"That is a point we note all the time. If you are not operating in the Cause-State, and if, when you are training, you are not in the Cause State, then when that situation happens, when the panel door opens and the guys in black get out with the duct tape and weapons, you know what you are going to do? You are going to sit there and go, "Oh my god, this is for real." You are not going to immediately recognize the situation and immediately start picking your targets and go immediately into Cause-State. Because you didn't train that way."
-Tim Larkin (Target-Focus Training)

"Our everyday world often makes us too relaxed--careless--and the transition to the extreme situations is very difficult. It becomes so hard to comprehend that people are here to kill you."
- Vladimir Vasiliev (Systema)
