Today I want to reiterate the core message of Hope is NOT a Plan related to self-defense. Relying solely on hope is not enough to succeed in life, especially in self-defense situations. So, during today’s episode, I will share some broad self-defense and martial arts insight, as well as some specific information about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), my chosen combat sport.

The Problem:

No confidence or overconfidence by untrained people to defend themselves

The Hope:

I will rise to the occasion if a violent situation happens

The Plan:

Share mindset and resources from my 5 1/2 years training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

The Solution:

Emphasize the benefits of confidence, fitness, awareness, and martial skills that come from training in legit combat sports and how to get started by visiting a gym, asking others and online, and finding your martial arts "Why?"

Stay safe, get some training, and Godspeed,

Kevin
