🔍 Defining Fight or Flight

The fight or flight response is an automatic physiological reaction that kicks in when we perceive a threat. It's our primal instinct to either confront the danger or run away from it. This response is critical for survival and is hardwired into our bodies.

The Physiology of Fight or Flight

Discover how your body responds to perceived threats with a scientific look at the fight or flight response. Learn about:

• Historical Insights: The concept was first described by American physiologist Walter Cannon in the 1920s, who observed the body's reactions to danger and violence.

• Psychological Factors: Understand how effective decision-making under stress, emotional resilience, and trusting our instincts come into play during this response.

• Realistic Training Settings: Our program simulates real-life scenarios to prepare your mind for the unexpected.

• Mental Preparedness: Learn to react swiftly and appropriately in the face of danger, all while keeping your wits about you.

• Biochemical Influence on Senses: Explore how your body's biochemical response during fight or flight can impact your perception and reaction times.

By blending practical self-defense techniques with an understanding of the physiological responses involved, you will be better prepared to handle any situation that may arise. Remember, this course is a tool for learning and preparation—actual combat situations are far more intense and unpredictable than any training can simulate. 🛡️
