Developing Balance, Looseness, Body Unity and Sensitivity By Yourself
Think about how you might approach dealing with multiple assailants
and what you need to emphasize in your training. One suggestion is this:
Hang 3 small bean bags from a ceiling. Each bean bag should hang
at a different height. One could be at head height, the second could
be at shoulder height and the third at chest height. They should encircle you.
Next, push each one around with various hand weapons slowly and don't
let any one of them touch you.
Next, touch each one as they come into range lightly, causing them
to move even more erratically. Don't let any bag touch you. Step up
the speed very slowly and keep moving and ducking so as not to be hit
while simultaneously lightly striking the bags. Be conscious of where
all 3 are at all times. Remain very loose and pliable.
Next, repeat this while standing on a wobble board. Go very slowly.
Keeping a slow pace will develop your balance more than going fast.
Balance and body unity are the goals here as well as accuracy.
Speed up only for fun; don't think negative if hit or if you lose balance.
Just say, "Oh well" and continue for a comfortable time. If you feel
frustrated stop and relax. Start again when relaxed. After a good while
we can add the feet to this. Hope you enjoy this exercise.
CRITICAL BALANCE, BODY UNTIY, LOOSENESS AND SENSITIVITY DRILLS
CAN BE FOUND ON THE ATTACKPROOF COMPANION PART 2
AND COMBAT CONDITIONING DVDS
NOTE: The Companion Part 2 explains all the principles and their related drills
in depth. The Combat Conditioning DVD is a straight solo workout DVD with
just the drills back-to-back and no explanations. Comes with an awesome
Native American-inspired soundtrack.
WHEN TO ACT
From the desk of ICMAF President Bradley Steiner
The Officer shall remain anonymous. Apparently, our tactics work!--Brad
During early-morning hours, in a hotel lobby in TN last week, a police
officer who was armed, but not in uniform, was confronted by three masked,
armed, robbery suspects.
The robbery was already in progress when the unsuspecting officer walked in
on the scene!
At gunpoint, the officer was confronted and ordered to prone-out on the
floor. All three suspects, although only in their 20s, were already
multiply-convicted, violent, career criminals.
The officer, started to comply, but then suddenly drew his pistol and
fired, striking all three astonished suspects. The injured trio immediately
fled, but were apprehended shortly thereafter. Two are 'critical," one "
stable." The officer was not injured, nor were any other innocent parties at
the scene. Not one of the suspects ever fired a shot!
This question comes up often: When thus confronted at gunpoint, or, when a
VCA is in the process of taking a family-member hostage, how long do I wait
before taking unilateral action?
The answer is, as always: It's your call!
But, here are some things to consider:
Your attackers are at their weakest and most disorganized at the beginning
of the ordeal. As the confrontation goes on, they will increase their
control, as your options dry up, one by one. When you assume the posture they
demand, allow them to search you, allow them to tie you up, et al, in the
end you'll have no options. Likewise, when you allow them to escape with a
family member under their control, you'll likely never see that family
member alive again!
A student says, "... when someone has me at gunpoint, if I move, they'll
likely shoot!"
There is no satisfactory, nor comfortable answer to that. All I can say
in reply is, "You're dead anyway!"
When you act with precise, but overwhelming, force, you may yet prevail.
When you dither, there is little hope for your survival.
Everyone wants the "no-risk" solution. This is fantasy! There is no
such thing. "Doing nothing" is never risk-free, nor is any other solution you
're contemplating.
The officer in the case dared boldly, and he snatched a stunning victory
from the jaws of certain death.
Good show!
The rest of need to think about it. As I've made it a habit of saying,
your Test is coming!
Who are not armed, trained, ready, and courageously prepared to act
decisively, right now, have surrendered most of their options before the fight
even starts!
DON'T DIE WITH YOUR GUN IN YOUR HOLSTER!
THE GUIDED CHAOS WEAPONS SERIES
From the military to civilians and even the police-- knife, gun and stick fighting is often taught unrealistically. Based on the brutal, bloody, forensic homicide research of former detective John Perkins plus Perkins' over 100 seriously violent arrests, this comprehensive 4 part DVD series separates film fantasy from forensic fact and dojo delusions from real combat.
