The Four Crucial Elements of Physical Confrontation

Hii Everyone !!!


The 4 Elements are :--

1. Space--
What distances are involved ?

2. Time--

  • Is a response required instantly, or can it be postponed until backup arrives? 
  • If instantly, is the attack itself to be fast or slow-- both can work.
3. Line of attack--

  • Is the primary threat overhead, lateral, in front or behind ?
  • Where are the secondary dangers ?
4. Posture or Stance--

  • Physical, mental and spiritual aspects work together to provide a stance.
  • Physically, it is best to stand diagonally to an opponent, with the weapon back, so it can be protected.
  • Mentally, we need to be alert for movement around us, aware of the physical surroundings and thinking about their advantages and limitations.
  • Spiritually, we need to maintain a calm, professional attitude, since we react more appropriately if calm than if emotional or angry.

Thanks for Reading !!!
