greyhound security guard uses jiu jitsu on suspect

...ok...
you have a notebook.
Like a techniques notebook...a concepts guide?
Some Brewer brainstorming up in there...
maybe some background info on cultural backgrounds of stuff?
and...you've been holding out.
...Mike...you know you could probably organize it...tidy it up a bit, and get it published. You could even put stuff in about training under other people...you're time with Vunak...or just going back and remaniscing over time spent with other great instructors- little words of wisdom you picked up from them and such.
Seriously...I'm not trying to inflate your ego, you have credentials...you could probably submit the stuff to paladin press or tuttle publishing...and if not, do it diy. Think about it...another source of income, plus spreading the good word.

I would buy a copy.

Re: the Mike Brewer notebook, there was a thread I started a year or so ago on exactly that. Here's a link:

I could probably shuffle things around into their appropriate chapters and edit some stuff.

Sounds like a plan. As soon as you have the topics selected, the editing is essentially the only part that's going to be difficult. Putting pictures with it could be cool...but for everything? That could be really time consuming. I'd be willing to do some work on it...
I don't know if it's something you'd want everybody to contribute to (a'la snakes on a plane) but opinions would probably be considered extremely helpful in the editorial process.

How should we do this...what's the most practical...you could scan them and e-mail them to me, or photo-copy them and send them to me in the mail...I think the e-mail thing could be a great deal easier, since I could send revisions and such back to you for the final executive decisions.

I understand the guard has a job to do, and he doesn't want to take any chances. That is where society is at unfortunately. It was excessive, but I don't blame him. If the guard tried a lighter move, the man could have easily pulled a knife and escalated the situation. But, it doesn't mean what he did was right. Although, no one got hurt, and the situation was taken control of.
