    e293 – KUDEN! – When Training Fails Under Pressure – What Real Prepardness Actually Requires
    Jan 20 2026
    One of the most uncomfortable realities in self-defense – and in workplace violence response – is that skilled, well-intentioned people are sometimes overwhelmed by attackers with little or no training. Not because their training is bad. Not because they lacked effort or commitment. But because the assumption built into that training collapses under real pressure. […]
