I work as a security sergeant for a large church and school complex — armed team, active shooter response protocols, the works. One of the things we prioritize in training is stress inoculation: making sure skills hold up when your body is under physical and emotional stress, not just at the range when everything is calm.
Most self-defense training I see focuses on technique in controlled conditions. Which is fine for building the skill — but it doesn't prepare you for the cardiovascular reality of an actual threat.
We recently filmed a drill: sprint 50 yards full effort, then immediately engage targets. I did this alongside one of our instructors (active duty, blurred on camera). The degradation in fine motor control is real and it's something every civilian who carries should understand and train for.
Curious whether others here incorporate this kind of training — and if so, what protocols you use.
Happy to share the footage if there's interest.
