Putting the lie to the age of push-button warfare, or, Why CQC Matters.

Push-button technology may indeed be a singularity in force multiplication, but when all is said and done, it is ultimately just gear. And the more complex the gear, the more likely it is to fail in high-stress situations. In the end, when all your gear is broken or inaccessible, your war will be won and lost on your ability and willingness to take the fight to the enemy with the most basic of tools - rocks, sticks, fists, feet and teeth.

Make no mistake - whether or not you are ready and willing to do so, the enemy will be more than ready and willing to do so to YOU. The rules of civilised warfare are a laughable joke, and the first casualty in any conflict.

Get trained. Get educated. Stand ready.

Above and beyond a solid series of fundamental drills for developing and consolidating the flat-foot squat, some very cogent thoughts on self-awareness and maintaining boundaries for lifelong training from Combat Professor Kevin Secours.

Realise that no one cares about or respects your issues or limitations. This includes coaches, training partners, or even trainees, all of whom are potentially very ready to trivialise and mock you for having very real issues and limitations at any given time.

If you want to be able to train for life without being broken by the callousness or even deliberate malice of others, you have to take three key points to heart.

1.) Realise that you cannot control how people respond to the authentic you. If you open up with honesty to others, be prepared to be misunderstood, rejected and persecuted - not simply as a possibility, but by default. That's just how the world works. In the end, we're all in this alone.

2.) Get comfortable with the discomfort of rejection so you can firmly say 'no' to practices and challenges that will certainly damage you. If a person or group of persons cares so little about you that they will violate your boundaries and injure your person to force conformation to their norms, they're not worth keeping around anyway. Someone else's problems are always trivial - that's just how human beings think. It's your body that you will have to drag around for the rest of your life - honour its limitations.

3.) Pushing your limits is not the same as seeking out pain and injury. It's about treading the razor's edge between caution and arduous seeking - veering one way leads to cowardice and indolence, veering the other leads to suicidal recklessness. There is always a way to train around limitations - just not necessarily one that is generally regarded as glamorous or even obvious. The mature seeker seeks education and practices creativity in planning training.
