Most self-defense classes aren’t wrong.

They’re incomplete.

And incomplete training creates something more dangerous than no training at all — false confidence.

In this episode of The John Hallett Podcast, we break down why most programs focus too heavily on techniques and ignore the skill that actually matters:

👉 Decision-making under stress

You’ll learn:

• Why technique-heavy training can fail in real situations
• The role of awareness, avoidance, and de-escalation
• How false confidence is created — and why it’s dangerous
• What real self-defense training should actually look like
• Why legality and proportional force must be part of training

Self-defense isn’t about collecting techniques.

It’s about becoming a disciplined decision-maker under pressure.

If your training doesn’t improve your judgment, it’s missing the point.

If you want to go deeper into real-world self-defense, decision-making under stress, and responsible training:
