SUMMARY

FOREWORD

A note right at the beginning:

"Fighting techniques are not a sport and are used exclusively for self-defense! This should be clear to anyone who wants to learn them. Only in the hands of a peaceful mind do they do no harm".

In my opinion, all fighting styles are equally good and offer everything you need for self-defense. It just depends on what the individual makes of it.

"Our mental state ultimately decides whether we win or lose, not our technique."

If we ask ourselves again and again what makes the lion an excellent hunter, we come across the following attributes: Courage, patience, determination.

In order to survive a self-defense situation unscathed, we have to awaken the lion within us.

I have long considered whether it is right to write a book about the theoretical side of martial arts, as I prefer to focus on peace, humanity and mutual appreciation. However, due to social changes, I now feel compelled to pass on my knowledge of martial arts.

There are more and more aggressive contemporaries who are disturbing our peace. They are the reason why I ultimately decided to publish this book. After all, everyone should be able to defend their personal freedom.

I always publish in the hope that my book will end up in the right hands.

The following content is not about fighting techniques in detail, but about the mental tools for dealing with a self-defense situation.

It teaches us stillness, contemplation and awareness, but also concentration on the essentials. It awakens the essence of our physical abilities and makes it clear that each of us harbors a lion within us.

The reader also learns how the ego influences our lives and relationships, and how we can recognize when it has a grip on our actions.

It shows how to gain mental strength to defend your life in an emergency.

INTRODUCTION

Unfortunately, we are reading and hearing more and more about violent attacks on supposedly helpless people.

They often take place in broad daylight, on busy streets and pedestrian zones. Attackers proceed with extreme brutality and boldness, as they do not expect their victims to put up any resistance.

Passers-by look to the side in shame out of fear instead of intervening to help. Analyzing this passive behaviour of our fellow human beings would probably be a very interesting subject for a psychologist, but would not help us at the moment.

Let us therefore discuss how you can best protect yourself. This book is primarily aimed at women because, sad as it is, they make up the majority of victims. The aim is to help them escape the "typical victim role". But of course I am also addressing men who want to protect their family from violent attacks.

My many years of practice in various Far Eastern martial arts and the study of different human behaviors have shown me that everyone is capable of successfully defending themselves against an attacker, even if they have no experience in martial arts. Of course, this requires some techniques, but the most important point for the success of self-defense is the mental attitude.

Mental strength in particular puts you in a position to defend yourself with just a few techniques in the event of an attack.

First and foremost, be aware that every attack is extremely dangerous, which is why you need to acquire a high degree of discipline and willingness to act. Therefore, practise each technique regularly so that you can call it up from your subconscious with full strength and confidence in an emergency.

Discipline also includes recognizing an opportunity to escape - because the best fight is the one that doesn't take place in the first place.

Compare yourself to a warrior. They train every day for a fight that may never happen, but they are ready for it anyway. They are constantly training and trying to internalize new techniques. Of course, there are more enjoyable forms of further training. Who wouldn't prefer to immerse themselves in profound philosophical philosophical masterpieces, or embrace all people in friendship, instead of spending time studying fighting techniques.

But a world like ours, which, in addition to many beautiful things, also produces ugly by-products, forces us to develop new survival strategies.

Only those who adapt to the constantly changing situations will ultimately survive the fight. Considering how many fights you have already won in your life, learning a few self-defense techniques is just another piece in the mosaic of perfecting your personal self-defense skills.

maturation process. Think of it merely as an expansion of your repertoire of already learned movements, such as walking and standing, cycling, grasping objects, etc. Even if you have no previous experience in any kind of martial arts, this book will provide you with the necessary basic knowledge and understanding of the individual techniques and behavioral measures. But don't forget:

"Reading alone is not enough. As we all know, practice makes perfect. And fortunately, this also includes mental training, not just the sweat of physical exertion"
