Personal Protection


Questions from friends ..

1 . How long have u been training martial art ?

2. Is there any different between Personal Protection and Martial Arts ?

3. How many form of Martial Arts are you trained in ?

4. Which one is the BEST .. ?

5. Is it a MUST to learn and know Personal Protection ?

I have been training Martial Art since 13plus year old , that time I was learning Chinese Martial Art and Taekwondo .... I got my 1st black belt in Taekwondo when I was 17 years old ... I started as an assistant instructor then , and promoted to be an instructor around 19 years old .

I am 35 years old .... and I have been training in more then 4 types of Martial Arts ...

Personal Protection is about '' keeping oneself safe and alive '' ... is about taking precaution and to avoid getting into a '' fight '' .... ''an accident ''... '' etc ....

Martial Art - by right it is '' The methods and Tactic for war and combat .. '' By right it should be very comprehensive and complete ... but due to different preference of people , it was separated into different forms , believe .... different focus ....

Some prefer Strikes , some prefer Throws and locks , some prefer weapons .... some using them as sports to compete ... some use them as a tool to train for fitness and self defence , some use it as an Art to appreciate .... so ended up there are many different forms of Arts in the world now ...

Nothing to compare about them .... all depend on what you want and need it for .


Depend on one needs and the level that one wish to attain ... My personal opinion is everyone should learn and know the methods of defending oneself from harm and accident . Its always never too late or too early to know and train in Personal Protection .
