Congratulations Chernon!

Great topic. Not sure what the answer is. I don't really bring up the chest protection issue with my female students. But, I've sometimes wondered if I should suggest it just as I suggest groin protection for the guys. I do give them access to my supply catalogs, and let them know, I can order any e...

Bill, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know that he meant the world to you. And to lose him such a short time after losing a good friend can make it all the tougher. Unfortunately, once again I find we have one more thing in common. About a year before, I lost my brother, I lost an Aunt that ra...

When being tested in Sanchin as a teenager, towards the end, when you thought your arms were going to fall off, and every muscle was burning, my Instructor, "Charlie" (Charles D. Shultz), would often say "Do you want to quit? Don't quit on me! When you think you're done, and it's real...

Thanks Steve. Great info Panther. Lots of great info being shared. As I'm sure it has been over the years on this forum. My "rambling" may have confused the issue, or my stance on things. Then again such emotional events and issues of course can cause ones thoughts to ramble a bit as well....

It sounds like you and your family have seen your share of tragedy. And it definitely shapes one's behavior and beliefs. We can talk theory, all day long, but sadly, it won't sink in until we've experienced a loss, or had a close call. Getting back to the original subject of this forum, gun safety: ...

I've had a couple of incidents in my dojo recently,which left me grasping for the correct terms, despite the humor of the situation. For example: If a student passes gas in mid air while doing the jump kick in Dan-kumite....is it a flying gas attack? If a student passes gas when hit in the stomach d...

Simply awful, Bert, I am sorry. Thanks Van. In the movie Quigley down under…Quigley didn't have much use for a gun 'until he did' Very true. One detail, we mustn't forget was he said "he didn't have much use for a hand gun." For the "work" he did, he chose the Rifle as his firea...

I don't currently own a handgun, used to have several. I always loved the single six, blackhawk, and vaquero made by Ruger. Great accuracy. I had a single six with a 9 1/2"barrel that I could literally split the edge of a playing card, or shoot the hearts off the corners of the queen of hearts ...

Thanks Glenn

I realize there may be special situations for LEOs or in a combat/military situation. Though you may not be a LEO or active military, your training and serious analysis of how to keep your firearm accessible to you. Yet inaccessible to others, is the exception, even among those trained in firearms ...

I recently spent 15 or 20 minutes of one of my classes teaching some of the most important Firearm defenses, one can learn. The techniques can be easily mastered, and work in some of the most dangerous firearms situations most of us will encounter. Usually I'm very careful about the way I teach weap...

Hey! War dya get ma pictur? Ya coulda at least asked furst!

According to Native American Legend the Coyote, will be the last species on earth. They are respected for their intelligence and adaptability. The greatest threat to livestock is often during the spring/summer months while they are struggling to find enough food for their litter. We don't generally ...
