Do You Know What Really Happens To Your Body
When Frightened? ..... Let Me Explain Why Learning Gross Motor Movement Techniques Are Your Best Chance Of Survival.
To understand why Close Combat techniques work you first have to understand what actually happens
to your body during a true self-defense situation.
Depending on your physical fitness level, your heart typically beats at 60-80 beats per minute. This
is known as a resting heart rate and everything in your sympathetic nervous system is performing normally. But when frightened
to 115 beats per minute, your fine motor skills deteriorate. The ability to put a key in a car door or even tie your shoes
becomes increasingly difficult.
Interestingly enough this 115 until 145 beats per minute is the optimal survival and combat performance
level for complex motor skills, visual reaction time, and cognitive thinking. Complex motor skills are multi-muscle involved
movements as found in all martial arts. Reverse punch, front kick, wrist lock, arm bar, hip throw, etc. This is the target
heart rate of most professional athletes and fighters. They are able to stay at this rate because they know that no one is
trying to kill them.
If you are able to train your body to respond appropriately
to fear induced stress under competitive conditions, you will be better able to survive during battle.
At 145 beats per minute, your complex motor skills immediately begin to deteriorate. And at 175 you
can't think straight, you lose peripheral vision, your hearing excludes everything not in that tunnel vision, and vasoconstriction
sets in as a natural way to reduce bleeding from any wounds you're about to suffer. Finally, above 175 is where irrational
fight or flight sets in, as well as natural submissive behavior, combat freezing, and the emptying of your bladder and bowels.
At this point the ONLY movement ability you have left is gross-motor skills. Running, charging, and
the wide arcing of your limbs. And this is exactly where Close Combat techniques operate. At the gross-motor movement level.
And therefore can still be performed perfectly and effectively under any level of fear induced combat stress.
What this all means
is that; You can be frightened for your very life, faced with a gun, being held at knife point, or being attacked by someone
bigger, stronger, and meaner than you, and you will have a better chance at saving your life by using Close Combat techniques.
Plain and simple. No other martial art or self-defense method can say this. (Even a gun can't be used effectively at 175 beats
per minute! You'd miss the broad side of a barn at that heart rate)
WOW!!!......Hard
