e266 – KUDEN! – Injury & Shinken Gata: An Overlooked Reality of Real-World Self-Defense Training


What happens if you’re already injured when the attack begins, or become injured during or even after an attack? Most martial artists never consider it. Most self-defense training assumes you’re healthy, whole and “have all of your mental and physical faculties intact”.

In this episode of KUDEN! Radio we deep dive into Shinken Gata – The real combat mindset – and explore how to prepare for the overlooked but very real possibility of being injured before, during, or immediately after an attack and what it means to truly BE prepared!

This isn’t theory. This is the training that too many “tough guys” and sport fighters skip – and it’s the reason they freeze, flail or fall apart when reality doesn’t match dojo training or their comfortable belief system.

Listen, take notes and re-think everything you believe about readiness.
