I started a project 3-4 years ago called ”Operation Mind-Fuck”, it’s goal was to have a set of words to create chaos in the opponents mind. I have reached to this, after a huge research that didn’t help this project but gained knowledge in other areas, to make the opponent or more to multitask while loading up to a full power punch from what looks like a submissive posture. 1 to say “Are you stupid there is a camera behind you up on the wall”, this will create the doubt to get caught on camera and if he should turn around and peak if there is one, no matter what he chooses he will multitask in his mind and have a significantly reduced response time. 2 to from a submissive posture take a small step forward angle the body to wind up to a hard punch with the hands up to protect the head in case the plan goes wrong and he hits first, to say “I am really sorry, don’t I know you? ” and punch, the question will again raise doubt to get caught and slow down response time.

Anyone else who has a better approach please share it.

Verbal Judo: Diffusing Conflict Through Conversation

Academic-turned-cop and best-selling author George Doc Thompson describes how tactical language allows leaders to achieve their goals. Daniel Ames, the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics, confirms that managing conflict is a critical predictor of leadership success and shows how what works in the streets converges with recent findings in social science. The workshop was part of the Program on Social Intelligences Science Meets Practice series, which pairs hands-on leadership training with breaking insights in psychology research.
