This week at PKM Wirral we have been working multiple attacker drills. One of the most common pieces of advice we hear is...

"JUST RUN AWAY..."

Whilst very practical advice, there are situations in which this is simply not an option.

⏩ PHYSICAL ABILITY/CONDITIONING- Are you faster/fitter than your attacker? Are you carrying an injury? When did you last sprint under adrenaline? Are you able to fight following a chase?

⏩ ENVIRONMENT - Are you in an unfamiliar location that could hinder your escape? Are you wearing clothing/footwear that could stop you running? Are you in a crowded location (Bus/Pub/Train etc.)?

⏩ PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS - The stress of a real fight is different from training. Emotions and adrenaline play a huge role when under physical duress.

When someone starts attacking you, the fear and stress can be paralyzing. These factors can be best prepared for with frequent and correct pressure testing.

⏩ THIRD PARTIES - Children and loved ones may not be able to run or protect themselves effectively without your intervention.

Instead of just advising people to run, we teach people to physically create realistic opportunities for escape. This involves consistent training in a reliable, tested combatives system.

INTENT….

Violent action should be avoided at all cost’s.

However, when there is no other peaceful course available, we must gift an attacker every possible physical application as a way to reduce harm to ourselves and get home safely.

This you deserve…

This week at PKM we have been drilling the “Ballistic Clinch”.

When we are faced with a surprise, close range aggressor and conflict management fails, de-escalation becomes highly unlikely…

Our students are taught to shut them down immediately…

Close the range further and apply the closest weapon to the closest target. Headbutts and knees were on the menu today.

It all starts when you refuse to become a victim. Get in touch if you’d like to know more… SL

This week at PKM Wirral we have been focusing on dynamic striking. With emphasis on the following concepts:

➡️ Target acquisition
➡️ Target reference to avoid loss of attachment
➡️ Short range, focused, percussive strikes
➡️ Maintenance of a solid base via footwork

Our student is utilising hammerfist strikes to great effect.
