    This is why I still come back to PF occasionally, despite not really spending much time on gun forums (or guns) anymore. This would be sacrilege on most gun forums and here it spurred an interesting...

    Mike Shertz who is/was an Insights Instructor also has his own company. I did a three day TCCC class with him which was Insights/Crisis. Not cheap, but well worth the money IMO. He has a site that...

    Thanks for all the responses. Really great feedback. Between this and feedback on TPI, i've definitely changed my intended response. I guess I fell prey to overindexing on direct, in person advice...

    He seemed pretty switched on and was an AI with a well-respected training company. I may have overemphasized how much he cared, it's been a few years since the interaction. All that said,...

    Thanks for the answer.

    I should have included 'Don't care' but I can't seem to edit the poll unfortunately.

    Posted this on TPI, but perhaps will get more of a response here as this board tends to be a bit more active.

    Have seen a bunch of posts on FB/etc lately (often from questionable sources IMO)...

    Yes, it's pretty weird. For example, I've encountered several parts of games in which I'm standing on a ledge (one on top of a mountain) and just as a test I've tried to step off. It takes me quite...

    Not sure how many people are into computer games, but I just received my HTC Vive preorder this week and having played with it a bit now, it struck me as a potentially powerful training tool. If...

    I think physical fitness and the mental discipline of it all a pretty core piece of self-defense. Many gun classes talk about 'mindset' and I guess at some level they train it, but most barring...
