The 4 Steps to Action:
When confronted with the threat of violence, the mind goes through a series of steps to choose a response. These reaction stages include the following
1: Threat Recognition. In analyzing a potential violent situation, the mind must recongnize the danger and then process it.
2: Situation analysis. Once the mind recongizes the danger, it contemplates the possible outcome and takes in any additional clues that may be helpful in arriving at a choice of action.
3: Choice of action. After processing the danger's potential outcomes, the minds quickly considers available courses of action and chooses one. This leads to the final stage, action or inaction.
4: Action or Inaction. After the mind settles on a reaction, it propels the body into action or the paralysis of inaction.
Training improves this reaction flow by allowing you to quickly assess violent situations. Training ingrains the appropriate responses into your muscle memory. Whether the threat comes from a punch, choke, knife or gun, you will already know how to react.
