Just because you label what you do in self-defense does not make it self-defense. I was reading a response the other day to some questions regarding a knife defense drill video and the author spoke vehemently that because he teaches it as self-defense it is self-defense.
Many years ago I also thought that something I was practicing and teaching was self-defense. I have sense realized that most, if not all, of what I determined as self-defense actually would have gotten me locked up with some very dangerous people. It would have cost me and my family our family fortune as it was and it would have cost us much more spiritually not to forget the freedom lost because I misunderstood what self-defense was, is and would be if I had used those so called defense tactics.
The lines drawn for self-defense seem to be blurred so learning about it and all it entails seems to me, important.
