The Blademaster said stress...
 

I love this topic. Who can tell us the physiological reactions to stress as pertains to this topic and how it impacts on your ability to respond to a threat?





STOP LOOKING IT UP!

:munchin

I'll stand by for just a bit here...edited to say I'll repeat what Col. Applagate taught me if no else replies...

Ok, six minutes have gone by, Here's a hint, "incorporating a humans natural stress response to close sudden danger"

Fight or flight ?

Increased heart rate ?

Dry mouth ?

Sweaty palms ?

before all that.

Ummmmmmm

I'm out

All of the above, which also leads to degradation of fine muscle skills.

Kill, or be killed. Monkey stomp, or be monkey stomped.

Any fight I've ever been in I've felt that before it happened

Last time was this winter when some buddies and I were jumped by a group of punks

Eye dilation?

Check out your surroundings

What can you use and what could be used against you

How can you get out if you have to

How many bad guys are there - who should you stomp first

BIG Time Adrenaline Dump and all of it's insidious side effects !! Learning how to control yourself during that phase is imperative. Then, after the "Inducers" are gone, to be able to maintain a rational thought process and di..di.. in a proper fashion is in order !!

Yes I think we are talking about instinctive response of big muscle groups, or the whole body.

No your not, go back to flight or fight. It all begins just before then.

AM gave you the first one and primary casual factor. You guys should know this, your life depends on it - this is an OODA Loop killer.

Reaper and Blademaster are practically giving you the answers.
