                Hunter or the Hunted 

One of the biggest parts of teaching self-defense is empowering people not to become victims of criminal activity. For most people this means changing their mentality from being the hunted to the hunter. The best way I’ve heard this described in many different newsletters or forums is by taking us back to our childhood and playing hide and go seek. When you are it, you have not worries; you’re out on the prowl and looking for your prey to tag and freeze or to make “it”. On the flip side of that you were the one running away or hiding; your nerves are going and you don’t want to be caught. In my teens my friends and I came up with a similar game, but a little more advanced. When we went out to my friends’ cabin out into the wilderness, at night one of us would go into the forest and hide, but they were the one hunting, our goal was to find him before he found us. I remember both parts really well. When I was looking, especially if I knew it was my friend who became quite proficient with the game, I would be nervous and every snapping branch and rustle of the leaves caused me to jump or turn swiftly. My nerves were on edge and adrenaline was pumping big time and all I wanted to do was run out of the trees and go back to the camp. Again on the flip side of that was being the hunter. I was still full of adrenaline, but it was much different, I wanted to chase more than just run. Stalking them and causing fear was a great tactic, because they would get sloppy and make Mike Reis Founder of Triune Fist mistakes, and that’s what I counted on. Even then I knew the difference System. 27 years of M.A. between being the hunter and the hunted, or predator and prey. It was a totally experience. different mindset of knowing exactly what you had in mind, compared to not knowing the move of the other player. The majority of people have this type of Inside D.G.C.F.S. mentality that, “nothing will ever happen to them…” This type of thinking makes you complacent and a good target for those on the prowl. Then they begin to New changes & new faces 1 think only of physical attributes of what they would consider a bad person and Ronald’s Fitness Corner 2 that’s what they look for. These types of mentalities are dangerous to have Coming events 3 because it shows you don’t know how to think like a hunter or predator. Some Hunter or Hunted 4 Airsoft Products 5 would ask, “Isn’t that good?” I would answer no, not really. If you can think like D.G.C.F.S. modules 6 them, then you’ll be more open to observing things around you appropriately Combatives Division 7 and not take certain things for granted, like your head bein down and you Links to good places 8 looking at your feet. These are indicators to those who are looking for prey, someone weak. Just like out in the wild, predators look for the weakest one in the group and then they isolate them or corner them where they can’t escape, and then they pounce and destroy their prey. Some questions should arise with that statement above. Example: How does the predator pick out the weakest? Predators all have a way of blending with their environment. They stalk their prey without them knowing that they are actually watching them to see the cues of weakness. There are many, so here are a few: As you’re walking your head is down and looking at your feet, on the cell phone texting being distracted from everything around you, shuffling of feet (a sign of depression and weakness), etc. The list can go on and there are some really good books out there to help you see those weaknesses. Hopefully some good selfdefense instructors know these too, to help shape the way you think from prey to predator. That’s just a brief look at how a hunter or predator would think, one of the main factors is that the predator is looking to make you prey, so they have every intention of doing what it takes to do what they are planning to do. They wish to destroy you; this is why you need to have their mindset. The other main reason to have this mindset is when you are attacked you must react like a hunter, not one of the hunted, and think of only damaging or injuring you prey. This type of mentality will give you an edge on your attacker, because you understand them, but they weren’t expecting to attack another predator, or they wouldn’t have attacked. This is a survival or preservation type thinking pattern that should be taught for the self-defense classes we teach, this is the first leap in the right direction when teaching, because the mental state is more important than the physical.
