Switching off

Post by Dave Stanswood on Mon Jun 30, 2008 11:15 am

Hi Lee,
I hope life is still good mate. I was wondering im aware of certain stages to access aggression and etc but how do you switch it on and off so damn quick. Its bloody scary and impressive i take a while to access it but find it goes after the first shot. Then when i try again i cannot switch it off and it haunts me for a while after training.

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,

I am not Lee but want to give a small answer if Lee doesn't mind.

It's done by anchoring and statemanagement. I don't know if you are familiar with those NLP terms?? If not ask Bob :-)

anchoring is about making a link between a certain state (aggression - calm alertness) and a switch like pinching your own nose and pinching your right pinkyfinger.

Statemanagement is about managing your mental state which gives YOU control about how you feel instead of reacting to external circumstances.

It's all about learning this and then practise. Lee and Bob are much better in explaining this and maybe can give you a few hints to get you started

Kind Regards,

Nick Engelen

Hi mate,
sorry for the delay in replying. In regards to access and management of aggression, the most important element is control. There is a clear difference between a voluntary burst of aggression called upon for a specific objective and mindless red mist that you have no control over what-so-ever.

Cultivated aggression is a trained state, used as a resource as and when required nothing more. In terms of accessing the most resourceful state/s during the full spectrum of a potentially violent confrontation, you need to understand that aggression is only one part of the equation.

Pre-fight, I want highly observant, confident and collected state. Conflict phase (the physical part) when I will implement my immediate, direct and explosive assault, this is when aggression is accessed, it will be gutteral and demonstrative will constant offensive forward pressure until the job's done.

Post-event, it now should be switched off, placing me back into the previous state of observation, so I can make a sensible decision, i.e. find an exit, drive a car safely, administer first-aid or talk to a police officer without incriminating yourself.

This requires a higher level of brain function and is not where your state of mind/body is, when your blasting through a threat. The aggressive part is only contained within the offensive skill-set, and only employed as and when needed.

So, you can see the need to cultivate control. Like anything worth having you need to put in the flight time. Repetition is the Mother to mastery. The kind of training that you need to cultivate the on/off switch incorporates both physical and mental conditioning drills, visualisation and state training. We have a couple of good DVD's on the subject as I'm sure your aware. I am also writing a book specific to the whole subject. Cheers
