There are many variations of a "fighting stance"... but this one is the worst! Here's my breakdown of the "Triple F Stance". :) SUMMARY: Martial artists may not agree on what makes up the best fighting stance, but I'll bet we can all agree on the worst! In this video, I talk about the worst self-defense position that anyone can find themselves falling into... whether they want to or not! Here's the main idea... You’ve heard of fight, flight, or freeze. Well, the worst self-defense position combines all three. Let's say you're suddenly under attack... Your head leans backward, taking flight... your hands punch forward, ready to fight... and your mind freezes, unable to commit to either plan. I call this the "Triple-F Stance". First, because your body reacts with fight, flight, and freeze all at the same time. Second, because if you fall into the Triple-F Stance, you are Triple F’d! The Triple-F Stance will get you killed if the bad guy is committed to coming after you. That’s why the most important habit in fighting is maintaining a strong, balanced fighting stance no matter what happens. If this sounds familiar, it's okay. Anyone can fall into a Triple-F Stance. Anyone can be exhausted, caught off-guard, overwhelmed by multiple attackers, or get injured and start panicking. Falling into a Triple-F Stance is not the mistake... the mistake is staying in a Triple-F Stance! Being frozen between fight and flight will get you killed. To survive, you must break the indecision and commit to a plan of action as quickly as possible. So, if you feel yourself being pulled in opposite directions, snap out of it and fix your stance! Don’t even think about fighting back until you’ve recovered a strong position. Here's a drill to help you recover... ROUND #1: Get a partner. Let him pad up so he can grab, punch, and kick at you. Don’t hit back. Just focus on holding your stance. ROUND #2: Turn up the speed and power. Then add another attacker or two. But don't hit back yet! You will have a hard enough time just staying on your feet. ROUND #3: You can hit back now! Follow-up with your own punches and kicks or just run to a corner of the room you designate as a "safe zone". This simple drill is a great way to get your self-defense priorities straight. The biggest mistake would thinking you don't need to do it! So, do it! :) 👍🏼Thanks for LIKING and SUBSCRIBING! 🔔 http://bit.ly/SenseiAndo Keep fighting for a happy life! 🥧 BUY ME A PIECE OF PIE: (Thank you!) https://paypal.me/SenseiAndo 🖥️ ONLINE VIDEO COURSES https://www.senseiando.com/school/ 💪🏼TRAIN WITH ANDO (Online or in-person): https://www.senseiando.com/train-with-ando/ ✅7-DAY MARTIAL ARTS CHALLENGE! https://www.senseiando.com/updates/ ▶︎ Website: http://www.senseiando.com ▶︎ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ando_mierzwa/ ▶︎ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SenseiAndo 👕 Tee Shirts: Shop: https://teespring.com/stores/happy-life-martial-arts ❌WARNING: The advice and movements shown in this video are for informational and educational purposes only.
