Hey buddy!

Yeah I don't Facebook or 'gram or anything. Just my blog and some private stuff. I have a few people that send me stuff from social media from time to time, mostly tactical world stuff...

I tend to agree as well.

Agreed wholeheartedly!

Had trouble getting logged in and let it slide. Anders has helped me get back. Not a lot of traffic these days I know but still a lot of relevance here.

Absolutely, Jim, my blog post was based on conversations over that article. And thanks for your input.

Working with weapons - especially live weapons, such as a shinken or live firearm - demands a...

While I have long carried firearms as part of my work, this year I have been making an effort to raise my ability, as I feel a lack. IME, modern firearms are just as much a martial discipline as the...

Interesting stuff there. Chris, do you know if that sogo kakutogi stuff part of their practice?

Interesting subject, thanks for the discussion, men!

Stephan Kesting at Grapplearts has interviewed Alex Kask of Bichu Den Takeuchi-ryu a few times. I enjoy the comparison and contrasting without the typical "us vs. them" BS that you see from both...

James - What budo do you study? And I'd be interested to hear how you felt that helped in these situations.

No embarrassment intended, I was searching shinan and that old thread came up and thought it was relevant.

But it is a reminder that nothing we write on the Internet ever goes away!

Speculation:

Chinese calls the compass zhi nan 指南 or zhi nan zhen 指南針... which would be "finger" and "south" (and needle with zhen..)

While not apparent in the translation, perhaps he was...

Are there supposed to be a lot of blank pages?

Agreed - medical training goes hand in hand with self defense. Using a TQ, and stopping other bleeds is most important to self defense (and sharp weapons or firearms training). Then CPR, and next I...
