Flinch Cover/Default Position

I have been looking for something like this for a very long time. I compilation of flinch response cover/Default Position. Lee Morrison of Urban Combative have done a pretty good job of presenting all the major flinch response cover – Default Position – I hope to expand on his list by adding supplementary Youtube videos and other details in the next couple of days about all these position.

I was first exposed to the Flinch Response indirectly when I was watching some of Paul Vunak‘s Rapid Assault Tactics (R.A.T.) DVD on employing the Straight Blast to set up more attack on your attacker back in late 2000. In his video he explained the 3 responses someone would have against the Straight Blast which are:

1. Cover
2. Retreat with hand extended
3. Turn side way into a standing fetal position

At the time, I did not understand the significance of the natural flinch response as I was still a beginner in my martial journey. As of late (the last 5 years) I started teaching more and more martial arts techniques base of the natural flinch response.  I hope to post a few videos of some of the new tactics and strategies that I have been working on very soon.
