Reactionary Zones Definition of Success: To understand more about pairing the decisional process with the lack of time and managing space.
People have a hard time managing distances so let's work on understanding, seeing and believing. We see people making the same self protection decisions at 25 ft, 12 ft and 6ft so we wanted to offer this class to understand how fast violence happens, limited choices based on distance, and making the BEST decision possible based on the space and time available.
Anthropologist Edward T. Hall defines four distance zones maintained by healthy, adult, middle-class Americans in his book, The Hidden Dimension. This is an intriguing book explains “proxemics” and the difference in “distance awareness” among many cultural groups. There are several “aspects” of proxemics. The one that Hall writes about is the distance maintained between people when they are communicating. He named his distances or zones Public, Social, Personal & Intimate.
In self protection distance management, we can use Hall's research to our purpose by measuring the violence options available to THE BAD PERSON and measure the options available to US to react + act = respond.
We have named these 4 spaces "Reactionary Zones" and have broken these 4 spaces down to simple terms.
You have the MOST time to react (25 feet and beyond)
You have SOME time to react (12 feet to 25 feet)
You have the LEAST time to react (6 feet to 12 feet)
You have NO time to react (under 6 feet).
This clinic is NOT about techniques and tools. It is about recognizing DISTANCES quickly and making the BEST decision based on the space and time available.
