Excellent!

I have read just about every book on criminal, behavioral, NLP, EMDR, PTSD, evolutionary and combat psychology I could get my hands on.

For a long time I was very interested in the Civil war and I must of read 15 books on the subject and toured all the historical CW battle-fields. Lately I have been on WWII. I’ve read at least 7 or 8 books on the subject in the last two years one of my favorites is “Flyboys”. Those guys were fierce warriors and I am in awe of there bravery, ferocity, and shear determination as fighters. Not many could do today what they did.

Currently, I am into studying the old gunfighters from the old west to Col. Askins, including Fairbarin, Sykes. Those guys were “gunfighters” and knew what real gunfighting is all about, not like what you see being taught today which pales in comparison.

The law as it pertains to self-defense should be studied by all who train to defend themselves, no doubt of its importance. I like to research actual cases to see how the law is being interpreted and applied.

My HTH takes a back seat too. The way I look at it, it is subordinate to my weapons (firearms) and tactics though, HTH still plays and important roll in an overall fighting program. Personally, my HTH consist of boxing “old-style” where they allowed knees and elbows, and combative strikes like the chin-jab, EOH, fairbairn, Sykes, et al type of strikes, nothing fancy just good old fashion hitting…easy to maintain with very little practice.

I guess I'm very retro these days.
