Statement of Purpose

This project is an investigation of 5 Martial Arts styles. Self-defense is a major theme in martial arts today and to better understand how different martial arts schools and styles treat self-defense I am going to learn all I can (given time restraints) about each of the five styles. These schools will be chosen from a list of local martial arts studios, and the style will be the one that is taught at that studio. Many studios teach multiple styles, so in this case on of the styles taught there will be analyzed. At the end of the project all the schools I visited will be rated and scored to show in which areas they excel or by contrast, fall short.

Reality Defense

This page is for all the pictures and videos of the reality self-defense. I have only been there once so there are not many pictures yet, but stay tuned for more.
 The basic myths of self-defense.
1. It won't happen to me
2. Someone Else will protect me
3. If I don't Fight back... they won't hurt me
4. I studied Martial arts already, I'll be fine
         -Most martial arts are 99% competition and exhibition, and 1% Self-Defense
5. Weapons Are the Answer
         - Having a weapon and knowing how to use it doesn't ensure your safety by any means
6. Only the Strong Win
         - The ones who win are not necesarilly the strongest
