Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'purposeful compliance' in self-defense?

'Purposeful compliance' is a defensive tactic where a victim complies with an attacker's demands to create an opportunity to gain a tactical advantage, such as waiting for backup or preparing to defend themselves.

How should one handle multiple attackers with firearms?

When facing multiple attackers, especially if one is armed, the priority is to gain a 'force monopoly' by neutralizing the armed threat first. Using a standard-capacity firearm can help manage multiple threats effectively.

Why is practicing from 'odd positions' important for self-defense?

Real-world defensive encounters rarely occur in ideal shooting stances. Practicing from 'odd positions' like staircases, vehicles, or awkward cover improves your ability to effectively engage threats when cover is unconventional.

What is the 'FIBS' effect in defensive encounters?

The 'FIBS' (Fudge, I've Been Shot) effect describes when an attacker believes they have been hit, even if the shot missed, potentially causing them to flee. However, relying on this is less effective than accurate shots.
