Having recently taken up Fencing I should throw in a few cents here... First, one of the reasons I took up Fencing was for its crosstraining value - Bruce Lee used many techniques and concepts from Fencing in his creation of Jeet Kune Do. Many fo his best concpets are stolen from Fencing - the "...

I would like to fully support Mike's post. Understanding anatomy is important not only for wounding your attacker, but for understanding your own injuries. I believe everyone should have at least a basic undertanding of anatomy and first aid - more if possible. Consider that if you are attacked you ...

Primary goal. When confronted with a situation where you are wounded, are under fire, or otherwise in serious trouble - think primary goal. For the most part primary goal is always the same: stay alive. Do whatever to takes to stay alive. As Pachuko says - go, go, go... Keep your focus and keep your...

Daily wear is an Omega Seamaster. Out in the field I wear a Swiss Army watch with a web strap which I bought from the Swiss PX. In the gym its a Timex Ironman that just won't die - seriously, this thing is ancient. It has been used as a dive watch when I was diving three times a day for a year, it h...

Back to the DRONE thing... I bought a DRONE first and had it for two months before I finally got the Gunting. It was a brilliant plan as it gave me time to familiarize myself with the Gunting - how it moved, how it opened, how to draw and manipulate it without losing a finger... When I finally got t...

This is not mine - it comes from a friend at another forum, but I believe it holds true here: For real world self-defense with the open or empty hand, consider the circular, soft and indirect arts such as Judo, Tai Chi and Aikido. Judo and Tai Chi help a person rediscover his or her natural movement...
