Soooo, what does everyone want? Manhandling/dynamics/chaos management are all inter-related, basically a reminder that fights aren't static and you will be mauled, lifted, crashed into and thrown. It's all kinetic energy and if you aren't ready for it, it will mess you up... but if you are ready for...

I'll be flying into Manchester late Thursday night. Without renting a car, what's the best way to make it to the Academy?

Some Ideas...
George asked me to drop in with some ideas of stuff to cover. Hands on stuff-- how does everyone feel about elements of ground movement? Or working against a knife at extremely close range? Or re-cap the counter-assaults (Spearhead, Dracula's cape and the counters to rear attacks?) Been doing some f...

Room for One More?
I've been far too busy to post on the site for a long time, and I'm sorry for that.
However, it looks like I'll be able to make Summerfest this year. Am I still welcome, George? I've missed you guys.

Shana- I wrote a reply the other night and the connection went down. I'll try again. People seem to really want labels. They want a way to describe themselves. To make themselves seem more important, maybe. Or to identify with something that they admire. There are some things that you find out about...

This is one of those yes and no things. I think Jim got it when he was talking that it is about a mindset, and I think he let that understanding slip when he started asking about specific techniques. Not calling Jim in particular, it was just a perfect example close together of what it is and isn't ...

IMO the best choice is the way of the American Indian, to leave the earth as we found it. Just a quick call on this since romanticizing the past is one of my buttons- These would be the Native Americans who burned hundreds of square miles of the Willamette Valley every decade to keep trees from gro...

Bill- X26 Taser is a whole different animal than the old 'stun guns'. Thought I described taking the hit here a long time ago. On me- brain stopping pain. I can and have run on a broken fibula, recovered from frostbite in my hands and had a fingernail melted through. Up until the Taser those were th...

I love being a father, so Father's Day always seemed wrong, like celebrating something that was a celebration already. If anything, it might be a good excuse to do or at least schedule some of the father things- camping, climbing, skydiving, fishing that you always talk about doing with your dad but...

It depends, Shana; on why you train, on what you hope to do and the stage in your life. Some things that are very good for your mind/spirit are very, very bad for your body. I used to train through injury all the time, for two reasons. One was that if I got injured in a real fight I couldn't stop so...

However, if I were lost on a mountain side and, after asking directions to one person how to get down, he were to say: ‘just follow the sun and your ‘homing instincts’ and you will get there’ _ Then if asking the same directions to another person and he said ‘follow the sun along particular pathway...

BTW...I would love to see some input from Rory on this. If you are reading this, Rory, could you give us your impressions? :) I've been summoned, which means I had to read the whole damn thread. So, first and foremost, sometimes I think Vann and Bill like to argue and just assume that they are on o...
