The four fighting D's.On KRAV MAGA

"The 3rd stage of awareness IN kRAV MAGA is 'awareness of
your enemy'.

By this I mean knowing your enemy's rituals
and how they are going to try and attack you.

An attacker will use'The Four D'S' when preparing
for an attack.

Dialogue,
Deception,
Distraction and
Destruction

I will cover each one of these for you.

There are two types of Dialogue to concern our
selves with - these are Hot or Cold Dialogue.

Hot Dialogue- This type of dialogue is aggressive
in nature and is often followed by a gratuitous
assault. It is often initiated by eye contact followed
by a question. The attacker generally DOESN'T want
anything from you except to cause you physical
harm. Below is the ritual.

Eye Contact
The question (what the hell are you looking at)
The approach
Question reiteration (I said what the hell are you looking at)
Actual Challenge (you want some then)
Physical push or poke
Reiteration of challenge followed by attack.

Then there is 'Cold Dialogue'

This type of dialogue is used to disarm and distract
the potential victim, commonly used in muggings
and rapes. Usually used as a question for instance
he may ask for direction, the time have you seen
a dog etc. All designed to make you lower your guard
while you are approached by his accomplice or a weapon
is drawn."
