Improve your mental acuity in self-defense. As a professional, you know that self-defense is more than just physical techniques. It's mental readiness that makes the difference between responding effectively and freezing in a crisis. Yet, many security guards, like others, fall into common mental traps. Do you recognize yourself in these?
The Most Common Mental Pitfalls:
- Lack of situational awareness (White State): Are you ever surprised because you were too focused on one aspect and didn't pay attention to your surroundings?
-
Denial and Freeze: Do you ever experience a moment of hesitation or 'freeze' when a threat suddenly presents itself, wasting precious seconds?
-
Underestimating the threat or overestimating your own capabilities: Do you assume the best-case scenario, or do you think your experience is always sufficient, resulting in you not fully assessing the risks?
-
Fear of using violence or confrontation: Do you feel a natural reluctance to intervene, even when the situation calls for it?
-
Lack of a Winning Mindset: Are you always mentally prepared to take control and end a conflict, or do you sometimes let circumstances guide you?
-
Neglecting de-escalation and prevention: Do you focus too much on physical intervention and not enough on preventing escalation through proactive behavior?
-
Excessive focus on physical strength: Do you rely too much on your physical strength and not enough on technique, speed and tactics?
