I don't think this is particuarly why this is included in the course. If they've reached the point of potential threat, then this goes out the window.Catfight wrote:The whole portion of dispute resolution seems inappropriate for our needs as CHL instructors. Part of an effective self defense plan isnt to stand there and attempt to communicate with a potential threat (not literally of course, but the concept of message sent, message received, feedback etc. doesnt really apply). We should be teaching situational awareness and how to extricate oneself from a potentially dangerous encounter. Of course, this is my opinion and your mileage may vary.
I'm pretty sure this was specifically included to counter the anti's "There's going to be people shooting eachother over every minor arguement!" propaganda against CHL.
so DPS said "We'll add conflict resolution training to the course so that every minor scuffle doesn't result in a gunfight"
