• What is the T position in self defense?

  • Sources:

    The T position in self-defense is a tactical stance where you align your shoulders at the side of your opponent, creating a configuration resembling the letter "T". This position allows you to hit your opponent while they cannot hit you effectively. In a conversation with Tim Ferriss, Dave Camarillo described this as part of good boxing practice, where gaining an angle on your opponent is crucial. This positioning can escalate to using various tools at hand for self-defense, like a flashlight, which Camarillo discussed for blinding and striking the opponent's "triangle of pain" for maximum effect 1.
