It's All In Transition


 

Sunday we had a great seminar at the local Krav Academy. We worked on firearm and knife defenses. 


To be honest, we didn't work a ton of techniques...

As a matter of fact we worked on one pistol disarm for two solid hours?!


I Know What You're Thinking...

How in Sam Hill do you work on one simple technique for two solid hours?!

We broke down and drilled all the different transitions that made up the technique and drilled each piece of the full move. 

We "thin sliced" every aspect of the entire maneuver to dial in the transitions (of course we recorded it. It'll be available to Premium PeaceWalker Members.

After you get a command of the basic technique, the magic is really in the transitions...

How you 'frame' the situation. 

Where you stand.

How you place your body.

Where and when you move.

How you blend in with your adversary and the tactical space. 

How smooth and fluid you are.

Much of your success (or failure) is in your ability to manage those blimey transitions!

That's Not All!

Those pistol disarms aren't the only things that rely on transitions...

So is your Life!

We are always in some type of transition, so if you are not learning how to smooth them out and navigate them well, it's going to be a rough ride at the least! 

A lot of conflict comes from people who don't know how to manage their own Life's transitions. 

We Have a Transition Going On Right NOW...

There's a transition going on RIGHT NOW! Our society is in a big transition between old and new norms largely fueled by technology! 

The past few years have been some precarious times and I believe we have more coming down the pipe. 

Not all bad mind you, but if you get caught in the gap so to speak, you'll not just get left behind, you're likely to get squished. 

It's a good time to be a ninja and learn how to deal with trends and transitions yourself! 

This training can really help you... And I'm not just talking about learning Krav Maga (although that's part of it!). These PeaceWalker Skills are critical for people now-a-days.

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

Attracting An Assault?!

  I thought I'd share something interesting about how criminals, predator's, thugs and bullies profile their victims.  Remember I told you the other day, that I was listening to one of Jocko Willink's podcasts?  He was talking about this subject and refenced some research old and newer.  ~ The 1982 study  Attracting Assault: Victims' Nonverbal Cues  by Grayson / Stein ~Marked by Mayhem -  Psychology Today by Hustmyre & Dixit, 1/1/09 Well, I revisited that research and something interesting stuck out like a fart in study hall. Something we talk about all the time at the academy and when I teach seminars and workshops.  Organization. As in being in Kamae. What?! You know being wholistically organized. Here's what Grayson and Stein had to say (paraphrased): The prime difference between perceived victim and non-victim groups revolves around "wholeness" or consistency of movement. Non-victims have an organized quality about their movements. They function co

Learn to (Ice) Fish?!

Image
  Typically, people come to the academy, take a course or hire me to train their group to solve a problem.  They want a solution to a situation that has happened, or one that they're afraid of happening.  They want answers!  They want an effective  'technique'  to remedy what's ailing them.   They're hoping the course or training gives them the medicine.  And it might, however... Remember the old saying: "Give the man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime." Well, the same holds true when I am teaching people how to protect themselves, manage conflict and become better leaders.  I can show them a technique a.k.a. the solution to the situation a.k.a. "Give them the Fish, so to speak. At one level that's ok... It's a good start, at least they may eat for the day. However, to really be effective, simply learning techniques isn't enough (especially when it comes to handling conflict and violence). You'
