Defending Yourself

When faced with an immediate threat to your well being, the reactive mind may over analize the situation causing an overwhelming sense of fear and self doubt. This will totally hinder your ability to get into action and protect yourself or your loved ones. If thought comes into play the emotional mind may overwhelm the thinking mind and you may be forced to decision make based on a panic response. This, at best, would be like driving with one foot on the accelerator and one on the brake. It may be someone who is twice your size or someone who demonstrates an incredible amount of hostility, spewing expletives and screaming or someone who you know has a tremendous ability in any given discipline, boxer, wrestler, kung fu stylist etc. One way to deal with this is to train to "objectify your opponent". This is a tactical manner for levelling out the playing field.
When you objectify your opponent he is no longer the 6' 5", 280lb kickboxing monster. He is reduced to a groin, a thigh, a knee or a pair of eyes. Depending on the manner in which he approaches you he will expose one of these areas. Human beings tend to react in kind when it comes to pain, so we create pain to facilitate an entry. Bruce Lee said "Psyche your opponent, phisically and mentally, by inflicting pain." After entering we straightblast into trapping range. In this range we can use the most barbaric tools the human body can deliver, headbutts, elbows, knees, eyegouges and bites. There are functional, structural methodologies for creating pain. Let's examine a few. First we use distance and movement in long range to avoid exchanging blows. Then we make a quick preliminary alaysis of the opponenets posture and prepare to intercept. Making an interception is key in avoiding an exchange of blows. Jeet Kune Do itself, the actual words, boil down to "Way of Intercepting" not way of exchanging blows.
