good stuff.. For the past 15 years I have been teaching P.A.F.I.. P, perceive the threat. A, analyze the threat. F, formulate an attack plan. I, initiate motor skill. I like hired you talked about perception. Awesome like always! Thank you for sharing..
I love the OODA loop & I apply in micro situations whenever possible. All of my students get drilled OODA, OODA, OODA. Use it in your awareness plan, use it in your response plan, use it in your training plan. Using it in your awareness plan allows u to assess danger earlier. Using it in training allows u to have a pre-planned decision phase. Think, if ‘x’ happens, I will do ‘y’. The more scenarios u work on, the more decisions u will have ready to act upon when the situation goes red.
I teach a knife fighting course & tell students to get the knife out early when the orientation phase leads u to assess danger. Get it palmed/behind a thigh because trying to deploy it after the SHTF means u may never have a chance. This is also why I teach stepping off the centerline because the threat will have to restart the OODA loop to observe u then orient while your initial action decision (step off while drawing, front sight, press) already includes these acts so u can get the 1st hit.
The OODA loop can be used in so many ways in the combative world. Even during awareness. Like, I pull in to the bank to use the ATM & I observe two thugs watching me. The observe question is, What is going on around me? The orient question is why are they there? Then, when u start using the machine & notice 1 of them drop a half smoked cigarette & move towards u, u can make a decision before the SHTF. like, knowing to hit the cancel button & act like u got declined as u retreat to your car..
