Understanding angles are imperative in a survival situation. It is never a good idea to advance straight in or retreat strait back. This video will help you understand angles to achieve a dominant position in the engagement.
*** My apologies ahead of time in that during filming I did not keep in mind that the viewer would be seeing a mirror image. Keep in mind that when I talk about 9, 10 or 11 O’clock I am referencing the left side of the striking dummy even though I am performing examples on the right side. **
If the defender chose to go forward aggressive towards the attacker, they would advance to one of 6 angles. With the attacker being strait in front, the angles to the left would be 9, 10 or 11 O’clock and to the right side of the attacker would be 1, 2 or 3 O’clock. The situation, environment and the defender’s objective when entering will dictate which angle is appropriate. The ultimate goal is to strike specific target’s, then create distance as quickly as possible.
There are different reasons for advancing vs retreating back. One could be that the attacker is between the defender and the exit thereby forcing the defender to advance to get past the attacker and escape.
If the defender is retreating, they will be retreating backwards to either 4 or 8 O’clock. The environment will dictate which angle to advance to. Example, if there is a wall to the left in close proximity, advancing to then right or shall we say 4 O’clock would be the only option.
If the defender is retreating, they should also be performing the following 3 tasks.
Panning the environment for other potential threats
Searching for weapons of opportunity
Identifying exits of opportunity
If the defender has retreated back and has the distance to now run, they should choose this option 1st before attempting to go hands on with the attacker.
