In this episode Allen Hughes talks about the transformational quality of DROPPING. In self-defense when we DROP our level, weight, or position the relationship is transformed immediately. DROPPING is not a gradual thing, it happens all at once. That is why it is so powerful!
In the case of a rear bear hug the defender drops all their weight, all at once, and that 150-200 pound weight transformation is profound in the relationship. Now the attacker is off balance, could be thrown, and immediately struggles to hold on.
In Life Defense we DROP our level, listen and immediately the discussion has changed from disconnected and contentious to powerful listening of each other by connecting immediately to that listening space. This transformation can make all things possible. The relationship is altered and will never be the same.
