If I may add a little bit more...

In my opinion, no body can enhance their 'confrontational' ability just by solely watching the tapes and nothing else. In analogy, Senshido tapes will show us the right direction, but it is up to us to use our feet to move towards that direction.

Let's say there's one bad individual and one good individual. Both had dissected all information on the tapes, did all the drills with partners and aliveness, and mental blueprinting all possible scenarios.

The good guy will have much higher chance of surviving the assault from the bad guy because the will to survive is much more stronger than any desire to hurt, maim, or kill.

This is just my opinion though.

Ps.

Please allow me to introduce myself to this exceptional forum and its exceptional members. I am just a regular joe with a clueless face most of the time :P…but some unfortunate experiences had forced me to learn martial arts (a little bit TKD, boxing, judo, and Aikido) and fortunately I have acquired just enough experiences to realize that I couldn’t rely on any of the above when needed. So here I am at the Senshido forum! Happy training to you all!
