Which step involves applying pressure with counter pressure?

• A. Stabilize the target
• B. Pressure/counter pressure
• C. Apply the pressure using Digital Tip
• D. Loud repetitive verbal commands

Answer: (B)

Applying pressure with counter pressure is the step where you intentionally create a controlled force against the subject while the opposing force is used to stabilize and balance that pressure. This coordinated action allows you to gain control safely, keep both parties protected, and reduce the chance of injury. Stabilizing the target focuses on position and balance without applying force. Using a digital tip describes a specific method of applying pressure, not the broader step that includes counter pressure. Loud repetitive verbal commands are about communication to gain compliance, not about applying physical pressure.
