When in a fight.

Jakes21 · 06-10-2008, 01:52 PM

Hi guys im new here,tell me when u think about it afterwards when u are in a actual real fight do u see the opponent face,body or do u see a blury vision?

**Hardball** · 06-10-2008, 02:11 PM

I see the center of his body. I split his body right down the middle with my minds eye.

I try to focus on everything. You should think about his description to the police. Describe the offender in detail for future refrence.

Or destroy him.

It's just another subject to arrest or investigate.

Leaving your mark can make ID easier.

It's just happening, so I'm seeing, but I'm not paying attention to what's happening.

But no it's not blurry, and yes I can see him, but generally I would be more interested in his movement than his features.

I think the more experience you have in a given situation/experience the more calm you remain throughout and the more you can 'observe' while you're in the middle of it.

I had a similar experience when I was chasing a shoplifter. One minute I was inside the store, the next I was on the parking lot and don't remember maneuvering through the doors. (I should point out that I wasn't in security, I was just a clerk and didn't do this on a regular basis.) I'm assuming this is all part of the "adrenaline dump". Anyone else have any insight on the matter?

Memory loss or event amnesia is very common with adrenal induced stress. For more on the science of stress you should look at Peyton Quinn's books.

There are memory exercises you can perform that will minimize the so called event amnesia.

Tunnel vision and auditory exclusion are also "normal" with adrenal reactions.

Sometimes folks don't remember hearing a gunshot even when they fired it themselves...

Most instructors in military combat and RBSD say to look at your opponent with whats called bird vision.

You eep your opponent in your sight but you look past him. This puts you into what is called "reptilian brain". This also causes you not to react until the opponent or a part of the opponent is within your range. It helps cut down on reacting to feints.

King,

That's how I view my opponents in a fight.

Jakes21 · 06-20-2008, 09:36 AM

Usefull stuff,but how does testosterone levels influence your fighting capability?if any?

eXcessiveForce · 06-20-2008, 11:10 AM

Testosterone is a hormone, Levels are regulated by the body, or they can be manipulated with steroids and such.

Testosterone helps build muscle, can lead to aggression, and cause baldness.

So the effects are wide ranging, but it's not something you would concern yourself with during a fight. There isn't much you can do about your levels unless you are doping.
