Os princípios adquiridos na Academia Top Defense, melhoram a vida do praticante em todos os aspectos. No âmbito profissional, o praticante leva vantagem: sua autoconfiança permite aceitar desafios, conviver com a competitividade, enfrentar dificuldades, bolar estratégias e assumir a liderança quando necessário. No convívio social, a auto-estima descontrai, o praticante é mais equilibrado e espontâneo e sua postura traz respeito e admiração. Sabe conviver com harmonia mesmo em meio hostil, pois não se sente tão vulnerável e está preparado para enfrentar a violência do cotidiano. Tem consciência dos danos que pode sofrer e/ou infringir e age com responsabilidade. Na vida escolar, a criança é mais tranquila ao mesmo tempo que é mais competitiva.
