this blog post, we will delve into the core differences between being self-employed and being an entrepreneur, shedding light on the unique aspects of each path. Defining Self-Employment Self-employment refers to individuals who work for themselves and provide products or services directly to clients or customers.

The Power of Experiential Learning

Introduction: Experiential learning has emerged as a transformative approach, bridging the gap between theory and practice. This blog post delves into the fascinating realm of experiential learning, exploring its benefits, real-world impact, and the compelling data that supports its effectiveness. Defining Experiential Learning: Experiential learning is an immersive educational strategy that engages learners in direct, hands-on experiences. Unlike traditional classroom methods, this approach emphasizes reflection and application, providing students with a dynamic and interactive learning environment. Breaking Down the Four Pillars: David Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) is a comprehensive framework that seeks to understand how learning occurs through experience. Developed in the 1970s, Kolb's theory posits that learning is a continuous process that involves the transformation of experience into knowledge. The model outlines a cycle of four stages each representing diff...
