Attention Gap

[DavidCC]

In an article posted in another thread (Meditation Sharpens the Mind) the researchers were measuring the efficacy of meditation by measuring the gap in subject's attention to perceptions as their attention shifted from one thing to another.

I thought this was an important point form the original article, more os even than the idea that meditation can reduce your gap.

So now has anyone (Dr LaTourette) ever worked on the offensive side of it? Inducing attentional gap. Dr. Crouch, this also reminds me of something you wrote about "making a cashier lose her register" which you never really got into any detail on...

I don't imagine this is as simple as "Look at the birdie!" at least not on an attacker who is older than 7 years old LOL. So what can you do to fixate the other's attention enough so that this gap is created? I think the best traps would even be non-visible.

What do you think?

I always liked "Your shoes untied."

Would you think "smack-talk" would have an affect? Or any method of illiciting a negative emotional response in the attacker?

I'm very interested to see what everyone has to say about this. Good idea for a thread!

Anything can be outstanding enough to hold their attention to the past, and you only need hold that attention long enough to have them fixate on another. Just control their attitude.

Well I have found that in my training and working scenerios.......WOW LOOK A QUARTER! Wait a minute, what were we talking about?

[DavidCC]

As I thought more about this, I realized that Kenpo is a defensive art. The attacker attacks, we respond. We need to recognize the gaps created by his attack, and use them to end any conflict before it goes any further.

Unlike in for example, a kendo match, there is no need for us to create the gap that will allow a successful attack - the attacker provides it by attacking. Also I think this is a crucial difference between sparring and fighting. Often in sparring attackers are more concerned with closing their own defenses than with attacking with full commit. So , this is why I think nobody had any good answers LOL

Yep.

Virtually EVERY WAZA has this concept in it.

The concept is very well expressed in the hypnotic hand-shake interrupt pattern, and is easily used many different ways as a break state to capture their mind prior to an attack.

In fact I've also devised several "energy attacks" that create the same momentary break states, done energetically.

Just about any thing linguistically..."remember a time when you got your butt kicked really bad..."

...also, in their energy fields they have specific locations for "good decision", "bad decision", "feel bad", "feel good", and you can have them access those past feeling unconsciously and then zap them when they are unconsciously age regressed.

And there are the unconsious anchors they have already hardwired into their neurology. Red like. Green light. Certain hand gestures. Thousands of them.

Even a smile will cause them to pause a brief second or two.

You can also trigger their Radiant Energy "feel good" pattens with certain hand gestures.

Tony? Tony have you seen my brother? Tony have you? I need to tell him that my car is made of peanut butter. Again! This is the third time! Where is my brother? Answer me Tony.

Well,

Chuckie baby used to make good friends with everyone else.

Shake hands, hug them, clap them on the back. Use that smile.

So they 'liked' him.

And that liking him was to their detriment.

And the judges liked him, which was to the detriment of the other participant.

It was a purposeful tactic done by him to manipulate both the judges and referee, and the other participants.

It worked.

Hummm?

I actually produced a 3 video series on this about 12 years back called "Secrets of Stealing His Spirit Before Battle".

The second part with Doc D is done with confusion tactics where you access their primary sensory system, and then you do something to throw it into confusion.

For example "high visuals" normally store lots of little pictures of what they are talking about just infront of their face about 2-4 feet infront of them.

While they are talking you can reach up and brush those pictures away as you say, "Have you ever had everything that you are thinking about just disappear, like right NOW, and no matter how HARD you try, they are GONE, gone, gone!"

Of course I'd never "use them" all the time.

Many many different examples.

1. A confusion tactic.

2. Most people do NOT want to hit the insane.

The only good part about you giving away money-maker seminar tidbits is that, without the Milton Model, VAKOG linguistic and paralinguistic indicators, meta-programs, and Master Pract level submodality training, most won't be able to suss what the heck you're referring to.

One I used happily bouncing (yes, I often cheated and hit first, especially when there was more than one guy), was the old, "What do you do when you see a red light *now*?" (you can even hold up your left palm for them to look at when you emphasize the part in bold, pointing to it with your right finger, instructing them essentially to see the light superimposed over the very small movie screen of your hand). Watch for the pupils to dilate a bit as the gaze turns inwards, and pop him while in trans-derivational search; grill, nuts or guts, won't matter. His attentional shields are so down in that 1/4 second (and hence, so too his unconscious internal body tensions that help him prepare for clashes of contact in the midst of an argument), that strike penetration will go deeper then you might have imagined, with devastating effect.

Sure they may see it coming, but peripheral attention (note: peripheral attention, not peripheral vision) won't catch it and communicate about it to the parts that matter in time to do anything about it.

I argued about this once with an old kenpo prof. I was complaining that kenpo required me to stand there and wait for something to happen (I was about 17 at the time, which made his response all the more shocking).

He took a long drag off his pipe, and exhaled the smoke while pensively saying, "You walk onto a football field, and see your wife being raped at knifepoint by a thug at the far end, while his partner is about to do the same thing to your 3 year old daughter. Are you telling me you're not going to race accross that field like a bat out of hell, and figure something out once you get there? Are you a.c.t.u.a.l.l.y. telling me that you're just going to run up to them, stand there, and wait for them to throw something at you?"

Kenpo is merely a tool; offensive or defensive depends on how we're willing to cultivate it. We have the ability to force the issue with a non-attacking opponent, it's just not typically taught as such for ethical and professional reasons. A claw hammer can be used to build a house, or empty a skull of its contents. Just a tool.
