Congratulations IBDD Instructor Graduates! This hidden page is just for you! Please do not share this with anyone. You have EARNED the right to this page and it's information through hard work, time away from family, the expense and the travel! Thank you for training with us and we are here for you so ask questions!
When teaching, please follow our IBDD "The Class" requirements and keep the spirit of IBDD intact while representing our IBDD learning system.
Please go over the 8 most common "decisions" and the importance of the less popular "9th" option. Please discuss each option, use the Image Cards as their visual cue GO SIGN, and the other "meat and potatoes" on IBDD. When you follow these basic guidelines, then no matter where you are located, IBDD "The Class" will be similar across the country.
Outside of our basic requirements, each IBDD Certified Instructor can run your class based on your own personal preferences, experiences and education. We love that some IBDD Certified Instructors will be ADDING IBDD's learning system to your existing classes and some will be building custom classes, and NOT running "The Class" like some other IBDD Certified Instructors, BUT when teaching, they will keep the spirit of IBDD intact and will represent our IBDD learning system.
Spread your winds and FLY! Be unique and surpass our expectations so we can attend one of your classes and politely STEAL your ideas! Bahahahah! Kidding, kind-of! GET AFTER IT!

I would like to add one more thing before we move on. I would like to thank my husband Brian Hill and my dear friend Claude Werner for helping me bring IBDD to life! They both played very important roles, and still do. Brian is the front man, the genius, and the best IBDDIC Coach EVER. Claude motivated me to think deeper, helped me make tough decisions and I proudly placed his name on our IBDDIC OPTION CARDS. I also want to thank Gary Klein, Force Science Institute, Steve Tarani, Psychology Today, Gavin de Becker, William Aprill, Chuck Haggard, Craig Douglas, John Murphy, John Correia, Greg Ellifritz, Andrew Branca, Massad Ayoob, Marty Hayes and SOOOOO many more outstanding people for putting out excellent information. You all have played a huge part in creating IBDD, have made a positive impact in the self defense community and are appreciated more than you know.

11-04-2021: Please make note that after much research and experience, we have decided to make a 9th OPTION into an image card to add to IBDDCI 8 OPTION cards.
WE HIGHLY recommend that all IBDD CI add this 9th OPTION card.
|
|
If you purchased your IBDD Kit or NO Kit prior to 11-12-21, then your purchase did not include the NEW rare 9th OPTION card. We highly recommend you add this to your props table. Even though it is rare, there are a handful of people that DO train Force on Force and DO meet the requirements to "use" this card. If you purchased your Kit or NO Kit AFTER 11-12-21, then your kit INCLUDED this rare 9th OPTION.
Practices combatives with a non-corporative partner
Past extensive history of combative style training
Integrated weapons training with modern weapons (firearm, knife, club, etc.).
If they do not meet these requirements, then you cannot use the 9th Force on Force OPTION.
- If your student opts to use this 9th OPTION, it must be their ONE good FIRST decision and they will need to cognitively sack afterwards (as applicable).
- This is the HONOR SYSTEM. Here are the requirements in order to opt for the Force on Force option.

NEW NEW NEW! Reactionary Zones (see below).
- If your IBDDIC class was BEFORE January 2022, then there was NO RZ so YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE THIS ONLINE COURSE for continuing education.
- Any IBDDCI courses AFTER January 2022 will include basic RZ information. Similar to what you see below.
- Shelley Hill is your Coach.
- If you want Reactionary Zones in greater detail and would like to use our AWESOME RZ SLIDES in your classes, then you need to participate in a 2 hour ZOOM presentation for some continuing education.
- Public RZ are scheduled roughly once a month, are $40 per person and you are most welcome.
- Do you prefer a "one on one" session? It is roughly 2 hours and is $60 for a private session.
- You will receive a Reactionary Zone Certification of Competition via email.
- You will receive a discount code after class that gives you 10% off IBDD KITS, NO KITS or one of our 3 Smart Choices learn systems for children.
- FYI, this information is so valuable we would love to include this 2 hour sessions in our 2 day IBDDIC course but we just don't have the time.
- Contact Shelley if you have any questions.

REACTIONARY ZONES
Anthropologist Edward T. Hall defines four distance zones maintained by healthy, adult, middle-class Americans in his book, The Hidden Dimension. This is an intriguing book explains “proxemics” and the difference in “distance awareness” among many cultural groups. There are several “aspects” of proxemics. The one that Hall writes about is the distance maintained between people when they are communicating. He named these distances or zones Public, Social, Personal & Intimate. Because of Halls framework, we KNOW people can FEEL the pressure of whether the person belongs in that ZONE/SPACE. People have a hard time managing distances so in IBDD we will touch on pairing the decisional process with the lack of time and managing space. We need to think about how fast violence happens, limited choices and making the BEST decision based on the space and time available. Standing still is a bad idea but we are presenting this way to help you understand how TIME and SPACE effects your ability to respond. In self protection distance management, we can use Hall's research to our purpose by measuring the violence options available to THE BAD PERSON and measure the options available to US to react + act = respond. We have named these spaces "Reactionary Zones", MOST time (25 feet and beyond), SOME time (12 feet to 25 feet), LEAST time (6 feet to 12 feet) and NO time (under 6 feet). |
MOST time to react: 25ft & BEYOND
SOME time to react: 12ft - 25ft
LEAST time to react: 6ft - 12ft
NO time to react: 6ft and UNDER
- No one can control this distance.
- ROUGHLY 1.5 seconds or more to sprint that distance.
- People have a right to be there, until they don’t.
- Usually in no danger. No threat.
- MOST time for early warning decisions.
- MOST time to decide what to do like be prepared w flashlight or pepper spray IN HAND.
- MOST time to gather more information. Can you see their hands? Weapons? Movement towards waist? Hidden hand position?
- Make the distance come ALIVE by walking or running away from that person. Do they care? Follow?
SOME time to react: 12ft - 25ft
- Still hard to control this distance.
- People still have a right to be there, until they don’t.
- ROUGHLY 1 -1.5 seconds to sprint that distance.
- They are right on the edge of what Hall calls Public and Social space.
- SOME time to decide what to do like to have pepper spray IN HAND, avoid, etc.
- SOME time to tool cycle.
- SOME time to gather more information. Can you see their hands? Weapons? Movement towards waist? Hidden hand position?
- Make the distance come ALIVE by walking or running away from that person. Do they care? Follow?
LEAST time to react: 6ft - 12ft
- Can you see their hands? YES
- ROUGHLY .75 - 1 second to sprint that distance.
- LEAST time OR “just enough time” if you are READY for the fight.
- Do you have…decisional training? Tool training? Pre-need decision in place?
- Without training and practice, probably no space or time for “tool cycling”
- At 6ft you can BOTH extend your arms and touch each other.
- A stride length is roughly 3 feet so at 12 feet they are only 3 strides from you to reach out and grab you.
- Not enough space to run BUT movement and barriers gives you distance.
- Verbal commands.
- Pepper Spray.
- Force on Force.
- Escalation of force.
NO time to react: 6ft and UNDER
- NO sprinting. They are THERE!
- This distance is “THE FIGHT”
- FAILURE ZONE! We did not manage the space in the zones that were further from us OR we were attacked from behind/ambush.
- This is FULL ACTION time. The fight is upon us.
- You need to ACT first…not second.
- Force on Force is a MUST.
- Now, you have to EARN THE SPACE to get away so you can make other decisions to get to safety.
