[QUOTE="D. Hargrove, post: 3035568, member: 41761"] Seems that training methodology is dependent on situational understanding. There is more to pulling my pistol and engaging the adversary than moving, pulling the pistol and engaging the target. A mental set of steps you go through prior to engaging the target are as important as stopping the attack. Once you are comfortable deciding whether to pull your pistol or not, then your next step is much easier mentally. Of course there are varying steps to everyone's decision cycle, but the reality is that YOUR situational awareness (SA) of your operating environment is critical to your ability to survive. Just a few thoughts on working your SA to a point that your mind is aware of the following when you are out and about, the decision is then ready to be made in a split second. Sounds simple and common sense huh??? MINDSET - To not be a victim, nor endanger innocents. (known) LOCATION - in the car, on the street, in a diner, at work, parking lot, hospital, etc. (known) TIME - morning, afternoon, night, late night (known) TRAINING (yours) - hand to hand, defensive assault denial, CQC training, defensive pistol, etc. ADVERSARY and WEAPON - young, old, staggering, wild eyed, man, woman, punk, gun, knife, pipe, baton, brick.... COLLATERAL DAMAGE - innocents, occupied structures, moving vehicles, etc THE GUT- your guts instinct of the situation (train to trust your gut) [/QUOTE]
