HPPT and Nonlethal Force. How to stay out of jail!

* HPPT and Nonlethal Force

HPPT and Nonlethal Force: Most martial artists and their instructors live in a fantasy world when it comes to self defense. And I will say it once again! Self Defense is NOT MMA, ring fighting, street fighting or an ego trip. Thus, it is a serious matter, with serious consequences.

Most of all it is requires specialized training, and this training is not what 90 percent of the population think it is. Therefore with that in mind today I want to address HPPT and Nonlethal Force

So, what is HPPT? If you read this blog or follow me elsewhere you will know that stands for Humane Pressure Point Tactics.  Here is an article that will go into great details on Humane Pressure Point Tactics.

And there is on this blog at least a dozen articles on self defense. Most of all I mean directly on Self Defense. Important to note I have spent 30 years in search of what works, why it works and how to properly train for self defense. But oddly it is a subject few martial artists are interested in. People would write me asking question but only for the reason of "debate" on the subject.

Therefore after all these years I have no interest in debate. You either wish to learn or not. Both are correct ways to think. And I have nothing to prove. However with the current issues in the world today. The massive corruption that infiltrates every aspect or life, HPPT and Nonlethal Force are a talk we need to have.

HPPT and Nonlethal Force

Important to understand is that Self Defense has been under attack in the western cultures for a long time. I have written many articles on this. One such article "your right to self defense in the 21st century" being one. But I am not going to cover old ground. Follow the link if you are interested. I do need to discuss "Nonlethal Force" because making mistakes, especially today will get you locked away forever.

Aside from the fact that psychologically most people cannot live with the guilt of taking a human life, no matter how much they think they can!  Today you will not be judged by the "rule of law" but by who you used lethal force against and what you think politically. 

HPPT and Nonlethal Force - Let's look at what I mean

Back in spring 2020 the USA had massive politically based and paid for riots in democratic cities. These riots were called my MSM "mostly peaceful." I watch live underground video feeds while it was happening. There was NOTHING peaceful abut these protests.

Most of all these peaceful protesters today, who have committed acts of murder are walking free. And the terrorist organization BLM responsible for this has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Hence, I hope you see the playing field of self defense is NOT LEVEL.

And yesterday an article was featured in Time magazine stating the election in the USA was rigged and that this WAS OK! 

HPPT and Nonlethal Force

With the current move to communism in the west, and yes this is all communism, using lethal force will likely be a life sentence for you. And possibly a death sentence also as retribution will be allowed. You need special skills today!

Also other BIG issues that should be and once was a saving grace,  is video surveillance by the masses. Video was once a great way to show innocent. But editing now can turn a real self defense situation into murder. Special training skills are needed. And HPPT and Nonlethal Force is an example of this.

HPPT and Nonlethal Force in Conclusion

HPPT and Nonlethal Force CONCLUSION

People are very slowly waking up to the truth about 2020/2021/2022.

We have all be HAD. Life circumstances woke me up decades ago.

But as the masses see the lies and realize the clear and present danger we face today, you know it will take time before things get better.

As of the time of this writing the next 30 days are critical. Beyond that time recovery is decades. And beyond my life cycle. If you read this far I assume you are awake or waking up. I have been cryptic on purpose. 

Below I offer some critical learn possibilities. Some free, some come at a minimal price. Have a look, watch the videos and consider what I am saying. Thank you for reading HPPT and Nonlethal Force.

A Martial Artist is NOT a Self Defense Expert

Self Defense Expert

I am going to upset a few people today, but a Martial Artist is NOT a Self Defense Expert! In fact most know little to nothing about the topic. They pretend to because they either won a few street fights in their day or some tournaments. Sorry guys, self defense is not the same thing! Now a martial artist can be a self defense expert, but this requires a different type of training and knowledge!

Now I am not saying that these men and women cannot fight, that is an entirely different subject, with almost no relationship between them.

Self Defense Expert - The Fight

I have great respect for fighters. I was an amateur boxer in my youth as well as a full contact and point style TKD fighter. However I discovered one day when I got into a situation I could not handle that there was a big difference between the 2! Yes it did have a lot to with physical skills, but much more of it was mental or psychological than anyone realizes. 

* Right to Self Defense

Sample #1:

You are in a bar with your "significant other" and a problem arises with another person there. Words are exchanged perhaps because you choose to defend the honor of the person you are with. So you take it outside! Depending on whether there are drugs and or alcohol involved the average martial artist will do very well here. But this is a FIGHT. There will be a winner and a loser, because their ego dictates there must be one! And no one is trying to kill the other, at least not in this scenario!

Sample #2

A man is stationed at a military base that comes under attack via ground forces. Without a weapon in his hand he defeats and kills an attacker. This is not self defense, this is combat. In the real world he would likely succeed in most self defense situations. However he will likely end up charged with at least manslaughter and end up with prison time for excessive force. 

There is also a difference in the psychology of the attacker. In a military or combat situation the attacker is expecting a problem with the defender. On the street the attacker has chosen a victim! 

Sample #3

You are walking out of the movies with your wife and child. 2 guys approach you and demand your money. As you are about to comply, becasue you are smart the situation turns violent. You must SURVIVE not win, and protect your wife and child. You were chosen because you appeared to be easy. And with the right kind of training, both mentally and physically you could survive this! But not if you think the championship you won last year, or your knife fight training will help you.

This is a different UNIVERSE and it is not even a parallel one!

A Martial Artist is NOT a Self Defense Expert

Self Defense Experts - The Real Deal

Do I consider myself a self defense expert? That is a yes and no answer. I am still training and researching to discover the truth of our every changing world and the violence issues we face. They are not the same ones we faced 5 years ago even. Therefore while I am adept, I do not like the word expert. 

Can anyone be a self defense expert? It depends on several different things.

  1. Unless you have never been robbed, or attacked on the street it is pretty hard to relate to the situation. You need to have experienced the adrenaline when this happens
  2. You must be trained in a system that focuses on simple and solid movements. It ain't Hollywood and Bruce Lee's movies were pretend. 
  3. You need to research situations with people who have been there. Learn how they did, what they did and how they survived the threat!

This is the beginning, getting on the path to becoming a self defense expert. But the lessons never end.

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

Self Defense Expert: Becoming proficient at self defense or becoming an expert is a no ending journey. Situations change constantly and we must develop our skills accordingly!
