10.10.2023 Tuesday’s final lesson: hour seven of my online teacher training course with Hostlebro Taekwondo Klub, Denmark. We looked teaching perhaps the most neglected overall area of self-protection: the post-fight. I began the lesson with a look at how I taught this in my "When Parents Aren't Around" seminars and book. Here it is laid out in a very basic form teaching children to get to a place of safety, check or get others to check for injuries, informal reporting and making peace with what has happened. After this was covered we took a deep dive into the "Aftermath" webinar presentation I gave during the lockdown period of 2020. Here the entire post-fight process was unpacked and examined. We looked at how much was cycled back to the pre-fight and why self-protection training isn't alway linear. The "double tap" harked back to an early podcast I recorded in 2018 and the webinar provided us with a critique of the OODA Loop. This reaction/decision theory was adapted for self-protection using the 3 Rs (Recognise, Read and Respond). Such an adaptation addresses the problem with decision making and the need to be able to step outside of the Loop. First Aid raised a critique on what W.E. Fairbairn taught on blood loss. With two doctors specialising in such injuries providing their accounts on the lengthier period individuals can expect to live and an important point regarding mind-set, everything cycled back to attitude. Finally, we arrived at "The Black Dog" and Mikael Oddershede provided an excellent personal anecdote about an ambush experience during his time in the military. It took three days before a more mature member of his squad began discussing the psychological impact of the incident, allowing the others to begin unburdening their nightmares. The Black Dog is a very important aspect of training that allows individuals to communicate to one another and professionals, if required, in order to move on with their lives. https://clubbchimera.com/services/
