Dear Friend:

Let's continue on with the next two "D's" of personal combat -- here's #3.

3.Disruption – Basically this is any tactic or technique that messes with your opponent’s plan of attack. Understand that once again we’re dealing with simple human psychology. Whether your opponent is a Predator, Emotionally Hijacked, or a Bully, one thing is certain. He’s threatening you because he “envisions” in his mind’s eye that this will all turn out to his benefit. Believe me, the picture show in his head doesn’t show that he will be hurt or killed. Nope. The movie in his head has a happy ending for him.

So the point of “Disruption” is to make it clear to him that his plans of easy victory are nothing but a fantasy. You need to screw up his little plans, take away his options, and “convince” him as quickly as possible that this could end very badly for him. The faster you can get that through his head, shift HIS focus inward – and get him “back on his heels” -- the better off you’ll be.

Here’s a few ways to “disrupt” his plans.

4.Destruction – The fourth and final “D” in the “Four D’s Of Personal Combat” is Destruction. This involves breaking down your opponent physically to remove him from the fight using your own personal “arsenal” of fighting tricks. Okay, this may sound like a fancy way of saying “kicking his ass”, but there’s actually more to it. The better you understand his vulnerable targets and the specific striking techniques to attack those targets, the more effective a fighter you’ll be.

The two most critical elements for effective Destruction are, 1) target selection and, 2) how you’ll strike that target. The key is to attack the targets that’ll give you the most bang for the buck – ie targets that’ll produce instant results with high-damage potential.

What’s surprising is that even an unsuccessful attack on a high damage target so “disrupts” your opponent’s evil plans (spinning up his internal dialogue) that he’s suddenly putty in your hands.

For example, Fight-Fast instructor Tom Cruse points out that many times the “elbow snap” technique (designed to break your opponents elbow) does not always break the elbow. But the horrid reality that you attempted to bust his arm like a twig is so disturbing to your opponent that his “internal dialog” can turn him into that deer in the headlights. This can all but shut down his ability to vigorously fight back as he unconsciously switches to a more defensive mode.

This is the value of high-damage targets. If you succeed (break his elbow for example) in most cases the fight’s over (although I’ve seen determined fighters battle with a broken arm flopping in the wind, so don’t take that for granted). On the other hand if you don’t succeed, the “Surprise and Shock” value is high and triggers his internal dialogue. In that case you can take advantage of his hesitation and continue your forward pressure attack.

      Now busting up people is serious business that involves one or more of the following: blood, hospitals, jails and morgues. So you must ask yourself a couple of questions. The first is:

“Am I willing to hurt this person?”

You’d better be damn sure that what you’re about to inflict on this guy will be justifiable in front of a judge.

      Ask yourself this before any confrontation as pondering this question during a confrontation is bad idea. You need to be clear about what will trigger an all out attack from you and what you’ll simply walk away from.

Okay... assuming there’s a definite threat and you’ve answered the first question “yes” – you must act. So the second question is:

“What is my target?”

The next question is.

“What is my next target?”

And so on. Keep going until the threat has ended or you have the chance to get the hell outta there.

There's a lot more ground to cover -- so stay with me.

Til next time...

Bob Pierce
     Head Honcho, TRS/FightFast

P.S. But hold on... there's MORE. Discover why -- at just 5 feet 6 inches tall, and maybe 140 pounds soaking wet (on a good day) -- Bob Taylor is widely regarded among the elite martial arts world.

He's perhaps the best "self educated" street fighter around. Nobody who knows about Bob's fighting abilities would ever willingly go up against him without packing a loaded shotgun. Hand to hand, you will lose a fight against him, no matter how big, or muscled, or experienced you are.

What's this got to do with you? Plenty. If you too are "size challenged", or usually find yourself looking up at people when they talk to you... this is the PERFECT fighting tactics system you could ever ask for. You don't need to be strong, or agile, or possess magic powers. In fact... your size is actually an ADVANTAGE in a fight.
