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.

BASEBALL BAT SCENARIO

Great work lads on this week's chosen scenario... Baseball Bat Attack!

After a 'Combat Calesthenics' warm up with S.P.E.A.R. System™ Drills & Skills, we isolated the P.I.A. (Primary Initiation Attack), analysing it through the 'Emotional Climate Training' filter.

This mentally records all the 'Pre-Contact Cues' throughout the whole timeline of the Baseball Bat Attack.

Then it's a matter of experiencing how it effects our 'Startle-Flinch' Reflex.

In the photos you can see a 'Primal' version (pure recoil & cover the head) vs a more 'Tactical' version where the Good Guy has seen it coming sooner, allowing him to move towards the threat!

The E.C.T. Drill develops clear recognition of the pre-contact cues of specific attacks, allowing the Good Guy a better chance of protecting himself, by converting his flinch into a Tactic quickly!

...Choose a Scenario, add some Bad Guy Role Play, with Verbal Aggression, Encroachment, Posturing, and the Attack... and you have a 'nice' BMF (Ballistic MicroFight™) to train.
