* Such stress affects a person's vision, motor skills and cognitive procession. 
* Whether activated or dormant the ANS causes physiological changes. ]]> 2017-02-05 17:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151673331 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151674270 * Organs regulated by the ANS are heart, stomach and intestines
* Divided into 2branches: Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nercous system (SNS).
*PNS - When activated, allows us to "rest & digest" or save energy, AKA homeostasis.
*SNS - When activated, provides us with the ability to "fight or flight".
* Refer to ANS video for more information]]> 2017-02-05 17:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151674270 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151675573 2017-02-05 17:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151675573 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151676009 *Consists of 2 basic categories: nerve pressure points and nerve motor points.

* Points consist of: 
-Mandibular angle
-Hypoglossal 
-Brachial Plexus Origin 
-Infra Orbital
-Brachial Plexus Clavical Notch
-Jugular Notch]]> 2017-02-05 19:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151682958 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151683250 *Striking points that create motor dysfunction and distraction (stun). 
 *Only injuries acquired from these techniques should be bruising of the muscles. Stuns will last approximately 3-7 seconds.
* PPCT uses only 8 motor points of the body. 
-Brachial Plexus Tie-in 
-Suprascapular Nerve Stun
- Radial Nerve (top of forearm)
-Median Nerve (inner forearm)
-Femoral Nerve (inner upper thigh)
-Common Peroneal Nerve (outer upper thigh)
-Tibial Nerve (Back of knee , just abouve calf muscle)
-Superficial Peroneal Nerve (base of shin just above instep)]]> 2017-02-05 19:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151683250 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151683717 Based upon using nerve motor points as targets and using a method of striking that maximizes the transfer of Kinetic Energy.
Efficiency of the strike is based upon:
-Velocity
-Mass
-Energy Duration
If done correctly, this will cause a motor dysfunction lasting from 30 seconds to several minutes. ]]> 2017-02-05 19:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151683717 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151684265 2017-02-05 19:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151684265 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151684536 There are 4 ways to deliver a brachial stun. 
-Backhand
-Backhand forearm
-Palm heel 
-Palm facing forearm]]> 2017-02-05 20:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151684536 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151687137 The appropriate stance to take when being approached by an agitated person is critical. 
- Feet shoulder width apart, placing the dominate foot forward and opposite foot back. 
- Holding hands up in front of your body at about shoulder height.
-Your arms should be bent at about 45 degrees with your dominant hand slightly behind your weak hand.  
-Making sure that hands are open palms facing aggressor. So as not to aggravate the attacker even further.
-Closed fists tell the opponent that you want to fight and they take it as a challenge. 
*DO NOT BLADE YOUR BODY.
* Do not align your feet too close together or directly in front of one another. This will throw off your center of balance and make you an easier target and make it very hard to properly execute any blocks, strikes or kicks.
This particular stance helps to keep your body in a balanced and optimal position. ]]> 2017-02-05 20:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151687137 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151688249 Reaction time: is the mental process of perceiving a stimulus, analyzing and evaluating the stimulus, and the initiating the appropriate physical response.
Movement time: is the time from the initiation of the motor skill till its completion
Response time: is the combination of both reaction time and movement time]]> 2017-02-05 21:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151688249 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151689304 *"Proposes that increases in arousal are accompanied in the quality of performance up to a certain point, after which additional increases in arousal result in a deterioration in the quality of performance" (Sage, 1984)
* Optimal performance for information processing and motor skills occur when the resting heart rate is between 115 and 145 BPM. Performance deteriorates quickly when the resting heart rate accelerates beyond 175 BPM.]]> 2017-02-05 21:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151689304 shayleecarlock https://padlet.com/shayleecarlock/hdxrf78l5tgh/wish/151689928 *Defined as: the minimum safe zone that an officer should maintain when dealing with others. 
*The minimum safe distance from a subject should be at least 6 feet.
*The Reactionary Gap Principle works on the military close quarter combat concept that  distance equals increased reaction time
