Making of a Jedi Warrior

jump in!

the idea for the thread is to present content that, if practiced with sincerity, can increase ones likelihood of recognizing and responding to violence in a effective fashion - that's it

it doesnt have to be "combat death techniques" lol or whatever, although i guess i have kind of focused on such

but anything that you feel meets that criteria, in any way, is welcome and appreciated

Goal Setting - Mental Rehearsal - Self Talk - Arousal Control

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/communication-central/200911/how-the-navy-seals-increased-passing-rates

"With goal setting the recruits were taught to set goals in extremely short chunks. For instance, one former Navy Seal discussed how he set goals such as making it to lunch, then dinner. With mental rehearsal they were taught to visualize themselves succeeding in their activities and going through the motions. As far as self talk is concerned, the experts in The Brain documentary made the claim that we say 300 to 1000 words to ourselves a minute. By instructing the recruits to speak positively to themselves they could learn how to "override fears" resulting from the amygdala, a primal part of the brain that helps us deal with anxiety. And finally, with arousal control the recruits were taught how to breathe to help mitigate the crippling emotions and fears that some of their tasks encouraged."

some jedi wisdom from elliot hulse: making the right decision vs making the decision right

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-YcKLiTWPz4

the clinch is a position that is very, very good for self defense, as it is effective even against people who train to deal with it

its a tough spot to get out of and it opens all kinds of really devastating options for the clincher, the most obvious and common being knees, which can end the situation very quickly
