I would say I'm in decent shape. Especially compared to back when I was a training junkie. I still have a 6-pack, but it's hidden under a little bit of flab, even though I'm approaching my ideal weight again. I look pretty good in a shirt, though... 😄 One of my former training partners was about 5'...

Fast knockouts I REALLY like the third one. The spear elbow to the face/head. The spear elbow is devastating in-close, whether to the body or to the head, and is something that is practical for actual self-defense (with lots of practice and training, of course). https://youtube.com/shorts/M_gEivVhMI...

I went to the doctor’s office a couple weeks ago, and fully clothed, my weight is just below 175 lbs. I thought I might be heavier, but that’s great. I’m 5’ 9” barefoot, so I’m probably 5’ 10” in shoes. But I always go by my height BAREFOOT, because that is one’s honest height. Most guys measure th...

The first thing he discusses is kinda funny, IMO. Gross, but funny.

The incident he discusses where AI was used to frame the school principal is among the types of stuff that really bothers me:

I am a health nut and self defense junkie. If you cannot defend yourself because you are stiff and overweight you are not serious. You are full of bull! I'm hoping that Ozempic helps me to lose 45 to 50lbs, and together with flexibility exercises and walking I become more nimble. Everyone isn't the...

"I Don't Endorse Any Self-Defense Social Media Instructors!!! These are 3 Reasons Why" https://youtu.be/7VmRHTUYYSI?si=YMnm6kVtsl6vrfmy Jim He's right. I'm only 5ft-8in, and what he says is correct. Soon I hope, I'll be much lighter and most of the techniques that I relied upon will not w...

I know that LC200N is known to hold an edge better than H1/H2 in PE, but I don't know if it holds an edge better in SE. The only thing I would like better (in general) about SE LC200N compared to SE H1/H2 is its ability to be FFG'd.

I've recently become a *little* interested in the AD15 Lite. It looks like a cool, fun design. It's also fairly low-priced. IF I ever buy another knife ever again in the future. My main hesitation around it is I don't trust that the pocket clip isn't a pocket eater, like every other CS pocket clip....

TOTALLY DISARM AND NO LONGER CARRY That was the thought that I had. Very serious. Yes, me first. I must be depressed, over-tired I thought. I cannot be serious, can I? Would you ever unilaterally DISARM and never carry a weapon of any kind in public? Are you ready to deal with whatever comes your w...
