Advance Techniques (1) - Knife -related attack:
The sequence below represents a deconstruction of a perfect defence against an aggressive or violent attack. It’s broken into four (4) steps (From the Sequence) so the practitioner can analyze each step individually and improve their responses.
It is also simply a representation (watch the video for extra information) of the impact of time on each step in the sequence as you approach the threat. This is why not being in a state of awareness creates a domino effect, knocking down the other steps one by one, and at the same time reducing your chances of repelling an attack and allowing you to escape safely.
It is essential to practice daily in order to strengthen the skills outlined above. This includes scanning your environment using your peripheral vision, actively monitoring ongoing events, and observing various objects and elements around you—such as people, food, vehicles, rooms, hallways, elevators, and emergency exits. The goal is to recognize potential threats, describe them clearly to others, mentally simulate possible responses, and act at the right moment with the appropriate response to avoid irreversible consequences.
For this reason, it’s not enough to simply detect and monitor events in your surroundings. You must also assess how various objects and elements may influence your desired outcomes—whether that be your intent, goals, objectives, or long-term dreams.
