Strap in for another episode of TacticalPay Radio! This episode, we’re covering a topic that we’ve touched on before, but never quite as in depth. Self-defense is something often talked about when it comes to firearms… but there’s often a lot of misinformation that gets circulated. Our guest is Marc MacYoung, who is a true expert on the subject.
Marc is a pioneer in the self-defense world. He has published many books and DVDs on self-defense and everything related to it, based on his personal experiences growing up and working in dangerous environments. Most recently, he published What You Don’t Know Can Kill You: How Most Self-Defense Training Will Put You into Prison or the Ground. He knows exactly how to approach self-defense, because, as his website says “if it didn’t work, he wouldn’t be alive to talk about it.”

What You Don’t Know Can Kill You: How Most Self-Defense Training Will Put You into Prison or the Ground
“Most self-defense training, whether martial arts or firearms, is focused on instilling physical skills. Unfortunately, critical elements are being left out. This is commonly because your instructors don’t fully understand the topics covered in this book– or worse are completely unfamiliar with this information. Information that will keep you out of the hospital or prison. If your instructor doesn’t know it, how is he going to teach it to you?
For example: – Do you know when you claim self-defense you are confessing to what is normally a crime? – Did your instructor ever tell you that? – Or did he – as so many instructors do – tell you what he’s teaching you is ‘self-defense?’ – How much of your training time has been spent on when to use that training? – When not to? – What about how crime and violence really happen? (Not knowing that you may not get a chance to use your training.) – How do you explain to the police that what you did was self-defense and not you attacking your fellow citizen? – What will you need to be able to do to prove your innocence in court? You’ll learn these and many more important topics in this introductory book about what you haven’t been taught about self-defense.”
