Erstarrungsintensität 3/5

Fight, flight, freeze: which response to choose?

You don't choose the response — your brain picks in 250ms. But training determines which response is available. Goal: keep all 3 options open — flee if possible, fight if necessary, never freeze.

Warum es passiert — der Mechanismus

3F Theory (Walter Cannon 1915, Bracha 2004): fight-flight-freeze + fawn + flop. The brain evaluates: distance, terrain, number, perceived strength, prior experience. Response is never 100% fight or 100% flight — it's a cocktail.

Wie das Avikzar-System darauf antwortet

Yehouda says: 'Flee = victory. Fight = necessity. Freeze = failure'. The program prioritizes tactical flight (create opening then flee), not extended combat.

Yehouda Avikzar (10. Dan) — Der Freeze ist nicht Ihre Schuld — es ist Ihre Biologie. Aber zu trainieren, nachdem Sie einen erlebt haben, ist Ihre Verantwortung.
