The price of going armed without having thought can be high.

Our subject avoided jail, lost her carry permit, narrowly escaped injuring untold others, and came away portraying herself as a misunderstood victim.

If we refuse to take the time to decide who we are with a gun in our possession, we run the risk of echoing her mindless puzzlement: I'm armed and I want to do good, so I'm effectively freelance law enforcement; where's the hero treatment?

...

Actively engaging in our own self-protection presents benefits and risks, the most basic of which is allowing the presence of a gun to turn all our problems into a gun problems. Be not this...

Think hard.
Train hard.
Do The Work.

Be dangerous.

Of course William April is a brilliant lecturer with some of the most important course work in the self-defense world. That sometimes overshadows the fact that he is an incredible shooter as well as a terrific shooting instructor. He reminded a group of students recently in Arizona at an edition of his Unthinkable class (co-taught with Paul Sharp). You can bet they will not be forgetting any time soon!

From a recent Unthinkable course taught by William April and Paul Sharp in Phoenix, AZ, Paul of Sharp Defense demo-ing shooting from the "three" position. Using a 357sig M&P from that range, he showed how using a locked in index will keep all the rounds in the A zone rapidly. Get to one of his REV courses as fast as you can!

A little walk through on how we use soft loops on our sheaths as well as some info on the snap/click and friction fit.

Cecil Burch of Immediate Action Combatives gives some tips on ways to mitigate injury when training H2H methodology. The tips also work similarly when talking about strength & conditioning work.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is probably the least traumatic of the street functional fighting arts that we can train in. However, less traumatic does not mean injury never happens. BJJ is a contact …
