Summary: TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-416- Dealing With Violent Confrontations and was first published on April 14th, 2010. The following are the original show notes from that episode. After spending a week with Val Riazanov on systema and Russian martial arts and filming the new DVD series I thought it might be a good day to do a show on dealing with potentially violent confrontations. Join me today as we discuss… Real violence vs. movie violence The morals of the criminal, he has none Professional = death when it comes to killing The first rule is avoiding the confrontation If you can’t avoid it focus on deescalation If deescalation fails at times controlled retreat is the best option You should always appear relaxed and “harmless” When you do strike it must be with sufficient force for the situation Pressure points are useless in full speed combat, anatomy points are critical The “systema strike” – misunderstood and highly effective Dealing with an armed opponent takes things to another level The knife is the oldest consistently deadly weapon for a reason In dealing with an opponent with a gun 1.5-2 meters is “critical distance” Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
