Can You Really Learn Martial Arts in 12 Lessons?

I get this question quite often about my 12 lesson program. The truth is NO, you won’t be able to learn a martial art in 12 lessons. Martial Arts require years of practice, huge amounts of memorization and thousands of repetitions in multi-step techniques. However, self-defense skills are SIMPLE, EASY TO LEARN and INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE.

Learning a martial art is about self-perfection, building character, and creating positive mental and physical change. Learning real-world self-defense is about surviving an attempted assault which could end up in rape and/or homicide. It is doing what you have to do to make it home to see your family. Self-Defense employs brutal techniques done in a manner that most martial artists are afraid to teach (or don’t know how to teach). Devastatingly effective gross-motor movements are utilized that even a 4 year old can learn. Twelve lessons in an effective self-defense system can provide the based for all of the methods and techniques you will ever need. You can practice on your own from this point, putting together your own training routines, combinations, and self-defense workout schedules. From here, yoiu can continue to teach yourself and STAND ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET.

Even though you can’t learn martial arts in 12 lessons,you CAN learn self-defense

Joel Lucky's Self-Defense Philosophy

Perfect intention is more important than perfect technique. Joel’s self-defense program differs from others in that it is conceptually based and behaviorally rooted, unlike most martial arts which are purely technique based. The truth is, knowing how to punch, kick, throw, and joint lock an attacker is not the most important aspect of self-defense. Understanding how to use body language and choice speech to either avoid a physical altercation altogether or gain a tactical advantage before an attack begins is more important.

To successfully survive a violent attack, you already have a set of basic weapons and instincts at your disposal. You don’t need to learn complicated martial art sequences. You don’t need to know how to jump, spin, and do flying kicks.

In order for a self-defense system to enhance your chances at surviving a real fight, an attempted rape, mugging, or murder, it is essential for the system to be reality-based.
