Krav Maga: Self Defense Techniques

Posted by On December - 28 - 2009

Here we go again with the Krav Maga!

Although there are a lot of similarities with the other Krav Maga videos, this one is based on actual combat.

This video shows one man vs. two. These men approach the victim in various ways and the Krav Maga instructor shows you how to deal with certain situations. The only thing to consider with this video is that it is done in real time, without explanation.

I will be releasing another video later this week that shows you a more detailed explanation of how to do actual Krav Maga techniques.

This video is here for the basic purpose of showing you what Krav Maga really looks like in action. To me, this is one of the most powerful martial arts you can study.

Good luck with your defense and remember, be safe!

Krav Maga Self Defense: Disarming A Handgun

Posted by On December - 22 - 2009

So besides the stupid commercial in the beginning of this video, this Krav Maga tutorial is awesome. Besides, the commercial is like 5 seconds.

Anyway, if you want to know how to disarm a handgun, this is the video for you.

This video also explains everything step by step and shows you exactly how to do it.

To be honest, disarming a handgun is a little easier than I thought. The instructor talks about how you should give them anything they want as long as its not your life. If all they want is your wallet or money, then give it to them. But if the situation gets to the point where they are not going to leave and you know you have to do something drastic, Krav Maga is the way to go.

I have studied several martial arts and nothing comes close to this. I love the hands on interaction they provide, without the fluff. Krav Maga is definitely something I think people should look into.

Check this video out and leave a comment or suggestion below.

Thanks and be safe!

Home Safety: Locking Up The Valuables

Posted by On December - 15 - 2009

So just a real quick post on locking up your valuables.

Like most people, you probably have a safe or something along those lines to keep your valuables well…safe.

If that’s the case I would like to offer you another alternative.

NEVER keep your valuables in a safe that cost you less than $2,000.

The reason for this is simple. Almost a year ago I had some people working for me that where a little less than honest. These people ended up breaking into my house and stealing any and all valuables you could think of. I mean they stole my video camera, xbox, TV, computers, etc. Along with all that stuff they stole my 300 pound safe.

Now when I bought that safe I thought it was pretty much all I needed. It was about $300 bucks and was so heavy, it took me and two other people to get it up the stairs. Well, when the losers stole my stuff, they also took the 300 pound safe. Even though they stole it, I knew it was going to take them a hell of a lot of work to get it open so I was a little relieved. Well the day after my home theft, a police officer found my credit cards and everything that was in the safe. Guess they got into a little easier than I thought.

So the point I want to make here is simple; keep belongings somewhere besides a safe if you paid less than $2,000 for it.

Put all of your belonging into a safe deposit box. From what I pay, it costs like $60.00 a year and keeps everything I need safe and away from prying hands and eyes.

I lost my passport and pretty much everything you can think of that was of value in regards to paper products. Credit cards, birth certificate, etc., was all stolen.

So if you have anything of the sort in your house take it out. Keep everything you need in a deposit box and you should be fine.

That’s pretty much all I have to say about things like that. So good luck and be safe.

Why Self Defense Is Important

Posted by On December - 8 - 2009

A lot of people have been asking me why I think self defense is important.They argue that there are not that many people out there that get mugged, raped, or kidnapped.

Well to the contrary there are thousands of people EVERY HOUR that either get mugged, raped, or kidnapped.

So my answer to those types of questions are usually the same, why not? Why shouldn’t you carry a pepper spray or stun gun with you? What would it hurt to have a metal baton or other self defense weapon on your person.

How many times has your car broken down and you wished you would have had AAA?

Well the thing that is amazing with life is that you never know when you are gonna need something and that is the exact reason you need some sort of self defense weapon with or around you.

Unlike a car breaking down on the side of the road, if you get mugged you might not make it out in one piece.

This is the type of thing I beg people to understand. Pepper sprays and stun guns are not that expensive, and having one can mean life or death.

Now I pretty much guess you have some type of insurance, right? Well that insurance is for when something happens, right? Well why not have a little extra insurance (pepper spray/stun gun) to prevent some of those things from happening?

That’s really the just of it. You should have a self defense weapon with you at all times.

So when is a good time to buy a self defense weapon you ask? How about RIGHT NOW!

Good luck and be safe!
