The Instinctive Edge™

Silat Sweeps… I am a huge fan of sweeps. Principallly because there effective and efficient but also because you can do them at any age.

I have learned them from a lot of different instructors but especially love the Herman Suwanda and De Thouar lineage variations.

Santiago Dobles is an excellent practitioner showing some solid moves here:

Buka Jalan Silat

Bukti Negara

Lots of other systems out there.

Bobbe Edmunds teaches a master class here:

See You On The Mats!!!

My good friend Russ Grosvenor passed away recently.  His wife Margy passed away several years earlier.  Russ and Margy opened up their house and martial family to us when we visited and I taught in Australia. Russ was a Krav Maga and Karate practitioner who was always eager to learn.  He was simply one of the best in the Martial Sciences!  Russ trained and lived in Melbourne, Australia whch is simply one of the most beautiful places in the world.  He is survived by a loving and wonderful family.  I will miss my good friend!  

Understanding the Four Universal Firearm Safety Rules is essential!

4 Firearm Safety Rules…

TREAT

NEVER

KEEP

KNOW

Easy to say and remember: Treat Never Keep Know

1. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded!

2. Never point the muzzle at anything your not willing to destroy!

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot!

4. Know your traget and what is beyond!

Simple but hard…  Firearms have been around a long time but humans still continue to make mistakes.  Sometimes with firearms those mistakes become fatal ones.  

In the United States there is an estimated average for 1,300 to 2,300 accidental discharges per year.  This would include fatal and non-fatal discharges.  Out of these discharges there is roughly an estimated 438 to 500 fatalities.

I advise everyone to get training and safety classes!  Secure your firearms with a safe and take the proper precautions when handling firearms.

If you dry fire only use empty magazines, snap caps or dummy rounds and all live ammunition should be removed from the area.

Together, We Can Do Better!!!
