I'd add one factor, or maybe emphasize is a better word. Scenarios aren't about proving how you can create a situation that the students can't beat. That's easy to do; you're stacking the deck and setting the rules. And if you put a student in what amounts to a no-win scenario, you get no-win responses...<br /><br />By the way... there is a book.

What form that judgment illicites may vary (do I fight or talk down? Lethal force or not? When can I pull the trigger on physical violence? Run away? Etc) but the overriding factor, to me, is judgment. You have to respond to what happens, not really knowing what's going to happen. This obviously brings OODA into it, but at a much deeper level that skill development training. If we spar, my only variables are the physical techniques in play. I don't wonder - CAN I attack him? If so, when? And how much? Do I have to justify myself? To I have to worry about other threats?<br /><br />Judgment is the key, at least in my bullshit opinion. <br /><br />And I've done the ocelot scenario. I'm only mostly joking. :D<br /><br />LDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-1003000113973885542010-10-06T07:55:51.472-07:002010-10-06T07:55:51.472-07:00Whether book or blog post, I'd be interested i...Whether book or blog post, I'd be interested in more information on even a few of your "25 scenarios".Asaraluduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418970487451535993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-44863711314793688032010-10-06T01:46:55.103-07:002010-10-06T01:46:55.103-07:00I've been reading this blog since buying '...I've been reading this blog since buying 'Meditations on Violence' a few months ago and have learned so much.
