Verstijvingsintensiteit 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.

Waarom dit gebeurt — het mechanisme

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.

Hoe het Avikzar-Systeem hierop antwoordt

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

Yehouda Avikzar (10e Dan) — De freeze is niet uw schuld — het is uw biologie. Maar trainen na er een te hebben beleefd, dat is uw verantwoordelijkheid.
