¡WARNING GRAPHIC!• • It’s important to understand that inaction is a decision.• • When observing behavior that does not match the baseline, having a threshold for decision making is vital to making a decision and taking action.• • @thecpjournal uses the combat rule of (3) - meaning if (3) anomalies or deviations from the baseline are observed, you must make a decision. Keep in mind that this is a heuristic or rule of thumb - in some cases, as shown in this video, a singular deviation is enough to understand the intent of an individual and action should be taken - whether it be escape, preemptively strike, counter-strike, etc.• • Observe, make a decision, execute, review - ignoring anomalies will not solve the problem or keep you safe.• • Follow @stayingsafe_selfdefense for more breakdowns.• • Disclaimer: Most violent encounters provide many concepts and principles to learn from. The point of my posts are to breakdown a particular incident into a few digestible concepts; not to provide full commentary on all lessons to be learned.•Maintaining composure and breaking the freeze response during a high stress encounter is a key component for a favorable outcome.• • It doesn’t matter if it is a violent encounter, medical emergency, or a situation similar to this video; remaining as calm as possible will allow you to assess the situation, take in new data as it becomes available, and make decisions in a timely manner.
