How Does it work?
Students of this training are constantly reporting how "real" the fights seem. The first job of the Bulletman is to make you feel like you are actually being assaulted, verbally and physically. Once the fear/adrenaline response kicks in for the student, the brain transitions from cognitive (thinking) to survival mode. There is a switch from one part of the brain to another more primitive part that rules our instinctive reactions for survival. Research has shown that this part of the brain can process about five major bits of information and act on them. This is why real fights are not the flashy beautiful choreographed battles that we see in Van Damme movies. In reality the "deer frozen in the headlight" syndrome is evident as our brain shuts down, blocking access to those beautifully refined techniques that we studied for years to master. What the brain usually links to in martial artists under stress are those techniques that are simple and most ingrained in us- the basics!
