Basic Self Defense One on One Training

April 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

By learning some of the basic principles of self-defense you can take control of your life and your safety whether you’re at home, in the parking lot of the, walking your dog, or in the clutches of an attacker.

The mere mention of physical assault is enough to send shivers up any woman’s spine. Most of us shake off the fear, cross our fingers and hope for the best. But, unfortunately, that’s not enough to chase the bad guys away. When it comes to personal safety, you have two choices: empower yourself or run the risk of being an easy target…

To take control of your everyday safety, you need strength, courage and common sense, says Kathleen Baty, founder of SafetyChick Enterprises (www.safetychick.com) and author of A Girl’s Gotta Do What A Girl’s Gotta Do (Rodale Books, 2003). “It isn’t about living paranoid,” she says. “It’s about living smart.”

I’m here to help you and a friend learn the best ways to keep an attacker off of you. Fittron has taught me a lot about team work and I’m here to help share my knowledge with you in a fun and health way of life. Trust me there somethings you don’t want to miss out on.

Three Things You Must Do

By Sidney Wilson

[Sidney Wilson is a fitness model, actor and personal trainer. His celebrity clients, include Day 26 and Nelson, The Prince of Bad Boy]


Cardiovascular, Muscle, Endurance (CME) is the foundation of any good fitness program. Leave one out and you’ll deprive yourself of the strength, speed and performance your body wants to naturally deliver.

Let’s go through each one, and then put them back together:

Cardiovascular, pertains to your heart, lungs and blood vessels. People hear the word cardio – and think treadmill. But that’s too limiting. Single focus cardio activities like running, will get your heart rate up but deprive your body and soul of a larger set of cardiovascular benefits: a strong heart, normal blood pressure and healthy lungs that will lead you to a longer, more satisfying life.

The best cardio? Think Versaclimber, boxing, tennis, or swimming. Anything that gets your heart rate moving, while engaging your entire body.

Muscle is composed of fibers, the contraction of which produces movement in the body. Muscle forms the foundation of strength, helps you build size and tone. Muscles respond to fast to training, but they adjust and settle into plateaus if you don’t “change it up.”

The best muscle workout programs engage a constant combination of machines and free weights. My personal favorites? Isometrics and challenging myself with my own body weight

Endurance, unlike cardiovascular, is a measurement of how long and how hard you can engage in a full body workout, play a competitive sport, or climb a mountain. Cardio will pump up your heart rate, but endurance is what will sustain it. Good athletes have the stamina and the resolve to cross the finish line, keep a tough game going, or take on huge flights of stairs when the subway escalator is out.

To build endurance, put exercises in back-to-back groups with little to no break time in between sets. For example, do a squat while holding two dumb bells even with your chest. Evolve the top of the squat movement into a shoulder press. Follow ten of those with 10-15 pushups, followed by 10-15 bicep curls. If you’re advanced, complete the routine by pumping out 10-15 full sit-ups. Then do two more full rounds of your combined routine. Trust me, it will be the workout of your life.

If you’re going to take the time to exercise and get yourself to the gym, do it right and reap the greater rewards of a larger fitness approach that takes in cardiovascular, muscle and endurance training. You’ll burn more calories, gain more muscle fiber, shred more body fat, and get ripped more quickly.

Sidney Wilson, personal trainer , fitness model and actor

Sidney Wilson

“To be the best, you must exceed the rest,” says personal trainer and fitness model Sidney Wilson. But, what is the best? “It’s a personal question – and it doesn’t always mean you have to be the strongest guy in the world, or the best athlete that ever lived, but it does mean setting stretch goals,” he says. ”People tend to over think training and fitness.” adds Sidney. “ I help you see it, believe it and achieve it. To make everyday an easy day.”

Sidney’s “easy day” philosophy set off a buzz amongst his community of personal training clients, who describe his training as tough, tougher and toughest. As Sidney puts it “my training is never really easy, but if you’ve done the work, you get in the right mindset, you stick to the regimen, and you do your homework assignments, you reach a state of mind where you experience a level of performance you never thought possible.”

“It’s tough, it sucks, you hate it, and you love it. Because you realize you’ve done the work. You’ve trained, you’re prepared. You know it’s going to be an easy day.”

Sidney has hundreds of “easy day” stories. He recalls a client that ran her first marathon. At the 12th mile she panicked, she didn’t think she could do it. But she recalled her training, her coaching, her knowledge. “I know how to do this,” she said aloud. “26 miles? Easy day.” Or the cyclist that’s pedaling as hard as he can, but is barely moving because of the high headwinds that just kicked in. He gets concerned, even a little scared. “But hey,” he thinks to himself. “I’ve trained for this. I know what to do. Easy day.”

As Sidney will tell you, “It’s a mind game. Don’t over think it. When you lean on the knowledge you’ve gleaned from my training, you channel your anxiety to make everyday an easy day. You surprise yourself. When you achieve new performance levels, together, we’ll set new stretch goals.” He’s not kidding about together, since he’s often seen training right along side his clients, chanting “easy day.” One client says,” Sidney’s awesome. He’s a freak. I love him.” Another client says, “I want to clobber him when he ends my session with ‘easy day’ but instead I ask: ‘What time tomorrow?’ ”

When Sidney’s not training or modeling, he can be seen ripping up the dance floor from the East Village to the Meat Packing district in New York City. He has appeared on Law & Order, CSI and MTV – as well as ads for GUESS and RocaWear. His interests include hip hop, mixed martial arts, hanging with friends and shooting pool, rock climbing, playing basketball, football, and boxing.
