Key Concepts

​

• Spirit, Weapon, and Body as one 
  This must be assimilated through situational drills.​

• Sight, Footwork, Courage, and Power

• The four key elements:

  • Sight: the ability to see your adversary, not just their physical presence but also their character, feelings, and intentions.

  • Footwork: the movement of the body.

  • Courage: one's spirit and attitude toward one's self and fellow human beings.

  • Power: the ability to put into practice the spirit, weapon, and body as one to produce powerful strikes and a powerful presence.

• Surprise, Fear, Doubt, and Confusion
  The four things you must conquer:

  • Surprise: do not be startled or taken by surprise.

  • Fear: do not let awe of your adversary or fear of failure overcome you.

  • Doubt: do not hesitate or enter into half-hearted action.

  • Confusion: do not let your mind wander and become disordered.

• To Attack
  To attack means to apply pressure to your adversary. There are three basic kinds of “To attack.”

  • Break the adversary spirit

  • Kill the adversary’s technique

  • Kill the weapon

• Chance to Strike
  The five most important chances are:

  • As your adversary’s attack is beginning

  • When the adversary’s attack is finished.

  • When the adversary has settled. Observe patterns of breathing or movement.

  • After a block or parry

  • When the adversary is uncertain

• Counter-Attacks
  The three basic categories of counter-attack:

  • Before the adversary attacks

  • At the same time of the adversary’s attack

  • After the adversary attacks

• Combat Distancing
  The distance between the officer and the adversary. The ability to control this distance, and to apply drill-based applications appropriate to a particular distance, is a measure of the maturity of the officer. The basic kinds of combat distancing are:

  • Far distance (2 motions to strike)

  • Medium distance (1 motion to strike)

  • Close distance (1/2 motion to strike)

  • ​

Techniques

​

The Government Scout builds upon sound fundamental techniques to solidify their base. Training must be constant for letting the basics lapse could expedite your death when confronted by a willing adversary.

​

The advanced techniques must come with experience in application as extensions from the basic techniques. To uncorrect a bad habit takes longer than waiting for advanced techniques to appear in an officer’s knowledge cycle of experience. Since the advanced techniques are extensions of the basics, a seasoned officer will constantly review the fundamentals, in order to be able to properly execute the advanced techniques.

​

There are two broad categories of techniques: Receiving and Offensive. The way an officer receives the adversary will greatly affect the offensive application that follows (prefix, insert, suffix).

​

Receiving Techniques

• Avoiding technique

• Escaping technique

• Countering technique

• Crashing technique

​​

"Remember, the term defensive as a law enforcement physical applications paradigm is by its nature a “wait for the bad guy to choose the time, place, and circumstance” from which to attack. This is truly the spirit of surviving from a disadvantage and leads to an officer’s death. Conversely, the term offensive means just the opposite. The officer gets to choose the, where, when, why, and how of surviving, which is taking the initiative and exploiting every advantage necessary to come out alive." —Cmdr. Ty Tum’artuq Cunningham
