The room was dark. The voices harsh. They suspected he was a spy. But could he hold his nerve? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some years ago, Channel 4 ran a reality TV show in the UK &#8211; <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/who-are-the-spies-in-channel-4s-spies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spies<\/a> <\/em>&#8211; where a small group of ordinary citizens were trained in espionage tradecraft and tested to see if they&#8217;d hold up as potential MI6 agents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This month&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/akaikido.co.uk\/index.php\/blog\/\">blog<\/a> brings six vital techniques taught to the would-be spies so they could survive interrogation. And they turn out to be remarkably useful in ordinary life for both physical and verbal self-defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Keep it simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Do no more than is necessary<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only answer the question you&#8217;re asked. Everything you add gives ammunition to the other side. The more you say, the more chance there is of getting caught out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In both physical and verbal confrontations, it&#8217;s easy to overcomplicate matters. Simplicity is the key. Having said that, simplicity is hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This applies equally to any verbal attack or argument in daily life. It&#8217;s tempting to put in an extra dig, a self-justification or a criticism. Don&#8217;t. It just adds fuel to the fire. In this way, I&#8217;ve seen people snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, in physical self-defence, it&#8217;s tempting to add an extra punch or a kick, to overstretch a joint or inflict pain (accidentally on purpose). Again, don&#8217;t. You may inadvertently provide the attacker with a way to counter. Worse, you may do real damage and end up in court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, you are only legally allowed to do what is necessary to make yourself safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay centred and just deal with what&#8217;s in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Establish rapport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Establish rapport with the interrogator &#8211; you want him (or her) to feel warm towards you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hypnotherapist Milton Erikson used to say that anything is possible if you have strong rapport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can learn complex techniques for establishing rapport. They&#8217;ll involve anything from body language to eye-movements. But the truth is that all rapport comes down to focusing on the other person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen. When under verbal attack, one effective strategy is to draw the other person out. Find out their real reasons for attacking you, and if possible move towards a goal that you can both agree on. Put yourself in their place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In physical Aikido, you often do precisely that &#8211; literally: turning alongside your attacker to face the same way. It&#8217;s a surprisingly powerful move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Don\u2019t disagree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Don&#8217;t fight back, be sarcastic or an any way antagonise.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the corollary of establishing rapport. Any attempt to hit back only gives your opponent more targets to aim at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In verbal Aikido, we talk about avoiding JADE &#8211; don&#8217;t <strong>J<\/strong>ustify, <strong>A<\/strong>rgue, <strong>D<\/strong>efend or <strong>E<\/strong>xcuse. All four can be very tempting, but they risk prolonging the attack. JADE feeds the attacker&#8217;s energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In physical Aikido, similarly, the temptation to fight back risks making things worse. Aikido isn&#8217;t fighting, but nor is it giving in. If you fight your attacker&#8217;s force, you&#8217;re lost. But if you stay connected &#8211; blend with the attacker&#8217;s force &#8211; you can have all his power at your disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Be consistent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>To survive interrogation, would-be successful spies should stick hard to their cover story (legend). Have an answer ready that fits consistently.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does this apply in daily life? Well, yes and no. Certainly, when under verbal attack, constantly changing your story isn&#8217;t a good look. It makes you appear untruthful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having said that, of course, if the other person is persuasive, there is nothing wrong with accepting you might have been wrong. Giving way on a small matter often allows you to reach positive agreement on the larger issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, in physical Aikido, you need to be consistent in your approach. If you start defending yourself you can&#8217;t give up half way. However, there are times when your attacker blocks a technique. At this point, inexperienced Aikidokas will frequently try to force it to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Better to find a way round the block, trying different moves, rather than kick at a brick wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Reveal vulnerabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Reveal vulnerabilities, the trainee spies were taught. It helps to get other people in rapport.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of us try to hide our weaknesses. Obviously, you need to take care which vulnerabilities you reveal &#8211; It&#8217;s probably not a good idea to tell your interrogator that you are afraid of heights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in spy school as in daily life, you can gain a great deal by sharing a small, relatable issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under verbal attack, it&#8217;s also important to accept valid criticism. Trying to dodge blame can make things worse. Nobody likes fessing up to a mistake, but it can be a surprisingly powerful move, reducing your antagonist&#8217;s room to continue the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a physical attack, the equivalent to dodging blame is fighting your opponent&#8217;s strength. It&#8217;s far better to retreat if necessary, drawing your opponent in, before blending and taking over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, you can go further and present a vulnerability in the form of a target. An attacker who makes rapid feints can be intimidating, as you don&#8217;t know which will turn out to be a real blow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To deal with this, you can try presenting him with an apparent opening. For example, deliberately stand so that you appear vulnerable to a punch to the stomach. If he takes the bait, which he often will, then you&#8217;re ready to snap the trap shut, using whatever Aikido technique is suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Pay attention to detail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Pay attention to the smallest&nbsp;details.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All too often spies are caught through missing the smallest detail. In verbal self-defence detail matters too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if an attacker says they are &#8220;angry&#8221;, don&#8217;t risk annoying them further by suggesting they&#8217;re feeling &#8220;irritable.&#8221; That wasn&#8217;t what they said. Worse still, don&#8217;t mind-read and assume that they&#8217;re angry when they haven&#8217;t used the word at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen carefully to the precise words that your attacker uses. Each detail can be useful to you, while getting a detail wrong can inflame the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In physical Aikido, the precise detail of where you stand or put your hands can mean the difference between failure and success. The smallest movement of a foot can put you in a dangerous position or a safe one. While shifting your hand a centimetre can turn a blocked technique into a powerful throw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which tips to survive interrogation will you use in daily life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six valuable tips.
