Hey guys, what is going on? Chris Sajnog here, retired Navy SEAL and founder of the SEAL Training System, and in this video, I want to teach you the three F's of personal protection. Now let's go ahead and get started.
All right, so a lot of times when we find ourselves in a stressful situation, especially a violent encounter of some sort, we may be dropping a bunch of f-bombs in hopes that maybe saying a bunch of offensive f-words is somehow magically going to help protect us or our families. But in reality, there are three better, more useful f-words that I'm going to teach you that can help you protect yourself or your family in any violent situation. And they are to Flow, to Fight and to Follow up.
So first up is to Flow. Now, Flowing means that you're flowing like water through any situation. You're just as smooth as can be. It means that you are in control of the situation and a lot of times people have heard about fight or flight, and or freeze. So those tend to be the three reactions to any stressful situation that people are taught. But what I like to teach is the fourth F, and that is to Flow.
So what happens in a stressful situation, you're going to fight if you understand the situation and you believe you can win that situation, so you're attacked by somebody and because of your training, you go, you know what? I'm bigger than this guy; I can take him. I'm going to fight him for whatever reason. That is your fight response.
The next one is to take Flight or to run away. And you're going to do that when you understand the situation, but you think you can't win that situation. So you know what's going on. You're like, okay, this dude is like six foot seven, 300 pounds and it's all muscle and he's got a knife and, I'm going to run away.
And then the other one is the deer in the headlights and that is to Freeze. So what happens here is you have no idea what the situation. It'd be like, for me, I've never practiced what I would do if an alien spac..
