True SDTS Success Stories of People Surviving Attacks using SDTS Combatives
This true story comes from a female high school student of Self Defense Company Instructor Delmus Pinkston in Root, Switzerland.
“This is a true story, a first hand experience of why everyone must learn self-defence. Coming from a pretty conservative culture, the concept of being able to defend myself was novel to me. Mr. Pinkston, who teaches self-defense at my school, instilled in me the importance of having this skill.
After I finished that semester I went home to India. One night, while I was traveling through a small town on the western coast – I was attacked by two men.
They stopped me, asked for money and then their hands started going places they shouldn’t have been. It was all happening very fast and I felt things were getting out of control – then, in an instant – my first SDTS training lesson came to mind and I could hear Mr. P’s voice in my head, “If you’re scared, you’re giving them all of the power.”
That single thought worked like a spell and I then I did some of the SDTS Combatives techniques he taught me…
Finger Dart in eyes? DONE
Chin Jab? CHECK
A Whip Kick where it hurts most? Hell yes.
Scream and call for help even if nobody bothers? I think I woke up the whole town!
And then I just ran.
I didn’t sleep that night, but I was safe, I was alive and I did all of it on my own.
None of it would have been possible if I hadn’t gone to those lessons.
Because Instructor Pinkston didn’t just show me how to do those moves. He taught me how to think at that moment of travesty. How to breathe and assure myself I’d be okay. Oh, and he definitely taught me how to kick some butt!
It’s a great time to be a woman in this world, but a little practice and defending yourself helps A LOT. Plus, it’s not just for women! I am convinced that anybody can learn how to protect themselves. As they should.
Mr. P’s teachings have been crucial in shaping me as a woman today, and now I walk tall with confidence I never knew before because I know with 100% certainty, that I can protect myself.
