Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Initiative Deficit' in self-defense?

The 'Initiative Deficit' refers to the inherent disadvantage defenders face because attackers choose the time, place, and method of engagement, forcing defenders to react rather than act proactively.

What are the '5 D's + 1' in self-defense?

The '5 D's + 1' framework includes Distance, Deflect, Dominate, Distract, and Disarm, followed by Partner Tactics. It's a structured approach to managing a violent encounter and potentially neutralizing a threat.

How important is distraction in disarming an attacker?

Distraction is crucial. Causing pain, breaking an attacker's balance, or creating a sudden diversion can create the necessary opening to successfully disarm them of their weapon.

What are the key considerations for partner tactics in self-defense?

Effective partner tactics involve coordination, clear communication, and knowing precisely what to do with a seized firearm to prevent accidental discharges or losing control of the weapon again.
