We've all seen them: those slick, high-energy videos showcasing incredible martial arts techniques and seemingly effortless self-defense maneuvers. A perfectly timed disarm here, a flawless takedown there – it's a visual feast that leaves you thinking, "Wow, I wish I could do that!" But here's the cold, hard truth: those videos are a dangerous illusion, a carefully curated fantasy that bears little resemblance to the messy, unpredictable reality of a physical altercation (check out the full blog here).
In this episode, Mark Medeiros and Eric Poirier discuss this key topic, along with Eric's recent milestone in getting certified as a T4TCS Level 1 Combatives Instructor.
We also hear a little bit about Eric's journey (Blog Post here), a few reviews from clients who have attended Seminars hosted by Mark, and his instructor, Joey, from Kombat Arts.
