PRINCIPLES OF HAND TO HAND COMBAT / BOAZ AVIRAM

THE THEORY OF HAND TO HAND COMBAT IS VERY SIMPLE! ITS APPLICATION HOWEVER IS A LITTLE COMPLEX!

1- CONTROL THE OPPONENT BY REACHING TO HIS PRESURE POINTS FIRST

2- DO NOT LET THE OPPONENT CONTROL YOUR PRESSURE POINTS BY BLOCKING OR ESCAPING HIS ATTEMPTS

3- ONCE IN THE HOTZONE WHERE AN ATTEMPT FROM EITHER SIDE WAS MADE TO REACH PRESSURE POINT FOLLOW UP WITH CONTINUED CONTROL THROUGH PRESSURE POINTS USING YOUR JUDGMENT IF POSSIBLE

4- THE TRAINING IS DONE BY SIMPLIFYING THE PROCESS TO THE SMALLEST MEANINGFUL TRAINING UNIT AND PUTTING ALL THE UNITS BACK TOGETHER IN FLUID CHOREOGRAPHED EXECUTION ADDING SPARRING DRILLS WHERE THE TRAINING PARTNERS PUT ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER MAXIMIZED AND LIMITED TO THE HUMAN REACTION TIME.

5- THIS INCLUDES COMBAT MOTION AND FORCE GENERATION THOUGH LEVERAGE AND IMPACT, COMBAT NAVIGATION AROUND THE HUMAN BODY AND LIMBS LEARNING TO REACH PRESSURE POINTS WITHOUT LETTING THE OPPONENT REACH ONE’S PRESSURE POINTS AND TESTING THE CRUCIAL COMPONENTS AFTER SERIES OF REPEATED DRILLS WHERE THE TRAINING PARTNERS REPEATEDLY TRY TO MINIMIZE THEIR ERRORS AND BAD HABITS TO BECOME EFFICIENT IN COMBAT NAVIGATION STRIKING FORCE AND JUDGMENT OF WHEN TO COMMENCE AND WHEN TO CONTINUE AND WHEN TO STOP.

6- TO SIMPLIFY THE TRAINING PROCESS ANY UNNECESSARY FITNESS AND DRILLS ARE EXTRACTED OUT. THE PRIORITIZED APPROACH OF REALISTIC TRAINING CALLS FOR ANY METHOD THAT IS SECONDARY TO BE EXTRACTED OUT. THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE IN DISTILATION HERE IS IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO CONTROL PRESSURE POINTS THAT IS THE ONE CHOSEN TO TRAIN IN THE COURSE OF COMBAT NAVIGATION AND FORCE GENERATION UNDER THE CONTSTRAINT OF HUMAN REACTION TIME BEFORE ENTERING THE HOTZONE AND DURING THE CONTROL PROCESS IN THE HOTZONE.
