Understanding the importance of tipping point stability and balance interference and destruction is most important in European military CQC/MSD.
It applies to wide ranging military self-defence and military armed and unarmed combat skills set ups and executions including:
- Unarmed offensive assault
- Unarmed counter offensive assault
- Maintaining momentum
- Maintaining strong boots stability
- Tactical resistance and yielding
- Detainee handling
- Enemy decentralisation
Unarmed offensive assault requires stability maintenance and velocity generation from the ground upward and outward.
Where the head goes, the body follows and when this is in the execution of unarmed offensive assault threat neutralisation, if the head, body and extremities are not committed and target directed, then the destructive capability is reduced and the risk increased.
Military decentralisation is to neutralise the threat before they hit the ground or on impact with hard terrain protrusions or surfaces.
This is best achieved with the decentralisation manoeuvre being initiated from a position of enemy incapacitation and or stability destructive interference.
When combined with military CQC dirty/deadly tradecraft practices, enemy stability can be easily destroyed.
Tipping points change in relation to the direction of force and include when the combatant has 60% or more of their mass/force to the enemy’s rear flanks as well as when the enemy is put in a position of being bent forward with their head low to the ground.
Extending bodily extremities in a direction of stability destruction and balance loss also aids in the employment of CQC objective achievement means and methods.
Maintaining stability and prevention of being moved or decentralised requires capability in preventing being moved lifted or decentralised.
European military combative systems like the Todd System’s unarmed offensive assault and unarmed counter offensive assault skills set ups include hard boot squat crouching for not only expedient action achievement but also stability and balance enhancement.
Such tactics not only increase stability but also reduce target mass and increase safety.
Unarmed engagement with your head held up and back from your enemy or enemy decentralisation without achieving balance and stability superiority reduces threat neutralisation likelihoods and increase risks and dangers.
The combatants capabilities with a superior stability and momentum status enhances primary threat neutralisation set up initiation and execution.
Below is a practice drill to enhance the combatants stability, set a ready set to go expedient action kick off status and reduce target mass at point blank body contact range by establishing a position of enemy stability interference/destruction.
Cord, or in this case a pointer, is used to ensure the combatant achieves primary positions.
