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.

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
