  1. Fight Flight Freeze Published by: https://rolandbal.com/fight-flight-freeze/

  2. In the UK, self-defence is permitted, with the caveat that no more than reasonable force is being used. This may be confusing but two recent cases clearly highlight what is unreasonable and what is not. Do you want to learn more? Visit fight-flight-freeze. Both cases are, in their own way, shocking. Returning from a night out, Munir Hussein and his father were arrested and tied up as their house was ransacked. If they did not comply the burglars tried to destroy the children. The warning was finally raised, and the burglars fled screaming. Hussein and his brother pursued one of the criminals and beat him badly, breaking a cricket bat into three pieces while doing so! Omari Roberts, in another instance, arrived home for lunch to find two burglars. In a fight for his life he ended up stabbing one in the leg and killing the other. Hussein went to jail but was released on appeal whereas Roberts had dropped all charges when he was about to begin his trial. Put clearly Roberts used the energy needed to protect himself when Hussein didn't even protect himself when he conducted the burglar assault.

  3. The freeze, fight or flight answer has kicked in in serious circumstances like these mentioned. Hardwired this reaction is an important evolutionary process to result in survival. If the danger is detected, the powerful combination of endocrine and neural activity produced allows a person ready to use the correct response; freeze, battle, escape! Have a look at fight-flight to get more info on this. The trouble is that the body does not understand reasonable force, it is in mode of survival. And the must live. An emotional response to the threat will help prepare for the struggle, if that is the selected answer. Adrenaline and cortisol flood the system which poses a problem with logical judgement.

  4. The two perpetrators are easy to empathize with. They had invaded their homes and their lives were in danger, and perhaps even those of their loved ones. Of necessity, they were within their privileges to protect themselves. The irony is that the case ending in the perpetrator's death was considered self defense. Those issues are applicable to all martial artists. Firstly, we must be confident that we recognize fair force Secondly, when under attack we need to be able to work within those constraints Third, we need to understand and incorporate stress response in our training

  5. Self-defense experts often refer to the response to stress as something to overcome in a situation of self-defence. I like to think of it as an educable device. It is, after all, an evolutionary mechanism built to bring about survival. Overcoming sabre tooth tigers is in position, can we sure use it in our training?
