Cobra Kai, the popular martial arts dojo from The Karate Kid movie series, has a motto that applies just as much to real life self defense situations as it does to the fictional Karate matches in the movies: “Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy.”
In real life situations, this motto means that you should always be prepared and ready to defend yourself if you are ever in a dangerous situation. No matter the situation, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to be prepared to act if it ever becomes necessary. This means being able to recognize potential danger, and having a plan of action if it arises.
STRIKE FIRST
If someone is threatening you or your loved ones, it is important to be able to act quickly to protect yourself, and this is where the Cobra Kai motto comes in. By striking first, you can take control of the situation and put yourself in a position of power. This means being able to strike before your opponent does, whether it’s a physical attack or verbal. You need to be able to recognize the signs of potential danger and react quickly and decisively. Remember that action is always faster than reaction. This means that the person who acts first always have the tactical advantage.
STRIKE HARD
Once you have taken control of the situation, it is important to strike hard. This means being able to use the necessary force to protect yourself and your loved ones. You have to focus on injuring your attacker to such an extent that the attacker can no longer continue with his attack.
NO MERCY
You should never hesitate or hold back, as this could put you in even more danger. Finally, it is important to remember the “no mercy” part of the Cobra Kai motto. This means that once you have taken control of the situation, you should not hesitate to take action and use the necessary force to protect yourself. You should not show any mercy to your opponents, as they could still be dangerous. Remember, your attacker has no feelings for you. To them, you are just an opportunity. Neither should you have any feelings for him.
