The Instinctive Edge™

This author trains every day rain or shine, indoors and outdoors perpetually in motion…

This is a good drill. Drawing from concealment plus minor movement on a flat range.  There’s nothing wrong with that.

Does it really mimick real life? Absolutely not!

So one thing about all drills is they are just a drill in the end and are not quite representative of real life. Imagine someone wants to stab you. Are they going to show you the blade? Maybe or maybe not. Maybe your not ready to draw and they charge at you. This adds a lot to your reaction time and lets face it, your getting stabbed.

Are you adrenalized at the moment? Did you experience an adrenaline dump? This effects your ability to draw from your holster.

Its important to understand that a drill is not real life. If you do this your training can move forward!

See You On The Range!!!

I am a really peaceful person. Love, peace and harmony are at the front of what I feel is important in life.  However,  unfortunately I have seen a lot of lifes other side.  The side, you really do to want to see. So, I also believe in being prepared for any situation. If you are a true martial practioner then you need to be prepared for any situation to protect your loved ones and their peace, love and harmony.

You need to have skills in:

Weapons
Kicking
Trapping Hands And Joint Manipulation
Takedowns
Grappling

Your training has to consist of Personal Protection skills, Threat Indicator instruction, Scenario Based Training, Understanding of vioence, predators, etc.  De-escalation skills and more…

Love, peace and harmony can only be sustained by effort.  My job is being a protector and my focus is geared around that.  If I do my job right, then love, peace and harmony hopefully will be the end result for me and my loved ones!

See You At The Beach!!!

Okay, the following video has just a beautifully executed sweep. After you watch the feet, really pay attention to how Craig controls Josh Barnett.  Specifically his upper body.

See You On The Mats!!!

See You At The Range!!!

Good morning with some solid training at the park!

See You At The Park!!!

Well, here is the thing about empty hand vs the knife. There simply is no good knife defense. If you go up empty hand vs. The knife you messed up somewhere along the line. I personally do not want to go empty hand vs. the knife. Only go empty hand if it is a last resort or you are surprised.

There are simply, no good or optimal empty hand vs. the knife defenses.

See You On The Streets!!!
