F.A.S.T. Defense
Fear Adrenaline Stress Training
FAST Defense, acronym for Fear Adrenal Stress Training is a simple step by
step process that allows students to recondition the freeze response into
one of amazing power and strength. Since the adrenal rush is a natural
instinctual reaction to a stressful situation, the trick is learning to
harness and focus all that power into one's defense.
This Interactive Safety & Empowerment Program Teaches:
- Awareness Skills on how to avoid altercations.
- Identification of the common mistakes people make in tough situations,
and how to overcome them.
- New choices for dealing with conflict appropriately.
- Anger and Stress Management
- Effective Verbal Boundaries.
- How to avoid Rape
- How to avoid a fight
How Does it work?
Students of this training are constantly reporting how "real" the fights
seem. The first job of the Bulletman is to make you feel like you are actually
being assaulted, verbally and physically. Once the fear/adrenaline response
kicks in for the student, the brain transitions from cognitive (thinking) to
survival mode. There is a switch from one part of the brain to another more
primitive part that rules our instinctive reactions for survival. We call
this the "frog" or "reptilian" brain. Research has shown that the frog
brain can process about five major bits of information and act on them.
This is why real fights are not the flashy beautiful choreographed battles
that we see in Van Damme movies complete with fancy tornado kicks and
ninja rolls. In reality the "deer frozen in the headlight" syndrome is
evident as our brain shuts down, blocking access to those beautifully
refined techniques that we studied for years to master. What the brain
usually links to in martial artists under stress are those techniques that
are simple and most ingrained in us. The basics! This is not a slam on
advanced traditional martial arts techniques.
The Bulletman Suit
The Bulletman Suit is the product of 30 years of trial and error in pursuit of
the very finest body armor for Adrenal Stress Response Training. Many people
took a lot of hard knocks in this evolution. The result: An amazing collection
of gear customized for each Bulletman to provide adequate protection against
full force strikes to the body. The Bulletman suit can take full force strikes,
kicks to the head and groin. Many commercially available suits can
with stand strikes to the torso. Only the Bulletman suit can allow
powerful strikes to the head and groin, as well as torso.
