Tried a different email provider, actually called, private messaged them and still no response to my SDS request. Absolutely bizarre.

Tried a different email provider, actually called, private messaged them and still no response to my SDS request. Absolutely bizarre.
I don’t know what to make of that, but thanks.
I know, I’ve emailed them multiple times. No response.
Due to difficulties of getting my usual Sabre Red H20 with a reasonable expiration plus having a strong dislike of the new mk-6 models, I was thinking of giving POM a try. The problem is I can’t find...
It was more a matter of too much focus utilizing methods that required a higher degree of physical ability than most people possess and not distinguishing between them and what’s more suitable for...
This is probably a really stupid question since I’ve never seen anyone ask it of you, but I’m hoping you might clarify that statement for me a bit, since I’m apparently struggling to understand the...
Could a fair degree of that be due to who you’re seeing do it in your classes. Nobody just accidentally wanders into a Craig Douglas ECQC class. I wouldn’t imagine most in the demographics that I’m...
Anything bigger and heavier and she simply won’t carry it. An exposed hammer/single action is not really an overall great idea either IMO. Even for home defense, the airweight snub makes pretty good...
One type of person I have in mind is someone like my 79 year old mother. She’s lives alone now, is independent, still engages in a fairly socially active life, although she does currently walk with a...
What about those who may no longer be so able-bodied to effectively utilize H2H skills? Would you say the hardware then matters to a greater degree in their case, with perhaps the snub possibly being...
Headgear with full face shield, along with a significant of caution, would be my recommendation if you absolutely must engage in contact training. Reconsidering the why behind you feel the need to do...
I agree with most what the OP says, but a lot depends on the specific individual in terms of getting the proper balance between self-directed and formal instruction correct.
Quite a bit of my...
These might help, plus there’s numerous videos on YouTube. I’ve corresponded with Rodney on a few occasions in the past and he’s always been very cordial. Maybe drop him an email or message him on...
I haven’t been involved in any kind of altercation in a very long time and none that I honestly couldn’t have avoided. Solid fundamentals are what carried the day, rather than any type of “dirty”...
There’s always been an apparent disconnect between different areas of focus. Someone takes a particular martial art, then one night the instructor has the class work on “self-defense”,and the...
Iain primarily uses the word “passive”, contrasting it with the hands being “active”. I used static in reference to some other videos I watched, maybe not the best choice of words. Two MMA Fighters...
I came across an old Q&A with Dominick Cruz discussing footwork. A pretty good read overall focused on MMA, so relevance to self-defense is debatable.
He discusses Lyoto Machida, who has been...
No problem, I thought maybe I had violated the rules somehow.
The original post was…
“Here’s a clip from Geoff Thompson about the fence. I see a lot of common ground with some of the points...
Cecil Burch just wondering why this was edited. Thanks.
I’m not sure The Fence could still be considered revolutionary today. I’ve come across quite a few articles and videos and everyone seems to have their own take on it.
Here’s one by the late Paul...
but Thompson presents it more as a fluid, alive, active, adaptive concept for lack of a better description, rather than some default guard. That’s my take at least.

Another point he hits on in the video is covering being effective, but most of the other common defensive measures utilized in combat sport not really being all that practical in self-protection due...
I think Geoff Thompson and Peter Consterdine as well have actually influenced Iain quite a bit, based on what I’ve read.I don’t know the extent of their relationship, but they have trained and I...
This is a video from Iain Abernethy and I was hoping to get some opinions on it.

Last I knew, the late Chuck Taylor was very fond of the 95 gr. DPX round for his Glock 17. He said he actually preferred it over the 115 gr. variety after testing both thoroughly and told me he...
