Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantage does an attacker gain in a robbery?

Attackers gain an 'initiative deficit' by initiating the confrontation, controlling the tempo and environment. This allows them to dictate terms, but a prepared defender can exploit shifts in their attention to counter-attack effectively.

What is 'purposeful compliance' in self-defense?

Purposeful compliance means appearing to cooperate with an attacker while actively assessing the situation and waiting for an opportune moment to act, rather than immediate resistance or complete submission. It's about controlled de-escalation until a counter-attack is viable.

How important is draw speed in self-defense?

Draw speed is critical. Meeting national standards (around 1.93 seconds for first hit) indicates proficient training. Faster, controlled draws allow a defender to regain the initiative and neutralize threats more effectively before they can inflict harm.

What are 'boarding house rules' in self-defense?

'Boarding house rules' is a tactical concept for multi-attacker scenarios. It means engaging and neutralizing each threat sequentially, ensuring one attacker is dealt with before moving to the next, preventing them from coordinating or re-engaging.
