Body Armor

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

Natural body armor that is and when associated with structure, alignment and movement provide humans with adequate body armor. The kind that protects us in hand-to-hand situations - mostly. Granted, once you add in weapons then that body armor capability diminishes dependent on the type of weaponry involved. 

In hand-to-hand self-defense, for sake of this argument no weapons involved (can you say “Fiction?”), we generate force and power through a variety of principles such as the movement of our mass and the application of our mind and bodies to apply such principles as structure, alignment and stability, etc.

Add in movement, movement is critical to body armor. Our bodies alone with its skeletal structure as well as muscular create through movement, posture, position, etc., provide us the ability to bleed off force and power applied in an attack. Movement allows us to deflect, redirect and absorb force and power. When you couple that with the attackers applied principles such as structure, alignment and stabilizing efforts either effectively or ineffectively you gain more credible ability to exert body armor as to their applied force and power. 

When you witness and later articulate a potential attackers attack posture along with their attack indicators you will recognize when that attacker assumes a position that accentuates and presents optimal body armor and attitude in preparation for a physical attack. 

When you combine your structure of the body, its proper alignment of skeletal system using the muscular system as support and stabilization as well as an enhancement in applying force and power along with your and your adversary’s movement you can find ways to apply and use yours and their principles to your advantage. Lets not leave out another form of armor created by the adrenal dump we will encounter in a dangerous situation. Also, remember that your attacker is also going to have that available so it comes down to how you can use that to your advantage.

Body armor is about the efficient use of what nature provided us to maximize our power and force potential while using our attackers use of power and force against him along with what ever potential tools, both natural and man-made, that helps us survive damage and death along with proper use of self-defense, staying within the self-defense square.
