Visualization Training: Applying Appropriate Action on Fight Situation


Martial Lovers, a wise man said, "Life is a choice"

In martial training, we learn how to win any fight. There are fatal techniques and non fatal techniques we train. And there are also many choices we could apply on to win or survive in real fight. To simplify them, these are choices we could apply:

1. Killing or injuring opponent

2. Disarming or disabling opponent without injuring opponent

3. Disfighting opponent (persuading opponent, getting in a room, ignoring, and so on)

4. Fleeing

The choice we decide to do depends on situation we are facing with. It is a suggestion to visualize all fight situation in your mind, thus visualize what you will do to overcome them. Visualization training is important because there is almost no time to think in a real fight. What you will do spontaneously and borne by your unconscious mind.

Now let us start visualizing situation below. You should visualize these situation thus visualize your own action to overcome them. I will not give you answers. A situation may have 1 or 2 answers.

Situation 1

Your drunken brother has come back from a bar. He is getting mad without a cause. Now he is going to hit you.

Situation 2

While you are walking on street, you meet a crazy people. He has drawn his knife, and now he is attacking you.

Situation 3

You are a soldier in a combat now. Enemies' commander is in front of you. You both are out of ammo.

Situation 4

You are being trapped in a massive chaos. Suddenly many people shout and chase you. It seems so well they are going to attack you without any mercy at all to show you.

Situation 5

You and your wife would get divorce. Last morning the misunderstanding had been cleared. You canceled divorcing. This afternoon, your brother-in-law who has not known it meeting you. In his anger, now he is going to attack you with a hammer.

To figure out your nature, ask one of your friend to be your partner in a fight game. Like you did in your childhood age.

After the game over, remember what kind of techniques you did most.

Did you prefer to use punch techniques merely? If yes, it is good to select Boxing.

Did you prefer to use kick techniques? If yes, Tae Kwon Do or Jeet Kun Do may be suitable for you.

Did you prefer to use combined techniques of punch and kick? Karate or Thai Boxing could be suitable for you.

Did you prefer to use lock techniques and/or throw techniques? You would better select Judo, Aikido, Wrestle, Pencak Silat, and so on.

Did you use combination of all techniques? If yes, you could select Kung Fu, Ju Jitsu, Shinto Ryu, Mixed Martial Art, and Ninjutsu.

Do you like armed fighting? You could select Wushu, Kung Fu or Ninjutsu.

Human's nature is unseen, unheard, intangible, and immeasurable. Explanation above is only an approach to predict your possible nature. Not to assure exact one.
