So as a basic training to teach disorientation without panic or confusion and loosing your survival system we use a swimming pool and a system called "Drownproofing". As humans we have a natural fear of drowning and the pool gives us a great tool to train better to deal with fear and being able to react under stress. Drownproofing was developed by swimming coach Fred Lanoue, who was known to his students as "Crankshaft" because of his limping gait. It was first taught in 1940. His method was so successful that it gained national recognition and the US Navy took interest, adopting it as part of their standard training. Once they had mastered the Drownproofing technique, students learned how to stay afloat with their wrists and ankles bound, swim 50 yards (46m) underwater, and retrieve diving rings from the bottom of the pool using their teeth, along with some other activities. They also began to add with this some other disorienting elements like "cold water conditioning" by letting them become very cold which stresses more and more sensors of the body as it approaches hypothermia. We've adapted these training techniques for our purposes. For example, we also unbalance the vision by splashing water into the eyes with hands or water guns, or give students goggles painted black to block the vision. Another water-based training element is to box and kick after being in cold water for a period of time. Since the skin is a sensor and has had to deal with the cold, it causes disorientation. We also perform knife fighting in the water while another student splashes water to their eyes. This helps to simulate eyes injured in a fight so the students learn they can't count on vision only. It's why sensitivity exercises are so necessary in martial arts. Another successful method of training is to have our students released from guillotine holds while they are under water so the fear and stress level is more realistic. We do throws in the water…water is the best mat! Water is excellent for cardio training as well. This kind of training is an example of how Kapap Academy helps its students have more realistic experiences to gain better knowledge and judgement to deal with real life CQB. Future DVD's will contain examples of the above types of training. We encourage you to purchase our current new DVD set to get a feel for Kapap Academy training.
