4 Stages of Conflict Resolution
At Singapore Ip Man Ving Tsun Kuen
The 4 stages of confrontation we teach are
1. When to walk away or run away
2. When the first stage is not possible, when to control the person e.g a chin na(seizing) lock on body or choke to immobilise the person
3. When to use lightened Striking as a warning e.g a whipping pak sao to the arm or taps on targets that will break the persons will.
4. Striking to neutralise the target( we dont teach this unless they are instructors and we validate their martial virtues)
In stage 1. We recognise alot of fights or confrontations are not about life and death, but about the pride or ego or the fear of losing face. Many a time people feel insulted and by raising a hand, they feel they can redemn their pride or prove themselves to be the stronger man
Our training, we teach them to have real skills and pressure test them(6 attackers on 1) so that when its about ego and pride, they can and should always walk away because we have trained them to be a weapon. Liken to having a loaded gun. If you have a gun(hidden) on you and someone picks a fight with you over a trival thing like cutting your lane in driving, you can walk away, because that person had no idea he could have been killed, if he had known he was looking down a barrel of a gun, he would have with commonsense, walked away. We walk away empowered because we know its his lucky day and he should go buy the lottery- there is never a need to proof you could have taken the person out.
Its self awareness about who we are, what we can do, and our principles(martial and ethical virtues)
