There are certain things that, as a man, you never want to happen. One of them is to lose the respect of your partner, family or friends.

I lost that all in that one day due to those scumbag muggers.

Myself and my girlfriend spent the next two weeks acting as though nothing had happened. But I saw the way that she looked at me differently. Love making felt as though she had lost respect for me as a man.

We had an amicable split but my girlfriend told one of her friends why we had split up and very soon the word had got around what had happened. My mates all took the micky out of me for crying. No matter how hard I tried to explain the fear and the situation we were in they all laughed saying "I'd have knocked them both out".

No. They wouldn't have. The fact of the matter is anyone who was in my situation without basic self defense training is in trouble. At the very least you will be humiliated. At the very worst you or your family could lose your lives.

After the mugging I didn't want to leave my house. I was scared of the outside world, and couldn't face my friends calling me "cry baby". I became a depressed recluse.

For weeks I ran over and over in my head what I'd do to the attackers if I saw them again. I imagined myself throwing a few moves and them ending up on the floor, both cying themselves.

At the same time as I was imagining it I also knew it was nothing but a fantasy. I wasn't made for that kind of thing. I was a good for nothing pansy.

Or was I?

One day whilst surfing the web I tried to google "self defense". A ton of results came up so I started digging around. It was time to put into practise a few moves that would enable me to defend myself in the future from anyone stupid enough to try to attack me.

Now whilst I was no expert in self defense I did have some experience. I had the experience of what it is like to be faced with a potentially deadly situation. And I knew how my body reacted when faced with violence.

The kinds of things I found had me laughing out loud.

One guy, who claimed to be the "Worlds Best Self Defense Expert", taught that if someone comes at you with a knife you need to hit them on a pressure point just by their collarbone. "It's the size of a penny but if you hit the chump there he's going down...BOOM!".

What a load of bullshit.

Another instructor taught how to pick up a chair and wrap it round someone's skull. "If someone insults your wife this is what you need to do" he explained.

I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing.

As I found out when faced with a violent situation your body will react with what is called an "adrenaline dump". This is to aid your muscles with enough power to run away or to attack with more force than you would be able to without the adrenaline. It has evolved from the days of the caveman.

Now, when your body is rushed with adrenaline, two things happen.

Firstly your mind starts to go in all different directions making it virtually impossible to think straight. This is why I froze and couldn't do anything.

Secondly complex body movements such as a spinning kick (martial arts style) just won't happen because the adrenalin has essentially made your muscles more "heavy" with power.

Are you beginning to see how ridiculous the concept of prodding a pressure point the size of a penny in someone's shoulder is when they come up with you a knife? It would get you killed. It's as simple as that.

The problem is, that ALL self defense courses I read, watched and attended (trust me I spent months trying and thousands of dollars trying to find the perfect that system that worked in the real world. I was just about to give up ever knowing how to protect myself and my loved ones, and admitting to myself that if I/we were attacked I'd just have to endure the humiliation, when something life changing happened.

I was speaking to a family member one day and she told me I looked as though I was losing weight. I explained that it was due to self defense classes I'd been attending but that I was about to give up. They were useless.

"Oh are you into that kind of thing? You should see Mike"

"Erm...who's Mike?"

I sat, mouth agape, as my aunt started to tell me one of those fascinating "I shouldn't really tell you this" types of stories.

Mike (Call sign "One Three Charlie") had:

5th Dan Master Mike is an ex- British Infantryman for HM forces

He has an extensive career as a professional bodyguard for VIP's such as Cynthia Rothrock ( Hollywood Martial Arts Superstar) , World Champion Karate and Kickboxer Bill "Superfoot" Wallace and Andra Franett ( World Karate Champion ). That's right. He was bodyguard to world champion martial artists!

Mike was the founder and Chief Instructor of a major British Taekwondo school that was established in 1981.

He has taught / coached several national and international champions and Olympic medalists amongst them are Paul Green, Jemma Johnson, Aaron Cook, Sarah Stevenson, Louise Gill and Gareth Brown - to name a few.

Master Mike is one of the most experienced coaches in Great Britain having coached at World Olympic selection/qualifying for the 2000 Olympic Games in Croatia

And finally my aunt Rose explained Mike trained the best in the world in basic self defense moves. These including Royal Marine Commandos, Infantry Soldiers, Gurkers,Paratroopers, the UK Police Force, Field Gun Crews and other specialist units. That's right, the worlds toughest soldiers learned from HIM how to defend themselves!

Whoever Mike was, I had to talk to him. My aunt arranged for me to go and see him the following week.

We were in his garage, which is proof that you can learn and perfect this defense system anywhere, as he showed me a series of simple yet devastating techniques that can be used by anyone regardless of their age, sex, height or weight.

As he showed me these moves I couldn't help smiling to myself. Mike saw me smiling, a smile he had seen in thousands of his students before, and simply said the words that I knew meant my life would never be the same again...

"Feels good doesn't it, knowing that at any point you can take out someone who's enough of a bad guy to try and hurt you"

It did feel good. Really good. I instantly felt more confident. In fact, so much more confident I went into the pub for the first time since the attack (three months ago).

And something crazy happened...

I walked in and my mate Jon shouted out "cry baby, how you doing?" as I walked through the door. I walked in and held my hand out and looked him in the eye. He shook my hand and I performed a cheeky trick with the thumb Mike showed me. Nothing bad, not a lot of pressure on it, just enough to make Jon wince.

I turned confidently to the lads and asked if anyone wanted a drink. They all nodded, speechless at how I'd managed to get Jon to shut up so easily.

As I walked through the bar people moved out of the way, whereas before they'd have stood there. It was as if in one short hour I had developed a superhuman power.

I hadn't of course. Something special had happened in less than an hours time spent learning Mike's techniques.

Now if I were the other self defense web sites out there I'd be relaying a story to you of how I kicked a few punks heads in for trying to insult me. But that would be a lie. And that's not what happens in the Real World.

You see in the real world we DON'T want to get into any violent situations unless we absolutely have to. Even Mike Tyson can get his ass kicked if he ends up in the wrong situation. So in the Real World we want to do two things. Avoid the situation if possible, and if it's not have simple moves to enable you to get out of the situation as quick as you can.

What is amazing is that within the hour I had spent with Mike something had changed in me. At the time I didn't know what it was. I rang Mike after the pub to thank him and explain that people were now moving out of the way of me and he just laughed. He explained I better get used to it.

You may or may not know this but throughout every single day your body is giving off little signals that give you away. Small eye movements that others won't see with their conscious mind but their unconscious mind will pick up on. These sub communications can be in your walk, in your voice...anything.

What had happened was now I had learned to kick anyone's ass if they tried to hurt me or my family I was now sub communicating that I knew how to handle myself.

I haven't been attacked or even come close to a violent situation since. Funny that.

It's been quite a while since I learned Mike's simple self defense system. Since then I am a much more confident guy. This led to me meeting an amazing new girlfriend (much hotter than the b*tch that left me after the mugging!) and walking through the world KNOWING that I can protect both her and myself if need be (although it's much less likely to ever happen now due to my sub communications).

To go from the humiliation of the mugging, to being a dominant male is something truly indescribable. To go from being a pansy who wets themselves during a mugging to being able to take out any low life who dares attack me or my loved ones is one of the most comforting feelings in the world. And that's why I had to speak to Mike.

I gave Mike a phone call and explained that there are millions of men and women around the world who need to learn his system, or risk being humiliated or hurt with their family, and needed to learn it fast.

Mike told me that there are only so many hours in a day. He can't teach any more than he already does. He'd love to help, but time doesn't permit him to do so.

Then I had a brainwave...

I told Mike that these days everything is bought via the internet. Gone are the days when you were worried about buying things online, people spend money online every single day to download all types of courses.

I came up with a simple way that Mike's teachings could go global!

I told Mike that if he was game I was going to hire a professional film crew and record one of his legendary self defense lessons that took someone from zero to hero in just one short hour.

Mike agreed. One one condition. "You have to blur out my face Jack. As you well know I have a history as a service man with the British Army...I've been a bodyguard to Hollywood stars...I'd prefer if my identity was kept under wraps if that was ok. Better blur out my face"

Done. I was hardly going to argue with the guy was I?

You can be watching the recording within minutes.

Listen. I know how much bullsh*t is out there when it comes to self defense. Most of it is pie in the sky rubbish that, as I've explained, will just get you injured or worse.

I also know that like any sane human being you want to know how to protect yourself and your family.

So here's what I'm going to do...

Sign up at the link at the bottom of the page. You can be watching the videos in minutes. You don't need any equipment. Everything can be learned from your own home.

If at ANY TIME within the next eight weeks you don't feel that this is a system that can save your life, or for any reason at all, drop me an email and I'll refund all of your money. No questions asked.

No other self defense program offers that kind of guarantee. But then, hey, none of the other self defense programs work. Real World Protection does. And that's why I am happy to offer a two month guarantee. I know you're going to love it.

Look, I don't want you to ever experience the pain and humiliation I went through after the mugging. I want you to walk through the world as I do now, knowing that you can protect yourself and your loved ones from any attacks.

At the same time I need to get people to this web site. And advertising costs money. So I can't give these videos away for free.

Instead I have come to a compromise.

Whilst others charge a hundred bucks or more for a self defense course (that probably doesn't work) you can gain access to the Real World Protection members area for just $39.95. That's a one time payment.

Now I'll be brutally honest with you here. I'm not going to mince my words. If yours or your families life isn't worth that then quite frankly I don't want you learning this self defense system anyway. This is only for those who aren't cowards or whingers in life.

Remember with an eight week money back guarantee you have no excuse. Sign up today.
