The topics will be about self-defense, karate, mixed martial arts and any other legitimate martial art. Street fighting, bullying, and scripted fighting will not be reviewed as I do not glorify what I consider to be fighting for fighting’s sake. I believe that many street fighters, bullies, and professional wrestlers are probably good fighters but I think fighting should be tailored to self-defense, competition or working out (cardiovascular benefits).  Women and children’s concerns will be featured as I think everyone should have a basic idea what to do if a bad person tries to harm them.

I would like to say that I do not consider myself an expert in all forms of the martial arts or genres of self-defense. I do think that my 40 years of fighting experience (yes I am dating myself) put me in a good position to make an initial evaluation of a fighting/self-defense method. I will welcome corrections and discourse as this is the best way to evaluate ideas.

Please keep comments on topic and when responding – if you are angry or vehemently disagree with one of my positions… Please – attack the position and try to keep personal criticism to a minimum. It is not my intention to disrespect anyone’s martial art or style. I am bound by the terms of service of this web host to not allow profanity, lewd, or illegal activities to be a topic of discussion. I would further like to entertain everyone’s opinion so please keep it civil even if my opinion is irritating. My next post will start the topics and discussions. Check back soon!
