Defensive Flinch Self Defense Technique
Tony Blauer the creator of the spear self defense system explains how flinch reactions are a primal self defense technique and should be used to our advantage. This is often why a martial artist will lose a fight. They are trying to predict where a strike is going to come from and get caught with a sucker punch. Using your body’s natural self defense you can learn to block those sucker punches by flinching.
Combined with the previous video about Hick’s law this can be an effective self defense move to block that first strike. I like his analogy of a jack in the box. You know it’s going to happen, but you just don’t know when. Simplifying your defense moves and using your flinch reaction can be a life saver. Then your more technical martial arts training can finish the job.
