Baby Scrapbooking Idea
A Baby Scrapbooking Idea for Everyone
Your baby' s scrapbook is something you are going to enjoy a long, long time from now; so, take your time and make it just like you really felt at the time of the event.
What Occasion .....
If you aint pissing anyone off, youre not doing anything worth while. Like religion and politics, martial arts are not for a lack of its zealots. Decide right now, you can either A. Continue to sip the kool-aide or B. Look to improve. One criticism about our training material is that it is simple and would work against some one who is untrained. What the hell does this mean, exactly? Does this pertain to the woman who takes muay thai or the serial rapist sociopath that has successfully applied his trade a dozen times? Does it apply to the mixed martial artists or a bag man on a pick up? Who do you want to fight for your life against, the martial artist or emotionally disturbed person (EPD) who gargles with pepper spray?A Baby Scrapbooking Idea for Everyone
Your baby' s scrapbook is something you are going to enjoy a long, long time from now; so, take your time and make it just like you really felt at the time of the event.
What Occasion .....
Personally, if I had my choice, Id take my chances with the guy who thinks he has all the answers and not the guy who has nothing to loose. Is our stuff simple, you bet your ass its simple. It has to be. Anything that works is simple and straight forward. (Remember that thing; whats it calledthe WHEEL). Heres a pop quiz, whats the most widely used technique with the highest degree of success and knock out rate? (Drum roll please..) The Over Hand Right! But thats so simple, everybody knows that. You learn that your first day of boxing. Since its so simple and everybody knows it; why does it work? Because some one decided to seize the opportunity to throw it and it hit its mark. Thats the essence of a fight, timing, opportunity and luck. The techniques cant be complicated. As we mentioned countless times before, anything can be blocked if you know its coming. But you will be approached in a way or by a person who is banking on the fact that you wont do anything. So anything you do has a chance.
So youre trained, great.
God bless you and congratulations. Now I heard Jon Bluming say something that I thought was right on the money. If you dont know who Jon Bluming is, get your google working. He said that grappling and submissions are treated as support systems and he continued to say that you will spend more time training your support systems rather that your primary self defense. That doesnt mean dont train in these systems, because you will fall back on these if you, well- miss. Which happens more than you think; but you want a front line of defense.
This is where we come in:
Is it simple: YES.
Basic: YES.
Let me ask you:
The Sublime Pleasure Of Fly Fishing
Fly fishing has a history stretching back to the ancient Greeks, whose historians record people fishing for "spotted fishes" with fixed-line wooden poles. They used for bait wound with cloth and animal hair primitive fishing flies. .....
Would you rather practice knocking some one out or dragging them to the ground? Would you rather practice for a 5 10 second blast or a five minute round?Fly fishing has a history stretching back to the ancient Greeks, whose historians record people fishing for "spotted fishes" with fixed-line wooden poles. They used for bait wound with cloth and animal hair primitive fishing flies. .....
Do you know when your next competition is? It could be in the parking lot tonight after work. Are you warmed up? Do you have your training equipment on? Is the ref there?
Now make no mistake, I am not advocating NOT practice other endeavors, I think theyre great. Competition and training are excellent character builders and will prove there own worth in the grand scheme of things.
But if youre serious about realistic, explosive self defense, heres the check list:
1.Arm your self to the teeth. Guns, knives, Sherman tank.
2. Pepper spray, Stun guns
3. Black jacks, sap gloves, spring kosh, asp
4. The environment: bricks, rocks, garbage cans
5. Hands, feet, teeth simple straight forward basic technique. Strikes, gouges.
6. Grappling, submissions.
Bonus: the better shape youre in, the better all of this stuff works (yes, even shooting). The sharper you are, the better you will operate under stress.

Its always good to have a back up plan, but first things first.
Musashi said, its regrettable to die with your sword still in its sheath. Personally, I get looks from other martial artists when the catch a glimpse of what I carry. They look at me like why do you need that stuff. My reply is, Id rather have and not need it than need it and not have it. It also gives me a glimpse of how nave they are. Are you really going to depend on that when some street skel looks to put a hurt on you? If I can, Ill work my way down from number 1 to number 6. Hey, dont get me wrong, some days you start at 5.
The 3 to 5 year martial artist.
This is the person I get the greatest reaction from. They are very in to their training, which is great. But they believe they are in to end all, be all system. After they read the page at www.thetruthaboutselfdefense.com they feel compelled to write me and tell me how wrong I am (with out viewing the videos). First off, if you feel the need to write some guy on the internet to really show me something- get a life. The irony is, if they stay with there training, eventually they come back. Why? The men and women who have been in the martial arts for more than a decade realize the value of the material and just want to add it to there bag of tricks. These people have been to the show and realize that in a real fight, its what ever it takes. That doesnt mean the a fifth degree black belt in tae kwon do is going to hand his dobok up and put on some combat boots (well, not permanently). What it does meant that this person can look into there own training and pull out whats effective. Two, realize that they dont have all the answers and they want to just get better. And three, they realize that there is a lot more to martial arts than just fighting. Heres a secret learning how to fight is the easy part.
