Adopting a Realistic Mindset in Self Defence means “Do what you can, not as you want” means choosing the highest-odds option you can do under stress, then using it to create space and get away. Practice basics with a qualified instructor, plan how you’ll set boundaries, and rehearse de-escalation phrases. The best self defence outcome is simple: you get home safe.

Every martial art has a home range, but self defence doesn’t care about your preference. Long range buys time, middle range rewards sharp defence, clinch range demands control, and ground range calls for urgent escapes. When you can spot the range, you can choose a safer plan instead of guessing.
Train basic skills in all four ranges, then spend extra time on transitions and getting away. Distance decides what you can do. If you’re far, you can kick. If you’re close, you can punch. If you’re chest-to-chest, you clinch. If you hit the ground, everything changes.

Some x-guard stuff -> ankle lock. Someone on tiktok commented that you should go belly down at the end, and iirc that’s how they taught us in class too, I just forgot to draw it 🤫

I saw a goanna fight yesterday! They wrestled without biting, for half an hour. Often their postures looked surprisingly like those of a pair of tired human wrestlers, clutching each other’s shoulders with their handlike forefeet, hissing softly instead of panting, and as much leaning on each other as pushing; but they never rested. They also didn’t topple over as much: tails are great for balance recovery. At length one got on top of the other’s back, and then bit at its neck; and the pinned one broke away and ran, with the other pursuing, into the scrub out of sight.
My photos are lousy and don’t do justice to the drama, but I hope they’re of interest.
