Combat Hapkido Self Defense in Realistic Environments Training Program
For many years, almost since I introduced Combat Hapkido in Spain, I have been developing the program Combat Hapkido Self Defense in Realistic Environments Training( R. E. T.) that I created inspired by my training as a military man and with a very clear aim: Optimize our defensive capacity, to be the ' Green Berets ' of Self Defense, prepared to enter into action anywhere and in any circumstances; rapidly, conclusively and by surprise, using the most advanced technology in tactics and defensive techniques and special training. All this with the great virtue of being within the reach of, not just athletes, but all good people whether they are man or woman, whatever their age and physical condition. In constant research, development and innovation( R + D + I), for the R. E. T. program I base on: How are really aggressions on the different scenarios? What difficulties do they have? How to give most appropriate has the intention to injure or even kill us. For that reason, we must be realistic about how real attacks are and adapt our defensive technique to that reality, and not vice versa. So we have to be strictly realistic approach aggressive situations and also realistic responses to these situations, taking into consideration the pressure the defender is under with the corresponding adverse physiological and psychological reactions. If it fails the realism in approach and / or response, we will have little chance in a real situation.
The second adversity is our surroundings. Let us go to a few examples of real scenarios where I develop the R. E. T. program: light pollution or moonlight( new moon) will lead us to develop our reflexes and our senses of sight, hearing and touch for greater technical accuracy;
- Self Defense in and out of water( amphibious instructions) in the sea, river, lake etc. lead us to have a psychological struggle for fear of drowning, to do techniques against the clock without breathing, doing exactly what we have to do to free ourselves from danger before we run responses? To do this, I made an intelligent selection of techniques of great Combat Hapkido system created by Grandmaster John Pellegrini and of the excellent specific programs Ground Survival( Master David Rivas) and Tactical Pressure Points( Master Mark Gridley), I do technical adaptations to the specific scenario and I develop a series of specific physical and psychological exercises that help to face these special circumstances. As Silio Italico said almost 2000 years ago, ' explorant adversa viros '( adversity tests the man). True enough, as in a real aggressive situation we are going to encounter a lot of adversity, from the aggressor to the surroundings, as well as our own physiological and psychological adverse reactions( the Combat Stress Reaction C. S. R.). What better way to train with these difficulties to be able to face them as efficiently as possible?
In a real situation we face at least three types of adversity. The first is the aggressor( or aggressors), who
- Self Defense inside the car is developed in a very small space with little mobility in the legs, especially having to resort to the use of our arms and hands at high speed and precision, using the architectural elements of the car on our advantage;
- Self Defense in a place such as a Disco or Night Club with the only light in a disconcerting moving lights( type " flash ") and a powerful loud music that are affecting the human senses and difficult to concentrate on what is happening, where is the threat or attack and how to respond appropriately;
- Self Defense in the narrow aisle of a house or on public transport( possibly in movement) will restrict lateral movements, meaning we will have to employ more lineal movements and reactions.
- Self Defense in a dark in places with an uneven terrain( mountain, camp, path etc.) no
