I've been reading some on the subject of lentation and tineko. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's essentially slowing down everything around you by increasing your rate of perception by controlling adrenalin rushes. Think Spidey Sense. To me, it seems really useful in the event of a fight, and I've seen a few guidebooks/people claiming to teach lentation. The only thing is, a controlled adrenalin rush seems a bit cheesy, so I'm curious if any of you know whether or not there's truth to lentation/tineko?

Total bullshit.

Don't see how it shouldn't be possible. But I belive total control would be hard to learn. I wouldn't depend on it.

Wow, THAT'S a term I haven't heard in a while. While the phenomenon does occur, typically in a high-stress situation, "harnessing" is both extremely unlikely, and, probably, extremely harmful. In addition, I'm not sure what it would do, since the, let's call it, "time displacement effect" seems to apply only to our perception of events as they occur, not the actual speed at which our body moves and reacts.

Yeah... no.

Being in a crisis situation definitely screws with your sense of time, but it's a physiological response getting you ready to fight or run away. Your perception is actually restricted (tunnel vision) and you lose fine motor skills. (meaning you're not enhanced) If I remember right your body is concentrating oxygen to your core in the interest of keeping you alive. Something like that.

I don't suppose you could do that at will unless you can induce panic attacks at will.

You can increase your effective perception by practicing observation strategies. It doesn't even matter much what strategies you use, IMO, as long as they're systematic. You can also increase your effectiveness in a crisis by relying on gross motor skills and remembering to look around because your peripheral vision is restricted.

...what Eon said
and
you can mount a bunch of xmas lights that blink at random
on a flat board on a wall,
stand close and practice touching each light as it blinks
and
BREATHE while you practice.

In six weeks of doing it daily, you will see improvement

I wanted to mention that guy. But I liked my response better.

The guy that was claiming was talking about holding in "release" until he could levitate, yes?


You can't control adrenaline but you can control yourself.

S.E.A.L. s are men who can do what is needed without adrenaline - calmly

This reminds me of when a friend and I used to goof around playing ping pong. We'd start with one ball, add another, and another. Our goal was not to beat each other but to keep the volley going for as long as possible. After a year or so we actually got pretty good, up to four going at once for several minutes at a time. The weird part was that for several minutes after a particularly good volley we both experienced what, I suppose good be called a perceptual dialation effect. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. We were both comic book nuts so of course we thought of super powers.

Problems with practical use:

1. It only lasted for a few minutes.

2. It was actually a bit confusing and sometimes made us dizzy.

3. Carrying a ping pong table around and asking the bad guys to hold on for a few hours while we get our powers working.

But it sure was fun to imagine we had superpowers.

Berserker rage?

I'd think the berserker thing would be more a, "I don't care if I survive so i can devote everything to the fight" effect.

The most likely theory is self hypnosis. I found berserk quite intresting as a MA a few years ago and tried to recreate the rage. Worked on on lifting, but found it took to long time to activate to be used in effective self defense.

Dogman, that is why S.E.A.L.s use guys that don't need it

beserker rage is uncontroled adrenaline in a body large enough for anyone to care
if they are nearby.

I'd love to do a thread about self hypnosis.
I have about five, simple truths to share.
If someone else starts it, I'll post


That ping pong thing is worth getting good act.
Think about your first year at a piano...not so good...

but 10 years...maybe people pay you to play.

I vote for that pingpong thing getting more attention
