Self-Defense. Mainly needed for sparring and bag work. Gloves, shin pads, body protection, mouth guard, groin guard, training weapons.

Parkour. Loose 'long' clothing (tracksuits are good), parkour shoes, gloves, knee and elbow pads, crash mat.

Swimming. Goggles, ear plugs.

It is also wise to remove jewelry and anything else that might get caught on something.

Although tapping out is a fight training term, you should apply it to all the activities. The would translate to knowing when to quit. When you go too hard you get fatigued and are more likely to make poor decisions and/or 'slip up'.

There is no shame in tapping out. It is better to stop early so you can train tomorrow. This doesn't mean you shouldn't push yourself. Constant improvement is important. Just don't over-push yourself. It's a fine line and everyone is different. If in doubt, quit too early rather than too late.

The skills in the Survival Fitness Plan are fun and exciting to learn. You may want to 'jump' ahead and learn the 'cool' stuff right away.

Don't do this!

Learn the fundamentals well and revisit them often. Only progress when you are ready.

The Survival Fitness Plan training app will naturally progress you through the skills. But everyone is different. In the end, you are the one that knows when you are ready to level up.

A good analogy for this is a gap jump in parkour. Maybe the gap is only a meter wide, but how far is the drop? Are you risking serious injury or worse? The chances of you not making it are slim, but things are unpredictable. Is there a slippery spot you couldn't see, or perhaps you stumble on a pebble.

In training you get to access these things. In a real-life scenario you may not have time. A good rule of thumb is that if doing something is too dangerous for training, then it's too dangerous in real life.

Another big factor for being sensible is to only train with a clear mind. If you are under the influence, it is better to skip training. Or better still, don't be under the influence. Drugs and alcohol are bad for longevity!

If you are fatigued, do less risky activities. And if you are injured, rest!

And don't ever skip warming up before your training session and cooling down (mobility) after.

It will also teach you how to literally save lives in case of serious injuries, especially if you are training outdoors, e.g., mountain bike riding.

By incorporating safe training practices into your routine, you will be able to make progress while minimizing the risk of setbacks due to injury.
