CROSSFIT VELOCITY & SPEAR

Here are some photos of the Personal Defence Readiness™/ S.P.E.A.R. System™ Intro Course held at CrossFit Velocity, Swansea, in Wales last month.

We had a great time as the group was highly energetic (of course.... they're CrossFitters!!) and everyone really engaged fully into the material and physical drills & skills!

A huge thank you to Matt, who runs CrossFit Velocity, for organising the event and hosting the course at his box. What a great place!

We wish them every success for the 'Divided We Fall' Games this coming weekend:

We look forward to visiting them again in the New Year, to share some more training... probably Tactical Ground-Fighting or Weapon Protection topics.

SHIFTING TO HIGH GEAR™

Shout goes out to Miles and Kevin for a job well done in this week's Personal Defence Readiness™ Class. It was their first time training in the HIGH GEAR™ Impact Reduction Suits!

Training in these protective suits certainly enables you to take training to a whole new level!

This week we focused on dealing with the ambush moment via converting the Startle-Flinch reflex and then using striking tools against a dynamic moving target (Bad Guy in High Gear) in a non-sparring like manner but with a 'street' emphasis instead!

Replicating probable street scenarios with real speed; real impact gives a 3 dimensional experience, allowing the Good Guy to fully understand the emotional, psychological and physical factors of a realistic confrontation.

This helps with Fear Management, boosts confidence and competence, and over time builds practical stress inoculation for aggressive confrontations and physical assaults.
