The Reality Gap in Self Protection Training ft. Reece Reeve


Listen Later

What's the difference between learning martial arts and learning to survive real violence?


Dave and James 'MMA' Sharples welcome Reece Reeve from SOS Combatives CIC for a raw conversation about reality-based self-defence.

From the physiological effects of adrenaline to why the people who need training most are least likely to seek it, Reece breaks down the 'reality gap' between sport fighting and street survival.


What they explore:

πŸ₯Š Why traditional martial arts don't prepare you for real violence

⚑ The effects of adrenaline when the odds are stacked against you

🎯 Post-attack self-preservation techniques you've never considered

πŸ’ͺ Building genuine confidence through uncomfortable training


Reece shares his mission to teach street-relevant self-protection whilst using the funds raised to support local causes and charities. From senior citizens to women survivors of domestic abuse, his work is bridging the gap between training and reality.
