That usually reveals someone. At the end of the day ITS THE DOG IN THE FIGHT.
The SDTS gives you tools and the fasted way to develop them. OK, there’s an argument there (and like you pointed out “It’s easy to be critical”)
But the 8 laws of Self Defense can be applied to anything:
The 8 Cardinal Rules of The Self Defense Training System
1. It must work on an assailant that is much larger and stronger than you.
2. It must work against both armed and unarmed assailants at the same time.
3. It must work against multiple and single assailants at the same time.
4. It must work against determined and capable assailants.
5. It must work when you are distracted, older or injured and appear to be a good target of opportunity.
6. It can’t have specific defense for each individual situation.
7. It must work in every possible environment (the same method must work in snow, sand, parking lot, woods, jungle, your living room, etc.).
8. It must become instinctive and convulsive as quickly as possible.
Technically- any “style” can be made to fit into this mold. There are people training in the SDTS right now who have adapted what their years of previous training to work like the SDTS. In stead of a Tiger Claw, its a punch- the actual techniques are secondary. The TACTICS are primary nd tactics always come first.
