Street Confrontation
that Turns Physical
In a street confrontation that turns physical anything can happen. Although the confrontation starts standing up and most believe it will remain there and just be a boxing match!
All physical confrontations start standing up and most wind up on the ground. You can wind up on the ground by being taken there by your attacker(bear hug take-down, leg sweep, punched and knocked down) or simply trip over your own feet in an attempt to getaway! However it happens doesn't matter! What matters is that you know how to defend, fight, and escape from the ground.
In your self defense training don't be one-dimensional! Learn how to fight in all the ranges, it can save your life!

Learn what it takes to defend yourself from the ground, in common life threatening situations. This workshop focuses on women's self defense techniques that are used if you have been knocked to the ground and/or an attacker is on top of you. These techniques are designed to help women deal with potentially dangerous situations.

Firearms Training Tip of the Week
|
|
Foot Work in Movement
Learn not only movement but foot work in movement. The purpose of moving and shooting is a tactical one. Such as moving from one form of cover to another or just escaping the area.
Forward Step:
Feet, knees, hips and shoulders squared to the target. Knees slightly bent. Feet roll - heel to toe. Short half steps are best with a faster pace to speed up the movement. Feet and knees remain linear and one should prevent the knees and feet from stepping out to the left or right.
Reverse Step:
Same movement as forward step except bend more at the knees and drop buttocks lower, this will allow weight distribution to stay forward and not lean back.
Step & Drag:
Step back with the strong foot and drag the support foot. This will allow the strong foot to encounter any obstructions behind you so that you can maintain balance and you do not trip or fall.
