Physical and Psychological Preparation For Crisis Scenarios
To say that the modern populace has gone soft in terms of survival preparation for crisis or disaster is an understatement.
Now is the time to fix all that and start preparing for any crisis situation, including criminal menace.
Although you already know the demands of physical training on the body, you should also learn how to apply what you understand about physical training to real-life situations in which you may have to beat back an enemy to defend yourself.
Going to the gym to build your muscles is good, but no amount of weight lifting will not teach you how to protect yourself on the street.
Now you know that to become combat-ready, not just any physical training will do.
There is a world of difference between exercising your body to look good on a photograph and training your body to withstand combat scenarios which may alter from low intensity to high intensity over a matter of minutes.
Are you in shape for combat? Efficient self-defense training should actively include the full spectrum, including reactions to violence, like consciousness, tactical evasion, when to flight, and verbal self defense (also known as trash talking in some circles).
Preparation must not be confined by just physical aptitude to kick your attacker in the shin, no matter how strong.
One can assume then that combat fitness is more than just about physical strength, it's about mental readiness to take on an enemy that has the ability to endanger your life.
But, psychological willingness for a predicament follows after you have taught your body to endure and keep at bay any physical attack.
Having the physical capacity to defuse a menace gives you confidence.
Learning the strategies that will give you an edge over a physical danger can make you calmer in the face of danger.
Conflict preparedness is not just about tools.
It is also about your competence to fight even without your equipment.
That is why unarmed combat is something that is emphasized in the military and in self defense educational institutions all over the country.
You should be able to protect yourself and your family with or without a firearm.
Ditch the Victim Mentality Your worst enemy isn't the criminal who wants to grab your bag, it is your approach toward conflict in general.
Being a victim is not just a situation, it is a mindset.
Not everyone realizes it, but we have been trained to think like victims by society in general.
For years, we have heard people say we should steer clear of conflict.
This is a good code.
We should never create conflict and we should always go for the diplomatic way to resolve things.
But what isn't usually talked about by anybody is how one ought to face conflict when it can no longer be prevented.
When conflict comes flying at you and you need to protect yourself, you can only rely on your physical training and resolute spirit to fight back.
While it will do you good to keep a weapon handy, as well as a list of emergency numbers to call should you encounter an intruder inside your home, it would be best if you also learned the concepts of genuine self defense.
By real self defense we mean those unarmed combat tactics that troopers apply in the combat zone when their life is in danger.
