Does MMA or Boxing Prepare You for Self-Defense? | Castle Rock

What Makes a Self-Defense Program Legitimate?

Listen To The Full Episode of The John Hallett Podcast.

A legitimate self-defense program:

  • Defines the problem it solves
  • Includes avoidance and de-escalation
  • Teaches legal proportionality
  • Introduces stress progressively
  • Has clear progression standards

If advancement is vague, stress is absent, or legality is ignored, the structure may be incomplete.

Legitimacy is about standards — not flash.
