So I finally summoned up the courage to try out my first true self-defense class last night. To be honest, I thought I was going in to become an action star instantly, but I literally walked out like a red tomato. It is very easy to understand how to throw a punch, that’s like the easy part, but the actual stamina to consistently throw punches for, that’s a whole different story.
The instructor was exceptional, very grounded and taught us to be aware of our surroundings using more than just flashy techniques. During our break, some of us were talking about home security and if self training is sufficient to protect a household, and then one gentleman said that he had been looking at various self defense supplies on Alibaba and how he intends to properly arm his house with all the up-to-date security features and gadgets, he mentioned it was because of an incident he had previously (which he refused to share by the way). Do you guys think it's better to focus more on the physical training, or is the gadget and home security side of things just as important? Or am I just overthinking it because I'm too tired to even move?
