The Instinctive Edge™

Okay, I really dont worry about what other people or groups are doing in their training. I’m pretty focused on what I and my students are doing to get better. Thats where my priorities are.  Sure, I do check out everyone else now and then but my focus is on what I can control. Not what other people are doing.  What can I do to improve myself, my students, etc. I dont have any time to spend on drama or issues regarding other people. I’ve observed from afar other people going down that rabbit hole and it never did anything positive for them.  No, I’m focusing on what I can control to get better.  What I can control to help my students.  That’s where it’s at for me!

Okay, almost everyone who comes here to the blog is interested in the Martial Sciences and real world Personal Protection skills. So allmost all of us are training, researching and attempting to learn as much as we can! Which also means during our research we come across a lot or, we roam through a lot of b#$%s$%^. Now, a lot of us have experience, whether personally or professionally so we have the ability to recognize a lot of the b#$%s$%^ out there. Let me tell you that there is a lot of people teaching ridiculous stuff. Some of it could get you killed or seriously hurt. Also some people simply do not have the skill or moral turpitude to instruct anyone. So when you are researching the Martial Sciences your going to have to wade through a lot of b#$%sh$%! Your roaming research is going to expose you to a lot of crap. Not everything is good…

Personal Protection requires you to be flexible and apply creative adaptation. Meaning quite often you start out behind the curve as the person assaulting you took action first. So you have to be open to protecting in any manner that the situation dictates. Relax… let your training come forth. React, create and protect yourself to the best of your ability. Creative Adaptability simply means that you do what is necessary in the moment and change according to the dynamics of this unique situation. What might have worked in one situation just might get you hurt or killed in another. Relax, flow, be creative in the moment and allow your body, your training to come forth!

Okay I’ve been covering a lot of new training tools in recent blog posts. However, I wanted to make sure you guys know what I use everyday in training. A lot of the training tools used everday by me come from TAK Knives.

You can find their full lineup of training tools here at their home page:

When I’m training I use my TAK knives all the time. I haven’t had one of their products wear out in all the years I have been using them. Quality, reliability and durability. You can’t ask for more than that!

Check them out…
