Post-Conflict Resolution

[lordtariel]

I feel we need to be teaching people how to deal with post-conflict issues. After a fight what type of questions are the police going to ask you? Can you remember what your attacker looks like after you've escaped so you can report them? Can you identify the type of weapon he had(rifle, revolver, deringer, ect.) or the type of car he was driving? What sorts of leagal issues will come up after a self-defense situation? How do you deal with the mental and emotional fallout after a confrontation?

All of these are important issues that seem to be ignored. Does anybody out here do this kind of training?

I agree completely, Lordtarial. I think this is an important issue to talk about, and I know that I have never been in this situation. I think it would be a great idea to have a police officer come to a dojo and discuss this issue, and then allow practitioners to ask questions about fighting in general.

I may address this issue with one of our black belts, who is also a Police officer here.

Totally concur. I wouldn't limit it to post-conflict resolution, either, but include conflict deescalation.
