1. This data is for hormonal induced heart rate increase resulting
from the sympathetic nervous system arousal. Heart rate increase
resulting from exercise will not have the same effect.
2. Hormonal induced performance and strength increases can achieve
100% of potential max with in 10 seconds, but drop 55% after 30
seconds, 35% after 60 seconds and 31% after 90 seconds. It takes a
minimum of 3 minutes of rest to "recharge" the system.
3. Any extended rest after sympathetic nervous system arousal can
result in parasympathetic backlash, with significant drops in energy
level, heart rate and blood pressure. This can manifest itself as
normal shock symptoms (dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting, clammy
skin) and/or profound exhaustion.

You can see that the optimum heart rate is between 115 and 145 BPM. I
can't stress enough the difference between exercise induced heart
rate and hormonal induced heart rate.

How many times have you been locked out of your home or car and you
really needed to get in, how many times do you try the door handle.
When people are trapped in a crowded theater and they will try to
open the door, over and over and over again. Knowing its locked has
nothing to do with it, when your mind starts going into condition
red, you lose all rational thought.

How do you prepare or prevent yourself from going into condition red
and blacking out?
1. Experience. The more times you are put into a situation, you
become inoculated against the stress. As we are seeing today,
soldiers who have been in combat are more effective than those who
have not been.
2. Training. The more you can replicate the circumstances of a
stressful situation, the more you can learn what to expect. This
requires training partners, training environments and a lot of
repetition.
3. Physical conditioning. The better your physical condition, the
more damage you can absorb and the longer you can function under
extreme stress.

The problem is most people don't have access to specific training for
self defense. If you are like most people, you don't have the time to
dedicate 8 to 12 hours a week on your training. This is why the
methods found at www.thetruthaboutselfdefense.com work.
These methods were developed for people don't have the time to
dedicate to learning complicated techniques of a martial art. These
methods are engineered to enable you to function under fire. Keep in
mind, the people who reley on these methods are preparing for combat-
a life or death situation is inevitable.

Instintive and convulsive. No warm up, no metal preparation, you must
be ready to go at a moments notice. You will not be attacked in the
gym. You will be going to your car or shopping at the mall, you will
be taken by surprise. Your reaction must be instinctive and
convulsive.

Let's take the axe hand or short edge of hand as an example. It's
durable; you can hit most anywhere on your target without doing
significant damage. If trained minimally, even the smallest person
can develop enough power to knock a much lager person out cold.

Remember when you locked your keys in the car? Now that's minimal
stress. How many techniques will you even try, one, two, any?
The truth is, when you' re stressed without benefit of realistic
training or the experience of being in that situation repeatedly, you
will not act rationally, your body will not allow it! At the most,
all you will be able to do are a few techniques. Realistically, even
if all you did was an edge of hand, repeatedly and forcefully over
and over and over again- you will increase your chances dramatically.
The problem is, most self defense methods DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THIS!
What happens when you learn a little of a lot of technique? Nothing.
You will freeze and do nothing.
That's why when you practice it must be intense. You must hit
repeatedly and as hard as you can.

Try this. Stand in front of your training target. Time yourself if
you can. Using just the short axe hand, hit that thing as much and as
hard as you can.
How long did you go for before you are totally exhausted or whipped?
Cut that time in half- that's your fight life. That's roughly how
long you will last before you will have to regroup or rest.
