Okay let’s talk about decision making when you’re up against, your facing like a baseball bat, tire iron, or a club. What a lot of systems will show you is that when somebody pulls out a bat or some other impact weapon that you want to be able to read their signs and be able to decide when to launch your attack. But what they often show is relatively unrealistic so when somebody has the bat you try to jump out of the way like this and then you look for when you can get in there for your attack. The problem with this is when somebody has a bat and you don’t have anything they’re not going to swing away at your midsection and just where you’re going to be able to jump back. When they come in their going to come in for a homerun, if they got it and they are role playing on hitting you their just going to come in and just take your head off. And even if you put up your arms to try and block it your going to break your forearm so there’s really no defense there when somebody has a bat and they really intend on doing you harm. So as soon as you see a bat somebody gets out of their car, they pull out a tire iron; they pull out a baseball bat. You got a bunch of kids there or whatever, one has a bat and they’re starting to come up and be aggressive with you as soon as you see that bat, you have to make a decision right then in there and that’s decision is either to run as fast as you can to escape the situation to realizing that when they start swinging your going to get hit or as soon as you see it, you got to come inside and use combatives. Inside here when he’s swinging he can’t really hurt me from here. I can block his arm that’s great but all the power in the bat is right on the end. This is where the most power is. So even if he hits me up here. It’s not going to really do much damage to me and I’m already inside of his swing there. So as soon as he has it I’ve got to get inside. So as the decision of what to do happens when you see that bat come out of the trunk or come out in somebody’s hand. This segment is brought to you by closequarterscombat.com.
