out of air or we are rendered unconscious by a blow to the head.
- Self Defense conditioned acording to whether we are on a sidewalk or on the street( raining or not), on an unstable surface snow( cold weather), on a heavy sand surface( hot weather), on a surface very hilly mountain whose mobility and technical versatility will be tested according to the defender is up, down or fighting and rolling on the ground.
The third adversity are our own physiological and psychological reactions when we feel that our lives are in danger, with an avalanche of sensory stimuli, loss of fine motor skills and visual angle, sweating, high heart rate, pulmonary hyperventilation etc.. So in addition to the rigorous approaches explained above and their responses, and specific environmental adversity, in these Special Instructions of the R. E. T. program I develop a series of exercises that reproduce approximately these physiological and psychological reactions for the defender to be forged along with other exercises specific physical and psychological reinforcement. And so even with so many adversities, the defender is able to " do what needs to be done " with greater courage and technical perfection, with self control and self confidence.
Lastly, I would like to mention that I give these Elite Instructions to students and instructors of Combat Hapkido( it is specially conceived for them), but I also offer these training to military and police units( please see my contact details) along with our Military Combatives( MCA) and Police Defensive Tactics( IPDTI) courses.
And of course I cannot end without giving thanks to my mentor and the founder of Combat Hapkido, Grandmaster John Pellegrini, to whom I offer my highest admiration, loyalty, gratitude and respect.
