UNARMED OFFENSIVE ASSAULT ENTRY

Depicted one type of entry strike as part of setting up a finishing skill

Unarmed offensive assault entry skills as part of unarmed offensive assault combinations are most important initial component actions to maximise unarmed offensive assault combinations finishing skills objective achievement.

Entry skills that are best of battle proven dirty tricks brigade tradecraft practices are the most proven means of achieving expedient entry momentum and setting up objective achievement finishing skills.

Targeting delicate human senses or life-support vitals maximises chances of objective achievement and in most instances requires less physicality capabilities than traditional fight take on skills.

In addition to incapacitation skills there are tactics to interfere with the enemy’s visual and mental focus that aid in effective threat neutralisation achievement.

Interfering with mental and visual focus can cause hesitation/stalling self-doubt in relation to the enemy’s pre-decided option/intentions and weaken their resolve/intestinal fortitude.

Effectively causing the enemy to hesitate reduces their actions on speed increasing your chances of effective target contact.

Skills that produce likely autonomic reactions or deliberate responses including shock effects of incoming action or pain reactions/responses are also primary elements of close range unarmed offensive assault striking combinations and also of long range unarmed offensive assault stamp kicking set up and execution actions.

Transitions from front stances and guards to side stances and guards in both unarmed offensive assault striking and stamp kicking strategies set up with deception, distraction or dirty tricks provide the maintaining of high level safety in the kill zone and effective threat neutralisation objective achievement.

Effectively the hunter has become the hunted and is adversely effected by action or perception of action and as such is less of a threat at that point in time.

Identifying/presenting as a full sized front on target prior to actions on from outside unarmed combat contact range and transitioning to a side on stance and guard executed long or close range unarmed offensive assault strategy can cause enemy confusion and aid in effective and safe objective achievement.

Best of battle proven unarmed combat offensive actions skills should incorporate in unarmed offensive assault combination actions components to interfere with mental and visual focus, distract, cause injury, and off-balance or incapacitate the enemy leaving them vulnerable to the unarmed offensive assault combination decided finishing skills.

Using deception, distraction and dirty tricks combined with incapacitation skills targeting delicate sensitive human anatomy targets increases chances of effective combination objective achievement.

Entry skills employments must also incorporate hard targeting/hard cover guarding to maximise safety as part of entry skills executions.

Combined brain to boot mental toughness tactics and skills that increase/enhance inner resolve/mental toughness are the most important part of effectively neutralising formidable foes.

Without or with low level mental toughness confidence in one’s capabilities to safely and effectively engage and neutralise a formidable foe chances are dramatically affected from the outset and as such the likelihood of safe and effective threat neutralisation is reduced by considerable.

The major and minor Brain to Boot mental toughness components will ensure the focus is on proactive, definite and deliberate means of threat neutralisation.

Having definite and deliberate mental toughness strategies combined with primary proven objective achievement physical tactics and skills is a CQC trade-craft must.

The Brain to Boot mental toughness tactics and skills not only enhance and increase mental toughness for close quarters combat and self-protection but also ensure the combatant focuses on safe and effective threat neutralisation removing time/opportunity for one’s mind to slip into self-doubt or anticipation over confident deliberate threat neutralisation.

Unarmed offensive assault strategies must incorporate factual assessment and overkill best means decision-making combined with hard targeting self-protection in the execution of unarmed offensive assault skills. Constant awareness and focus is required by constant real time situational/ threat checks and rechecks and if required employing adjustments to maximise one’s chances of safe and effective threat neutralisation.

This takes away time availability to weaken resolve by dwelling on enemy strengths or slipping into the negative self-doubt mind-set that can only weaken one’s inner resolve/intestinal fortitude.

Effective unarmed offensive assault strategies tradecraft practices include side stance and guard entry skills to increase hardcover and positional protection of delicate human bodily senses and life-support vitals by protecting such senses and life support vitals and ensuring they are not exposed.

Such hard targeting practices also make enemy seizure more difficult by increasing body mass and maximising effective seizure prevention.

When one’s enemy is vulnerable as a result of the effects of entry skills executions transitioning from a side stance and guard to a front stance and guard finishing skill employment status is cohesive and maximises the maintaining of momentum.

Combining distractive deceptive dirty tricks brigade entry skills that can interfere with visual and mental focus as well as cause injury, incapacitation and adversely affect balance and stability are all primary components of setting up an unarmed offensive assault strategy finishing skill.

Skills that provide the highest chances of achieving the desired objective not only enhance objective achievement but also enhance self-confidence self-safety and mental toughness.

Skills that are based on taking an enemy on targeting large muscle groups over delicate human senses and life-support systems require greater physical attributes capabilities to one’s enemy and if the combatant is of lesser physical attributes and capabilities than the enemy such skills can increase risk and reduce the chances of safe and effective objective achievement.

Take on skills especially for the underdog can increase the actions on duration and for every additional second in actions on the underdog’s chances of threat neutralisation can be affected by considerable.

The reality and reasoning for unarmed offensive assault combinations comprising of entry skills and transitions to finishing skills is based on the fact, that when two formidable combatants are prepared to do whatever it takes to WIN, it is less likely that a single take on technique will achieve the objective of neutralising ones enemy.

When compromised formidable combatants will do everything to make themselves as harder target as possible as part of their threat neutralisation strategy and this reduces the likelihood of a single technique take out.

The best unarmed offensive assault close range striking means when compromised to incapacitate a ready and willing enemy are by unarmed offensive assault strategies that include distraction, deception, dirty tricks, and hard cover guarding of one’s human senses and life-support systems with multiple entry skills until the enemy is vulnerable at which point the transition to the employment of the decided finishing skill can be safely and effectively employed.

Same system mil CQC/MSD skills have commonality and are cohesive and as such provide high level maintaining of momentum.

My former mil CQC/MSD instructors from World War II based their skills on battle proven methods of overkill enemy destruction that included side stance and guard unarmed offensive assault entry skills employments to maximise combatant’s safety as part of unarmed offensive assault combination strategies.

Their mindset was to reduce risk to the lowest level humanly possible and maximise objective achievement to the highest level humanly possible by the best of battle proven dirty tricks brigade tactics and skills.

Tactics and skills needed to provide a combatant of lesser physical attributes with safest and most effective means of formidable threat neutralisation.

Skills needed to be role, objective and threat neutralisation specific trade-craft primary practices and in unarmed offensive assault close range striking combinations executions the first contact would be by entry skills which consisted of skills that set up the finishing skill employment and as such needed to be cause and effect specific.

Stamp kicking long range skills strategies objective achievement is also enhanced by mil close combat trade-craft practices that include Brain to Boot CQC/MSD mental toughness tactics and skills combined with set up deception distractions and dirty tricks.

Having not only complete unarmed offensive assault strategies but also cohesive contingency options of the same systems that ensure engagement momentum can be maintained under actions on further increases the likelihood of threat neutralisation.

Not being competent and confident in all aspects of threat neutralisation equates to not being fully armed ready able and capable of defeating formidable foes.

To be close combat competent, proficient and formidable requires hands on training under the control/instruction of a highly qualified mil trade-craft Master-Instructor that can determine the best tactics and skills to fit with individual exponents mental and physical make-ups and can critique errors and make adjustments to initiation and execution actions to enhance capabilities.

There is no way of achieving high level capabilities other than extensive training and mil trade-craft training methods to inoculate combatants against adverse effects of close quarters actions on and enable them to safely and effectively achieve the objective of formidable threat neutralisation.

For those that have the desire to be the best combatant they can be armed with mil elite CQC/MSD capabilities requires practical smarts and commitment that begins with sourcing highly qualified trade-craft training under a highly qualified mil close combat/self-defence instructor.

The rest comes down to accepting orders and instructions and training until high level competency is achieved and then maintaining a current status of high level capability.

Mil CQB/CQC/MSD are living progressing trade-craft practices and as such the best prepared exponents proponents and instructors are those that are dedicated committed and maintain a current status of capabilities in the most current and proven tactics and skills.
