Seeing the same thing from different angles and the repetition is to help implant it in your subconscious. It is intentional, because it's designed as training the "Observe" and "Orient" segment of your OODA loop that is very seldom worked on in a training environment. The training aids in increasing the speed and accuracy of your "instinctive" recognition of threat development as well as develops confidence in your assessment and your ability to recall and articulate the body language indicators you saw. It's also why we watched the same video repeatedly but concentrating on different people's reactions, to further "burn in" what a threat looks like, what a transition looks like, etc.
I completely agree with you, BBI. It's not often that we take time to really dig into a subject/event and noodle on it. You created an excellent opportunity for this valuable learning. You opened my eyes and I will continue to learn and perpare as best as I can.
On the surface, it may seem you're wasting time by watching the same event from a few different angles. Take a moment and consider the infinitesimal amount of detail included in the different camera shots...
- Discover how your perspective can greatly alter your "reality" during an event
- Imagine yourself, in the same scenario, as each particular victim
- How would you respond, considering your current training level?
- What's the BEST way to respond, if training level weren't an issue?
- How would you position yourself in a public area to give you the best chance for survival?
- What methods of carry are most effective for you?
- What are the advantages of on-body carry vs off-body carry for particular situations?
- Realize that the more fit you are, the harder you are to kill/victimize.
All of this scenario study can go a long way towards preparing your human brain (not the "lizard" or "monkey" areas of the brain) to work properly under stress while solving the OODA loop.
There is so much learning to be had from these videos, that it's almost limitless. Thanks for collecting and sharing all of this footage and sharing it, along with your expert perspective to the group BBI.
