I just had the pleasure (and pain) of spending some time training with Pendekar Richard Crabbe DeBodes and was very impressed with his Harimau. It was quite different from the previous styles of Silat that I’ve been exposed to and personally trained. For some background, Pencak Silat is basically an all encompassing name for the […]

Today I’m going to do something different. I’m going to write about another gun trainer. Maybe I should just call him a trainer as he does more than gun work. His name is Gabe Suarez. I have never, personally met Mr. Suarez, I talked to him once on the phone years ago. I’ve not taken […]

I don’t actually remember when or even where I first heard it, but one of my many instructors/teachers over the years first told me, “The basics, done correctly, will save you every time.” When you are starting out training in whatever you are training, be it martial arts, gun handling or bartending, you always want […]

Why should you train you ask? When the police and fire department are just a phone call away, right? Well, that’s very true, all you have to do is pick up the phone and dial 911 and in minutes you’ll have an officer or EMT/fire truck out side your door. I recently did an online […]
