Applied Self Defence: 10 Man Line-up

This section is designed to put the candidate under pressure in order to test their response to a simulated ‘live combat’ scenario. This first test consists of 10 Attacks as listed below. Each ‘Attacker’ is designated a set attack by the Grading Panel.

Applied Self Defence: Multiple Combat

 

Rationale:

This section is also designed to put the Candidate under extreme pressure in order to test their resolve, combat mind set and fighting spirit.

We firmly believe that in order for any Instructor to teach a self-defence system they must have experienced some kind of confrontation. This is very important to both the system and the individual, who, having been ‘battle tested’ will emerge with a greater understanding of what ‘real confrontation’ is actually like and what is needed to survive. The candidate will face Three ‘Attackers’ each will be wearing full protective Body Armour and will attack with sufficient force to make the scenario real. One Attacker will have a concealed weapon.

The Attacker carrying the concealed weapon will not use it until instructed by command of the Grading Panel.

Time:

2 Minutes or until all ‘Attackers’ are neutralised.

The Attackers wearing full protective equipment will obviously be able to withstand strikes and kicks, which under normal circumstance would have stopped them. Once such a technique has been executed and in the panels view would have been effective, the relevant ‘Attacker’ is retired from the Combat. The remaining Attackers will continue.

Objective:

The Candidate must neutralise the Attackers.

Refer to the entry above for the conditions of being neutralised. The Candidate is expected to carry on throughout the ‘combat’ and not to give up.

If the Candidate suffers an injury that prevents them from continuing the Combat will cease.

Safety:

Each of the Attackers will have a designated number 1, 2 or 3.

Once that Attackers number is called they must cease their attacks.

The ‘Attackers’ will carry out their attacks with sufficient force to make the Candidate defend and respond to them, whilst bearing in mind that they (the Candidate) will be tired. It is a test of the Candidates ability to think and react when under extreme pressure and exhausted.

At the end of the allotted time period when called ALL attacks must cease.

If an ‘Attacker’ suffers an Injury they must clear the mat, or if unable to do so they must make the Panel aware of the fact they cannot continue. In this instance the clock will stop and not continue until safe to do so.

The Attacker carrying the concealed weapon will not use it until instructed by command of the Grading Panel. If that Attacker has been neutralised prior to the command being given then no other Attacker may use a weapon.

Please remember the objective of the ‘Attackers’ is to make the Candidate defend and react NOT to deliberately injure them.

Two One inch thick Pine Boards to be broken by using any two of the following Hand Techniques: Reverse Punch, Knife Hand, Arrow Punch or Elbow Strike

Two One inch thick Pine Boards to be broken by using any two of the following Foot Techniques: Front Kick, Side Kick, Back Kick or Knee Strike.
