The Blademaster said stress...

Col. Rex Applegate and i discussed this several times. both shooting and hand to hand fighting had some common factors, training the reflexes for emergency stress response had a lot to do with success or not.
I love this topic. Who can tell us the physiological reactions to stress as pertains to this topic and how it impacts on your ability to respond to a threat?





STOP LOOKING IT UP!

All of the above, which also leads to degradation of fine muscle skills.

Kill, or be killed. Monkey stomp, or be monkey stomped.

Any fight I've ever been in I've felt that before it happened

Last time was this winter when some buddies and I were jumped by a group of punks

Check out your surroundings

What can you use and what could be used against you

How can you get out if you have to

How many bad guys are there - who should you stomp first

BIG Time Adrenaline Dump and all of it's insidious side effects !! Learning how to control yourself during that phase is imperative. Then, after the "Inducers" are gone, to be able to maintain a rational thought process and di..di.. in a proper fashion is in order !!

Yes I think we are talking about instinctive response of big muscle groups, or the whole body.

AM gave you the first one and primary casual factor. You guys should know this, your life depends on it - this is an OODA Loop killer.

Reaper and Blademaster are practically giving you the answers.
