Hey Guys what's 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 FS
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 want to teach you that can help you
protect yourself or your family and 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 are
flowing like water through any situation right you're just 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 or freeze so those are 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 them I'm gonna fight
them for whatever reason okay 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 three hundred pounds and
it's all muscle he's got a knife and I have nothing I'm gonna run away and then
the other one is the deer and the headlights and that is to freeze so what
happens here is you have no idea what the situation is happening at that
moment I've never practiced what I would do if like alien spaceship came and like
landed right next to me I would freak out I'd be like just frozen no idea so
that's deer in the headlights that is freezing so you've got fight flight and
freeze but there is a fourth reaction and that is flow so that's what I want
you to do how do you flow through a situation you
practice if you practice enough and you understand situational awareness and you
understand other people and how to control yourself and other people in all
kinds of situations you're going to be able to flow through that situation all
right the second F is simply to fight and when it comes time to fight I want
you to fight your ass off that's right I want you to go for it you have to go
all-out when you've decided it is time to fight it is time to fight it's not
time to go hey put your dukes up I'm gonna fight you like why would you tell
somebody that you're going to fight them when you decide it's time it's time to
fight and you need to do everything you can to prevail because you've already
done everything you could do to plan out and to prevent this from ever happening
right you've done your due diligence but now this situation this person has
pushed you to the point where this is your last option and it should be your
last option right I want you to not have to fight it's not like a pacifist type
thing it's just a smart thing unless you're in the UFC and fighting is your
job you should always be looking for ways to not fight but being prepared for
when you do so this second F right here fight just remember fight your ass off
all right and then our third F is to follow up so like everything I do I am
about teaching and learning and learning from our past mistakes learning from you
know things we do well also in how can we get better so looking in every
situation even if it's a situation that you kind of detect that it's a potential
threat situation but it ends up not being put that into your system here and
turn it around a bit and go why did I think that was going to be a violent
encounter in an end up not being because every time you go back weather ends up
being something or not being something you are continuing to learn how could
you have prevented that violent encounter in the past how could you have
prepared yourself or your family better for that violent encounter so just
remember to always follow up and learn from what you've done in the past
alright so that is it remember those three F words for personal protection
flow through every situation that you're in
you should be flowing through your entire life next up is to fight fight
your ass off when it comes time to fight and then finally follow up learn from
your mistakes learn from your experiences whatever you do always be
getting better and improving yourself that is all I have time for today until
