I just finished reading a magazine article that posed that
question. The author didn’t really give
an answer, not a definitive one, but it got me thinking. That may have been the real intent of the
article.
I have trained, taken various classes, both in shooting and
personal defense tactics, have instructor credentials…do I still need
training? YES! If for nothing else that to learn someone
else’s perspective! I know quite a bit,
but I do not know everything. Every
class I’ve taken I come away with something.
Every time I teach I also learn something.
It is a little like the classic question; “How many guns do
I need? One more than I have.” How much training do I need? I’ll let you know after my next class.
Never enough training - always keep pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteTraining is like practice. You need it to keep your skills sharp. Do you want to find yourself in a self-defense situation with less than the best you can be? No.
