I use this clip as a reference in every Combatives Seminar that I teach, be it Women's Self Defense or law Enforcement. It is not for the fighting skills but the philosophy of the Black Knight. The never quit mentality that is evident in his makeup.
How do you get that type of mental strength? You have to figure out what you are fighting for and what you do not want to lose before a confrontation. What is worth fighting for that will sustain you through the pain and fear of a real world confrontation? I can't tell you what your trigger for survival is, mine is an 8 year old little girl. It has to be personal and specific for you.
Once you have something worth fighting for everything is just a "flesh wound," felt only after you are through. When you have something worth fighting for, your chances for survival increase. If you have something to fight for, you will actually fight, not live in an apathetic state . That is the liberal state of "It can't happen to me." The very thought of having something to fight for frees you from that state. It is not paranoia, it is taking care of your tools for when they are needed.
Somewhat meandering, but important info. It is also something I know a little about.
