ON INNATE SURVIVAL-SKILL MECHANISMS (INCLUDES FREE DATABASE!)

155 Comments

There’s debate in the industry as to whether innate survival-skill mechanisms are just as or far more important than most training that one can undergo. Actually, maybe it’s just me that’s debating it, as I often run into huge defensiveness, protectiveness, and resistance to the idea. And, to be clear, that top professional training that reinforces evolution, intrinsic survival-skills, and natural-instinctive response, I believe can authentically help. But, as I’ve stated countless times online, people survive the world over (daily) with their Evolution-given tools. Even when survivor/victim claims of past or current martial arts experience aiding in that survival, we often see it being almost completely anecdotal to the actuality, taking a very secondary role to instinctive-response to threat.

As we’ve noticed on the page for years, most people look truly awful when fighting. We see it on Youtube and in case study and on home-video…people, even trained people, look like fish out of water when fighting. Uncoordinated. Awkward. Flailing. Imbalanced. Entirely normal. Even highly-trained, reputable fighters, when put under the pressures of adrenaline, cycle. They repeat the same move over-and-over again. They loop. The good ones loop/cycle successfully and know how to make it work but little in the way of martial arts is present. That being said, people, while often looking awkward and uncoordinated and flailing while fighting, often tend to instinctively do just the thing that’s needed when surviving. They react much more efficiently, with purpose, and decisively when their very survival is hanging in the balance. (See System 1 vs. System 2 article that might at least partially explain this).

While I have little interest in opening this up for debate, as it’s admittedly my theory….but one that I’d say has more than a little validity from volumes of case studies….the question is whether knowledge of these innate survival tools can be incorporated into a training environment. I’m not entirely sure to what extent but it is a question worth discussing. That being said, I’d say it would be entirely useful to understand, learn about, and study how these survival skills work from a scientific perspective. Knowledge begets clarity and alleviates fear of the unknown and panic at their onset. I’m going to transfer the file from The Human Protection Collaborative page here. Maybe more civilians and citizens and normal everyday people will read it than set-in-their-ways professionals did. It’s a big database, unlike any I’ve seen previous, compiled on stories, case studies, science-based explanation on how the body works under duress. Worth the time investment, it was for me…

  137. I have mastered some points through your blog post. One other point I would like to mention is that there are plenty of games that you can buy which are designed in particular for toddler age children. They include pattern acceptance, colors, animals, and forms. These normally focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This makes children engaged without feeling like they are studying. Thanks

  138. Thanks for the useful information on credit repair on this site. A few things i would tell people is usually to give up this mentality that they’ll buy at this moment and pay back later. As being a society most of us tend to repeat this for many factors. This includes vacation trips, furniture, and also items we really want to have. However, you should separate your own wants out of the needs. While you are working to boost your credit score actually you need some trade-offs. For example you may shop online to save cash or you can check out second hand outlets instead of high priced department stores intended for clothing.

  152. I have really learned result-oriented things from a blog post. One more thing to I have discovered is that usually, FSBO sellers can reject anyone. Remember, they’d prefer never to use your solutions. But if anyone maintain a gradual, professional relationship, offering support and remaining in contact for around four to five weeks, you will usually manage to win interviews. From there, a house listing follows. Thanks a lot
