I don’t care what martial art or self-defense system you study, or how strong and athletic you are. Nor do I care if you carry a knife or firearm. Tactical folder, Bowie Knife, 9 mm, .357, .45, .44, or a Sherman tank, it doesn’t matter. It just doesn’t matter. The equipment you carry and the…
The “Griffin Grip” is a non-lethal pressure point self-defense tool that literally fits in the palm of your hand. In a nutshell, you could say it is a hard plastic ring you wear upside down on your finger, so the plastic part is under your finger inside your hand, rather than on top of the…
Self-defense. What is it? Most people immediately think of physical skills such as punching and kicking when you say self-defense. In a flier I saw recently for a woman’s self-defense class, it said participants must bring their own boxing gloves. I’m not sure just what this class taught by some MMA competitors will contain, but…
I find it interesting that I am writing this review a week after a major snowstorm hit Buffalo, NY, and set a new record for snowfall in 24 hours, passing the record listed on page 363 of this book where Silver Lake Colorado received 75.8 inches of snow in 24 hours back in 1921. “Extreme…
These little credit card knives have become popular recently. I was provided one by Muzitao to review, and find it to be a handy little knife that can be easily tucked inside a wallet or another similar place. In the “credit card” formation, the blade is protected, but you can unfold it where the polypropylene…
“You don’t have to fight like me; you just have to fight well.” – Michael D. Janich This is an important concept. We are all different. We must adapt techniques and concepts to our own physical build and capabilities. The goal for safety …and self-defense is personal to each person. I want to help YOU…
I’ve recently been looking at various tactical pens for my own use and carry, as well as for a future DVD. (And training videos at the Survive and Defend member site.) While I’d never call one of these my “tactical pen” to law enforcement or TSA officers, I do believe these tools have a place…
Hit him fast. Hit him hard. Hit him a lot. – Alain Burrese Self-Defense Simplified I understand the importance of having a good defense, but I also agree that you won’t stop the other person without a good offense. A quote attributed to General George S. Patton states, “Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is…
Vital Targets Are Important Many times in my classes or seminars, I will throw out a quick punch beside a student’s head, missing by the tiniest bit. I then ask, “How much did that hurt?” The reply is always, “It didn’t.” I then come back with, “Why not?” Almost universally the reply is, “Because you…
The two best things about Realistic Bug Out Bag by Max Cooper are: It is full of practical suggestions, recommendations and resources. It makes you think! When the unthinkable happens and you must leave your home (bug out) for 72 hours, you’ll want certain things with you. That is exactly what this book is about.…
