What an Adversary Does

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

What an adversary will do and what chance that brings, defies all planning, training, practice and experiences. You must be able to change your plans abruptly when obstacles or opportunities appear. If you are not ready and wiling to respond to your will, your cleverness will come to nothing. Respond fluidly and instantly to change, be creative. Creativity in the flood of chaos will achieve goals, survival and stopping the adversary. 

To study training, not the battles, is how to learn and understand victory. Remember this well, the street is not a test, it is a lottery with the same chances of winning and where most lose. Luck plays a huge role in the street. Your adversary also has unknown skills, absolute resolve and the power to achieve his goals also has slanted things to weigh more on his side than yours. 

In a realistic self-fense situation you will more likely be attacked by someone you don’t know. It is tantamount to running into a dark opening that you will be forced to enter, your instincts will trigger fear of the unknown especially since past the entrance you can see only the deepest black of black, you hear the silence you expect in the deepest darkest reaches of space itself and the fact you have no idea what lies within and beyond triggers your greatest fears causing trepidation and hesitancy. 

Every single instance of asocial predatory violence is going to be just like this, the trigger causing so many fears compounded by the sudden and instantaneous chemical dump, the adrenal stress-conditioned release, so that even the dark and your fear are compounded ten fold even beyond reason and you have to enter and you have to be aware and you have to sense things and then if danger strikes you have to respond appropriately, efficiently and with appropriate actions and response. Now, how do you train and practice for this?

Humans of our modern era, who don’t have to live and work in predatory occupied environments, don’t have to deal with this kind of darkness, they often deal with only, by chance and stupidity, the socially driven emotionally challenging monkey dance where grave harm and possible death usually come from accidents, ignorance and human monkey stupidity.
