WW-2 COMBATIVES IN ACTION

Below are a series of photographs which capture the action during the final High-stress Scenario at the 6th International Seminar. To me these are a terrific indication of the utility of the classic WW-2 strikes.

The format for the scenario was such that the indivudual was first given a pre-stressor of intense physical activity, designed to drain the tank. He was then confronted by the guy in the suit, who used verbal stress induction. The individual was not allowed to pre-empt…. he had to wait for Si Squires, in the suit, to launch first, again adding stress, and testing ability for coping in-fight

NOTES

As well as these classic techniques, notice the very positive body-dynamics, especially forward drive.

Well done to all concerned.

As usual, thanks and respects to Si Squires, for his expertise in the suit.

Thanks to Richie Owens for the superb photography
