VIDEO: Hand Conditioning with Damian Ross and The Self Defense Training System

Body Conditioning: A systematic to prepare the human skeletal, musculature and nervous systems for close quarters, unarmed combat.

This is the most overlooked aspect of self defense training and it is essential for the SDTS (Self Defense Training System). Without this type of preparation you will be unable to withstand the physical demands of hand to hand combat. Methods that require you to wear hand protection, strike air or pull your technique on a regular basis must be SERIOUSLY examined as to their real world effectiveness.

There are tow types of "conditioning": offensive and defensive. Offensive conditioning refers to preparing all areas of the body used for attack: edge of hand, heal of hand, fore knuckles, forearms, elbows, shoulders, head, hip, knee, shin, heel, instep of foot, buttocks, bottom of foot, etc. Defensive conditioning refers to preparing the areas of the body that are targets of attack: chin, neck, throat, solar plexus, genitals, spine, kidneys, liver, spleen, etc.

The method to develop pain tolerance and to deliver effective strikes through body conditioning is simple in concept. Slowly start to inflict a tolerable amount of pain to the area without causing bleeding, bruising or breakage. build up the intensity over time and let pain be your guide. After you condition your body, put it in ice or under cold water ASAP and then hot. About 10 to 20 minutes of each. Do your conditioning at the end of your training session so you are warmed up and do not cause undo damage to your body.

The complete method of this essential training can be seen on module 6 of the self defense training system HERE (http://www.theselfdefenseco.com/module06.asp)

WARNING: STOP immediately is bleeding, bruising or intense pain. Make sure you are striking and object that is on a surface designed to absorb the shock and impact of your strikes. This will decrease any long term, negative effects of this type of training.
