I took Mindset Labs Introduction to Force on Force class today. Wow, what an experience. This was the first training class that I have taken, and while I don't have anything to compare it to, I can say that I found the class extremely beneficial.
What did we learn? In a word, mindset. This is not a class on marksmanship. It is not a class on combat. It is a class on mindset, which is the most important skill that you can develop. Spending time at the range is important, but it does not teach you how to assess a situation, formulate a response, and then execute that response with skill.
Along with many other topics, we went over the three parts of a fight; before the fight, during the fight, and after the fight. Too many times it seems that people focus on what they would do during the fight, neglecting the importance of training, developing situational awareness, and maintaining a healthy body and mind. Most of the time we also ignore what will happen after the fight. Are we ready for that situation? What does it entail? These were all things that we went over in the lecture and during the scenario.
As for the scenario based exercise, well you'll have to take the class to find out more. All I can tell you is that I learned a lot, had great critique of my abilities, and came away wanting even more training.
Perhaps the most important thing that I learned today is that I can either continue along the way that I have been, or I can actively choose to improve myself by developing a training plan to address my weaknesses.
Thank you Shay for putting on a great class. I am looking forward to my next training class with Mindset Labs.
