Welcome to Part 2 of the Attached Striking Programme. Part 1 got some fantastic reviews and I am really looking forward to sharing this next part of the training with you.
As a reminder, attached striking (aka someone holding your clothing) is one of the most common self defence situations faced day to day, but is often missing from most Krav Maga or Self Defence classes.
This is why I created the Attached Striking Programme (ASP) to give you the structure you need to teach this to your students in your regular classes.
In part 1, you learnt the ABC model for decision making in conflict situations and we focused on the route of creating distance.
In part 2, the focus is on the alternative option of closing distance to clinch and control.
There are 2 main reasons why you may need to close distance in an altercation.
-
The Context - Based on what is happening, you are unable to move away - for example, when with family members, loved ones or work colleagues.
-
The Environment - You are in a confirmed space, in a vehicle or in a place that you cannot leave, such as your own home.
Part 2 is more challenging to teach because most human beings are not programmed to move towards danger, moving away feels safest, instinctive and it’s what happens most of the time.
But when creating distance is not possible you must give your students the skills and the confidence to close distance.
As we discussed in Part 1, staying on the spot and not moving is extremely dangerous. All training must focus on fast decision making, and that involves moving, as early as possible to limit the impact of the situation and potential harm.
In Part 2 you will learn:
- How to choose objectively proven techniques to integrate into your training sessions
- The different between ‘possible and probable’ when choosing techniques.
- How to assess techniques and their level of relative effectiveness.
- Useful drills to help your students grow in confidence to close distance and clinch to control.
Attached striking training is something that Krav Maga and Self Defence Instructors must not ignore.
Enrol on this course today and continuing your learning on to the next stage.
