Self-defence
is not the purpose of Tetsudo, but in following the Tetsudo training,
once you reach a certain point in your development, you will be able to
have sufficient self control to take the appropriate action to survive
any threat.
BS Dhaliwal says -
"The student exercises
such a degree of control over himself or herself, that the
body is freed from all fears, inhibitions, and insecurities, and
thereby the student creates an environment in which the biologically
inherant SURVIVAL INSTINCT can take over the body functions"
Tetsura says -
"Self-defence is not a
function of learning tricks, but is a function of how quickly
and intensely one can arouse one's instinct for survival."
The Association does
offer regular Self-defence courses for Tetsudo
Students, to enable them to be more "Street-wise" and to provide them
with specific techniques and knowledge to aid them if attacked.
