It seems to me, that these days everyone and their sister are practitioners of NLP. There is a myriad of books, cd’ s and courses available on the market, all geared toward enhancing your ability to communicate more effectively, build rapport with just about anyone and model the behaviour of those who excel at the highest level. The majority of Neuro Linguistic Programming material available is aimed at gaining success in business, personal relationships, sporting endeavours, infact basically any field can be enhanced in some way via the methods of accelerated learning technologies that NLP can offer. Now I am not going to go into the dynamics of what NLP is, if you don’t already know, then where have you been.
At the very least I suggest you buy a simple book from any good bookshop, read it then apply it in some way to your life at every opportunity. Bottom line is that NLP can provide you with simple strategies that can enhance your ability to communicate, build rapport, understand the way you represent yourself to the world and the way in which the world is represented to you, among other nuggets of greatness. Will all this said, you will find that any specific NLP material relating to Self-Protection or understanding ways in which we can use it, to counter violence and aggression, is indeed extremely thin on the ground. There are plenty of really good articles available on the internet relating to NLP and Combatives or as its often referred to in this context, Neural Based Training, penned by some of the top people in our field, the likes of Marcus Wynne, Darren Laur and Dennis Martin to name just a few. I have compiled a thick file on such material. But suggest to anyone in this field just how useful it would be to write a book or some kind of instructional guide, for those Self Protection instructors and practitioners out there who would like to apply it in their teaching and training, or simply for the people who are lacking in confidence of their ability to apply their skills in a physical sense, those who could really use some advice on how to reframe their perspective during a potentially violent confrontation. Suggest such an instructional for commercial purchase and suddenly everyone wants to sit on such knowledge as if it’s the Holy Grail.
