OFFLINE Attacks

<p>In self-defense we use the term <em><strong>OFFLINE</strong></em> to describe our defensive body position from an attack. An example of this would be an angled stepping toward, or away from a kick. We also diminish space and create space to put us either too close or too far from the most powerful arch of the kick.</p> <p>Much like getting off the railroad tracks when facing a speeding locomotive, we take ourselves <em><strong>OFFLINE</strong></em> to avoid the impact of a powerful kick as the angle, or triangulation naturally lessens potential harm. Even if the kick lands the force is greatly reduced. Powerful kickers know this and are constantly adjusting their position for maximum distance, and effect.</p> <p>In life, or Life Defense, <em><strong>OFF-LINING</strong></em> has the same effect. If the attacker is your moody teenage daughter, an over angry coworker, or looming project deadline, stepping <em><strong>OFFLINE</strong></em> will take you out of harms reach.</p> <p>The physical, and emotional body position you take by not standing toe to toe with people in upset, will have the same effect. Even looming project deadlines are better handled this way. That’s right, in the scheme of your entire life, and what you hold most dear, any given project would be handled best by employing the <em><strong>OFFLINE PRINCIPLE </strong></em>rather than facing your Goliath toe to toe.</p> <p>Yes, I did just reference the Bible…David’s strategy was not to go toe to toe with the giant. Instead, he used his skill and distance to <em><strong>OFFLINE</strong></em> and win the day.</p> <p>Consider that it’s never a good idea to go toe to toe fighting anyone, or anything. A far better way to deal with people in conflict is <em><strong>OFF-LINING.</strong></em> Be like David and <em><strong>OFFLINE</strong></em> to defeat your giants…</p> <p>#lifedefense #offline #allenhughes</p> <p>https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/EEOAXRLjswb</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allen-hughes/message
