    Building Muscle on a Raw Vegan DietI read this article From this young women Mrs.Swayzes so I thought I would share iwith you Guys, I hope you like It.What is the one thing vegetarians, vegans, and raw vegans are all known for, besidethe obvious absence of meat eating? A lack of muscle tone, which leads many tobelieve that anyone toying with the idea of giving up animal flesh is destined to a life comments like, "You're too skinny. Here, have some meat." Don't believe thenaysayers. You can totally build lean and healthy muscle on a raw vegan diet. Wanknow how?

    Eat More Fruit?!No, but good guess! Eating more fruit ismy answer to just about everything else. ;) correct answer is STRENGTH TRAINING.

    Overload and RecoverIf you want to build muscles, you just have to do two things: overload and recover. Tis called training and if you don't do both of these, you will not build any muscle at allYou can eat all the fruit smoothies you can stand, but it won't make a lick of differencyou are not:

    1. Overloading the muscle using some form of resistance (e.g. hand weights,machines, resistance bands, or even your own body) and

    2. Allowing for adequate recovery time.

    Super simple! Eat More Fruit Okay, I know I said fruit isn't the answer to buildingmuscle, but it is part of the equation. You see, when you start strength training, you wstart burning more calories; the mere act of working your body burns calories by itse

    In addition, muscle has a higher metabolic rate than fat so once you've gained somemuscle, you will be burning more fat just sitting around doing nothing. Sweet! :D Andsince you'll be using up more fuel, you will need to eat more food. Sure, you can trylimit your caloric intake in order to lose weight quickly, but I definitely do not recommit. Not only will calorie restriction leave you very hungry and craving less optimal food

    all your muscle gaining efforts will be thwarted as well. Eating enough food is part of the recover process and is necessaryou want to build healthy lean muscle. So there you have it! Exactly what you need to build some mighty muscle on aradically raw diet. No disgusting hemp shakes or gagrific protein bars required. :)Go raw and be fit, Swayze

    Armed and Irrelevant: You Can't Shoot EverybodyToday I want to talk with you about something that has been driving me nuts for a lontime. Though due to some of the subject matter i have to be very careful how i write iPublic safety is not something to be taken lightly. The problems that exist for securitythese fields today are frankly quite scary due to what should be obvious to all of themTo administrative people the trend i see lately is to arm their security with guns only. restraint and control training or any form of a backup weapon. Now this isn't based oresearching the internet or any of that type of stuff. With my jobs that i do i have to gointo these places and i see this stuff firsthand with my own eyes. I don't tend to see thas much in prisons or sanitariums that i have to visit as much as i see it in... i hope yositting down......areas with a high civilian interaction.I was in a local DHR recently doing some work and noticed their security had startedcarrying guns now, but nothing else. Now these security were contract security ofcourse. Most of them were past the age of 50 and none of them were in shape. Somwere grossly obese. Now i don't know if you've ever been in a DHR but most of thepeople there aren't happy to be there. Now of course gun training is great and beingarmed with a gun i think is fine i know i love my glock. The beef here is being armed a gun only. Now i can understand if some irate guy comes in with a gun freaking outbecause he just lost his children then that gun will come in handy and we'd be glad thave those guns. However is that the only violent thing that takes place in a DHR?Ummm...not even close. If two people get in a f ight there i suppose they just shoot thtoo because they don't have the training to do anything else. If so does that make it oThe state gets sued and the taxpayers get screwed again? These companies get offe

    for training all the time. The simple fact is the admins won't approve the money. Theytend to think reactive instead of proactive. What if someone is just yelling and you hato escort them out? You don't have any restraint or control training. You don't have apain compliance weapons. Are you just going to shoot them too? Of course not all yoactually going to do if your gun doesn't work as a deterrent is call the local police andmake a big scene, scare the hell out of onlookers, and look like an unprofessional moyourself who can't do their job properly. Because the public expects you to have thetraining and believe that you have the training that you actually don't have at all. It's n

    just municipal sites either. You think government sites are any different? I hate to brit to you but they are actually even worse. They have all the money in the world andspend it on things they'll probably never use. I will say with their gun training if you trystorm a gate or sneak in your going to be dead very quickly. They will take you out faso don't even think about it. But in dealing with daily crap like arguments,fights, esco

    people out, the same problem rings true.The fact is that if Bin Laden or someone similar storms the door or whatever then yes

    guns are the ultimate and they need those guns and training for them is very important so yes we love us some guns. But point is that is a very very low percentage of the things that are actually going to happen. The so the truth of the matter is thave all the training in the world for something they will probably never need and none of the training they need for the thinthat will definitely happen on at least a weekly basis. Therefore they are armed..but it's irrelevant.If you are an admin and your reading this please start listening to the head of your security when they ask for the funding tneed. Stop being reactive and start being proactive. The public is depending on you to do the right thing. If your security ayou never thought about this then start going to your admins and make them aware of it. This situation sucks and somethimust be done about it. Any questions feel free to contact us at www.stonewalltactical.com. If you can't find the training thecontact me and I'll find it for you or i'll fly out and train you myself, but it's got to be done.

    Paul Vunak

    teaches the Most Effective Tactic of the Philippine Fighting Ar

    For many martial artists, weapons are the reason they train. The appeal of learning ho

    wield a weapon, whether traditional or modern is undeniable. Unfortunately, the lions

    share of attention gets lavished on the Japanese and Chinese arts. Its unfortunate

    because, as any student of self-defense will tell you, the lowly stick holds so much

    potential. Perhaps the best source for instruction on stick fighting is the Philippine art o

    kali, and one of the best teachers of kali is Paul Vunak. A longtime student of Dan

    Inosanto, Vunak has focused on the stick for more than 30 years. Presented here is hinterpretation of the most effective tactic in the sticks arts: Defanging the snake.

    Why should Martial artists in the 21st

    century incorporate stick fighting into the

    training?To answer this properly, I have to go back to Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto inthe 1960s. Bruce was obviously an amazing person, an amazing martial artist and an

    amazing athlete. For many years, he was the only person at that level that Dan had ev

    seen. After meeting Bruce, Dan was introduced to some Filipino masters by Ed Parke

    He noticed that those masters had the same attributes as Bruce: similar speed, simila

    sensitivity, and similar body mechanics. Dan had been in probably 20 martial arts befo

    but hed never seen anyone move like Bruce and these guys were in their 60s. Thos

    masters were able to move that way because of the weapons. When you move with

    weapons in your hand, it expedites the development of your natural attributes. Whethe

    youre talking about speed, power, coordination, timing, spatial relationships or footwoyou can quadruple it by working with weapons.How does the weapon training increase your speed? When you swing a stick, the of it moves about 150 miles per hour. No punch moves that fast. So when youre used

    seeing a stick swing that fast, punches seem like theyre coming at you in slow mo tion

    There are so many different angles and so many different weapons that when you ma

    the transition to empty hand, its really easy.

    What are the practical applications of weapons training?As I said, you can train w

    weapons to improve your empty hand, but you can also train with weapons to prepare

    a weapons fight. Seventy percent of encounters involve weapons. You might be the be

    empty-hand fighter in the world, but if you dont know how to fight with a weapon, you

    could be in trouble. If you and your opponent have broken bottles in your hands and y

    dont know anything about weapons, youll probably make very poor choices. You wonhave distancing, youll be overbearing and you wont understand what that weapon ca

    do. Youll probably die. We call that following the way of the dodo. So knowledge of

    weapons can keep you alive no matter how good your empty hand is.Do you like the stick because its readily available inother forms-like an umbrella or a broom?Actually in the Philippine hierarchy, the most complicated and lethal cocktail is a blade and a short blade. But in terms of what weapons will translate to empty hand, you have the first weapon that Filipino

    used: the staff. A staff can be a broomstick or a pool cue; anything long and skinny can work with the same techniques.Thsecond category is dos manos, which means the weapon is so heavy takes two hands to hold. This would be similar to the

    samurai sword, which takes two hands. How could this translate to the street? In an alley, you could pick up a two-by-four

    next category is the siniwali, which refers to two equal lengths two sticks or two knives. In a real fight that could be a poo

    cue again. If you break a pool cue in half, you have two equal lengths.The next category is double knife. That could be twbroken bottles.Theres also single stick or single knife. A single knife can be anything edged, such as a broken bottle. Asingle stick can represent a tire iron, crowbar, or a flashlight.So any one of the weapons in the Philippine system cancorrespond to something you can pick up on the street. The most important thing is to have a skill set that works regardlesthe weapon and the only one that does that is defanging the snake. Is that the one technique youd recommend for the average martial artist?No matter what weapon you have, it woulddefanging the snake. The name means this: The snake is the opponent, and the fang of the snake is his weapon. When yo

    defang the snake, you take away its weapon. Instead of having a pillow fight trading head shots or trying to block you

    smash your opponents hands. When he drops the weapon, youve defanged the snake. Now you can walk away or kill the

    snake.Do you hit the fingers, the back of the hand, the wrist, the forearm or just anywhere? You wont know. There are cerdrills the Filipinos use to train your brain so that when you see a weapon coming in, you dont see it as a weapon to viscera

    block. You see it as a target to hit. And when you do hit, anywhere on the weapon hand is good all the way up to the elb

    In training, do you just touch the hand as how it comes out? You have any planned responses like, if he does this

    you do that?No just hit the hand. Its important to note that you dont see a lot of this hand smashing nowadays becausemany schools that teach the Philippine martial arts have sport -ized it. Anytime you turn a beautiful art into a sport, you di

    it.Specifically, what do you mean by turning it into a sport?There are now stick tournaments all over the planet. First ofthe competitors wear helmets, so they come in with impunity and nobody worries about their head. They also wear hand g

    so nobody attacks the hands because you cant hurt them. And they have ra ttan sticks. In the Philippines, a rattan stick is

    equal to a rubber stick. Its a play stick so when you have rattan sticks with gloves and helmets, you end up just clashing a

    trading bonks on the head. Then the referee steps in and somehow ascertains a winner.If this were reality, the very first sto the headwhether its with a pipe, a flashlight or a crowbar the person would be down in a pool of blood and the fight

    would be over. So its turned into a sport. The old Filipino masters dont fight that way. The ones Ive trained under all do th

    same technique: when anybody comes at them, they defang the snake. You dont see kids doing this in the sport nowaday

    They would rather headhunt.

    How do you realistically train for real world street usage?Interestingly enough, in a karate tournament, the competitorare what I call under-daring, which means they dont really hit each other in the head, and when they do, the very first poi

    is the one that counts. Theres no follow-up. So whoever touches the other person in the head first, wins. Thats not realist

    because in a real fight, you can take punches to the face. Its more important to learn how to trade blows and get in and hit

    combinations.In a stick tournament, its the opposite. The competitors are over-daring. They get in and trade blows with stick over and over. Stick tournaments should be judged more like karate tournaments. After the first shot to the hand, they

    should break. If the guy leads with his head, thats the target yo u see first, so you hit the head. Then comes the break. Tha

    would be more realistic.In defanging the snake, do you have your weapon hand in the lead position, with your lead foot out? Does it even

    make a difference?It makes a big difference because you dont need any power when you defang the snake. Its just a litt

    flick of the wrist. With a real weapon a steel pipe, a crowbar, or a blade one shot on the hand and the game is over. If y

    dont need any power, you might as well put your weapon in your front hand, where the speed is. Its the same in Bruce Le

    Jeet Kune Do.Is defanging the snake more off a snappy movement or is there a follow-through?Its a snapping movement, a quickjab. Again if youre stick fighting with rattan, you could have no protection on your hands and hit each other full contact, an

    hurts the day after, but you can still fight. If you replace that rattan stick with a piece of oak and inch and a half in diameter

    one shot in the hand and youre screaming. Every bone in your hand is broken.

    If defanging the snake is your primary tactic, should you always try to use it? No. Lets say you are in a close-quartesituation, maybe in a bar. Youre two feet from the guy and he grabs a bottle, breaks it and comes at you. You h ave a bott

    and you break it, and as he comes forward, the first thing you see is his face. You dont even see his hand - its low and yo

    close- so you shove the bottle in his face. The moral of the story is, you hit the closest target. Normally, with trained people

    the closes target is the hand, but untrained people sometimes lead with their head. So you hit them in the head f irst.How should an unarmed person fight a guy who has a stick? The strategy is to get close. If hes swinging the stick at yand you cover your head and charge him, hell hit you a couple of times on the way in, but youll be able to take it. Probabl

    seven out of 10 times, if you charge properly and time it, once youre in close, you can use trapping techniques, straight

    blasts, head butts, knees and elbows. The only way to defeat a stick is to get inside it. On the other hand, with a knife, that

    whole strategy is irrelevant. Theres no way to fight a knife.So unarmed against a knife is a ludicrous question? Unarmed against a knife is ludicrous. Its the same as asking howfight a man with a gun. You dont fight a man with a gun physically; you fight him verbally. You use psychology - how youwith him, how you answer his questions, how you do what he says.

    Facing a knife is similar to facing a gun, then? Yes. Say youre an unarmed person in a restaurant. Somebody pulls aknife. The first thing you do is run.Lets take it to level two. Youre in that same restaurant with your mother, so you cant rdidnt say your mother-in-lawwith her you leave. (laughs) Now you have to protect your mom, so you cant run. You have

    grab an equalizer; your own knife, a bottle, a chair, a table, hot soup. Now the third layer: You cant run, and theres nothingrab as the guy attacks you with a knife. I cant imagine this scenario well, I guess I could - maybe youre in a handball cou

    Theres nowhere to run because theres only one door and the guy guarding it with a butcher knife. So how do you fight

    him?Many would say to protect your vital areas and go for his eyes, his groin or his kneecap. Weve tried this for 27 years.

    Weve tried it with ink pens. Weve tried it with training knives from Soft-STX. Theres no way to do it, not when a man is

    attacking you wild and crazy. Its all in how the attacker attacks you. If he attacks you with a thrust, like some karate fake

    pseudo thing, you can do anything. But if he attacks you like a wild, crazy prison escapee, you cant go for his eyes or groi

    because youre going to get cut and bleed out.

    The only thing you can do is dive six inches off the ground and tackle him. Then you smother the knife and start biting. He

    have multiple opportunities to give you tiny pokes and cuts, but theyre not death shots. When you div e at his ankles and s

    biting, there will probably be only one chance of receiving a death shot, and its on your way in. I would give myself as a

    martial artist whos trained for 30 years, a 10 percent chance. If anybody tells you differently, theyre lying. Ten percent is

    better than 0 percent.Biting as a defense is there any particular way to it? Theres a whole Philippine are called kino mutai. It teaches 144uninterrupted bites. By uninterrupted, I mean that youre grabbing the opponent while youre biting. If you just bite, hell pul

    away. While youre biting you tear. There are 18 different ways to tear. Its a very complicated art. I augment my kino mutawith Brazilian Jujitsu. People ask me Are you worried about getting blood in your mouth?Of course Im worried about ge

    blood in my mouth, so the only situation that I would ever use kino mutai is in the life or death one that we are referring to.

    What are some other realistic ways to train with a stick? All real world training has to be base on defanging the snake.has to be based on the honor system because the person who gets hit first has to drop the weapon. You and your partner

    have to have that agreement. Once you do, you can defang the snake with a stick or a knife using the same drill. Or you c

    grab a baseball bat and do it. Just use a rubber bat and protect your hands.Defanging isnt like learning a technique. Martartists can learn a technique and say theyve got it. Learning how to defang the snake is like flying a plan e. A pilot talks ab

    how much flight time he has. If I have a student whos been with me for a year, he might have 10 or 15 hours of flight time w

    defanging the snake. Then I might have a student whos been with me for 25 years - like Tom Cruse, whos probably logge

    thousands of hours doing that one move. When he spars with any of my other students, he always goes 10 to 1, not becau

    he has a better move but because he has more flight time with that one move.The drills you talked about required a partner. How can a person train solo? Carrenza, which means shadowboxingYou get your stick out and work your follow-up. A good drill is to use your stick to make giant letters in the air and go throu

    the alphabet: A, B, C Doing the whole alphabet hit s every angle.Should a martial artist practice a specific follow-up after defanging the snake?When you do your follow-ups, there astroking drills that you do with the weapon. Stroking drills use various weapons and angles to promote body mechanics.

    Somebody who wants to learn boxing starts throwing punches but doesnt put his body into his punches; he just punches w

    his arms. As the person improves, he learns how to put torque into his punches. When he turns pro, he becomes very leth

    with those same punches. The difference between a pro and a beginner isnt the punches; its how much torque he puts in

    them. The stick is the same. All the drills we have are stroking drills that enhance body mechanics so that when you hit

    something, you can really hurt it.There are names for the follow-ups. One means fan, one means thrust and one is namafter a fish in the Philippines that swims goofy. The moves all have the same theme of getting the whole body involved.

    Theyre like a hook, an uppercut or an overhand; theyre all good for knocking out the guy after you jab him a few times.

    Which one do you want? Man, I dont know. They all work. Its the same thing with the stick. - Paul Vunak

    Hock, what originally influenced your decision to learn unarmed combat?I have always had an obsessive interest in tactics hand, stick, knife, gun tactics which of course means fighting with each against each in a mixed-weapon matrix.The unarmed combat is part of that bigger picture.How long have you been in the martial arts and what styles and systems have youpreviously trained in?Very soon it will be 40 years. [ve done] police courses, military courses, karate, jujitsaiki-jitsu, Kajubenboand various Filipino martial arts.You have served in both the military and police. Can you tell me a bit about yourbackground and experiences in both roles and how it has influenced your skills andknowledge as an instructor? I first started out in ParkerKenpo but went into theArmy where I was a military police patrolman and then an investigator; next as a Texpatrolman and detective. This was the instruction that was the most important framewfor me. These academies and courses try to answer the problem: This is how they agoing to kill you. These courses did not always get their advice right, but it set the stafor my general discontent for many martial arts to follow. But what else was there todo? I studied many things and picked up a few Blackbelts as I looked for that next, bthing. Meanwhile I was always looking for that direct intensity and instead was distraby system dogma and grandmasterworship. Okay for some; just not for me. EventuI started my own study group to stay on this target.When did you offi cially commence the Scientifi c Fighting Congress?

    I have been teaching subjects since about 1991. I picked the SFC name in 1996. Iretired from police work in 1997 so I could fi nally concentrate on the subjects full timWhy did you decide to call it the Scientifi c Fighting Congress?I choose the word Congress because I liked the idea of various, differing groups andpeople banding together. On any given weekend, I can be found teaching in a karateschool, a Muay Thai school, a Krav Maga school, a community centre, amilitary base or academy a congress. And I prefer a scientific approach to thepsychology and performance of fi ghting training. The SFC mission is to bridgethe gap between the police, the military, the martial artist and the aware citizenry. Eagroup knows things about fi ghting that the others dont.In what countries do you currently have instructors and where there is a prominentinfluence of the SFC?We have hundreds of basic, advanced and expert instructors in about 10 countries, a

    active as I have seen them in trainingsessions in the last year and a half. Right now, Id say most are located in the USA, U

    and Europe. They are listed on my web page at www.HocksCQC.comWhat individuals have had the most infl uence on you as a martial artist?I would have to say that in general my police and military instructors have had the most consistent influence on me, becauof the evaluation filter they instilled in me. You know, I am not so sure I am a martial artist by true defi nition, or an artist inanything for that matter. I am just a guy who collects tricks to fight criminals and soldiers.It is well recorded that you have conducted specialized training for police and military units throughout the world. Whichunits/agencies have you conducted training for?I have been a paid consultant for the four main branches of the US military: Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, workingwith the Marines mostly. I have taught at many police academies through the world, like in England and Germany and as faway as the one main academy in South Africa. How many officers and agencies? Most officers, as with soldiers, attendmy group seminars and I could not even begin to count how many I have seen through the years. I would guess thousand

    Over the past 10 years there has been an explosion in the various types of reality-based systems and defensive tacticssystems that have fl ooded the market. What are your views pertaining to these systems, and why?I have always disliked the term reality-based self-defence.Its like saying, Id like a pizza

    with my pizza. But I think its a natural evolution in overall interest and training. What irritates me is the costumechange! That is a martial artist who simply changes his traditional clothing to camos and suddenly he is a practical/tactical course teacher? Also irritating: many have pretended to be US Navy SEALS or claim to be exclusive SEALTeam 6 instructors for years or ex-Israeli commandos. Lies! Buyer beware when you hear this talk! Rest assured that99 per cent of the time this is simply not true. Then there are the folks pretending to be former SWAT or super-dupercounter-terrorism agents.There was a guy with a school in Germany who actually pretended and advertised thathe was on the Los Angeles, California SWAT team. What a commute to work that was!You have been teaching realistic defensive tactics for over 20 years and you are regarded around the world as one of the

    pioneers of reality based training. Yet, there have been several instructors who have entered the market in the US over thepast several years saying they were the first reality-based instructor. What are your thoughts about these types of claims has it affected your own system?In a few words: marketing hogwash, sales pitch for fools and the nave. I dont know that it has affected me directlyin any way. Really, I am like the tortoise in the old Tortoise and the Hare fable. These new guys blast on the scene withcrafted I am the greatest marketing campaigns. As I plod along for decades, I pass their burned-out carcasses on theroadside. And I am not the greatest. Nor the first. I want to help you to be the greatest that you can be. It is all about you, nme. You come fi rst!Whats your opinion on the debate between sportbased or combat-oriented training systems?Well, I love the current evolution of the UFC: groundand- pound. And its a great laboratory to see techniques in hardcoreaction. And combat oriented sports have many benefits, but a true crime and war survivalist must become an expert in all things that are illegal in these sport fights. Cheat to win. And by the way, winning is different foreveryone. This is animportant point. It exists in a use-of force continuum, a rules ofengagement environment. Its situational: who, what, whe

    when, how and why?What is your opinion on the grappling craze that has seized the martial arts community in recent years and what type ofgrappling is taught in the SFC?Successful grappling. But seriously, tactics that work based on your mission. Are you a citizen, a cop or a soldier?In the recent evolution of martial arts and crazes, standup fighters needed to know ground-fighting. Ground-fightersneeded to know stand-up. In the 1980s I was heavily into the Dan Inosanto systems (hes one of the guys whoreally invented the term Mixed Martial Arts by the way) and we did shoot fighting, all years before the Gracie/UFC craze.But as a cop I knew I could not rely on this tap-out, sport approach on my job. All fights are highly situational and verymission-oriented. I believe in the seamless application of all tactics standing, kneeling, sitting and on the ground with handstick, knife and gun. Equal and seamless. You fight where you fight with what you have.Thats why I say successful grappling because it looks like everything else, nothing in particular.In your experience, what qualities do you need to see in a person before you know they are ready to be qualifi ed as aninstructor in the SFC?Thats a many-layered question. I mean, technically you could have a smart guy in a wheelchair be an excellent instructor

    Just because someone is a champion doesnt mean he is a good instructor there are many cases of that. But I lookto see them master the material at each level. Then I look for people with enlightenment. Heres the deal. I will never tellanyone how to fi ght. Those are personal choices for people based on their size, shape, age and condition. It is their job,through experimentation, to pick and choose these things. But, a good instructor must know many things to present them ttheir students. These students build themselves and/or become instructors. An instructor must understand this principle. Tmust be freed from dogma. Doctrine, not dogma. We have lives to save. You teach what you learn and I dont care aboutpatents or restrictions. The SFC has no tithings or dues or any franchise fees. (These are the things that usually destroy athe burned hares I pass on the road.)What are your current and future plans for the SFC?Oh, I will continue to teach as long as people ask me to. Ive never had any desire to dominate the world and create busindynasties, that sort of thing. I am obsessed with tactics and training methodologies.How many years has it been since your last visit to Australia?I started coming to Oz in the 1990s. I think its been about six orseven years since my last visit.

    Why has there been such a long period of time from your last visit to your 2009 seminar?I do about 40 seminars a year in eight countries, and lots of requests and interest in the UK and Europe. They had me goiEast instead of West. I did teach on the Guam Air Force Base and the Honolulu, Hawaii SWAT team in 2007. Thats as cloas Ive come to Australia lately. Back in the 1990s we had some certified instructors in Australia that turned out to be somethose burned out hares on the roadside, dreaming up their schemes, wheels and deals none of which I knew of or toopart in. I believe in the precept waterseeks its own level, and some folks just drown themselves.During your recent visit to Australia, how did you find the level of skills and knowledge of the participants, compared to theother parts of the world where you have conducted training?Oh, just great! Fine. Australia has a lot of tough, smart guys and gals. And it was great to return and see some of my oldfriends. Some of them are just truly the finest, greatest people youll meet anywhere. I am thankful I know them, martialtraining or not. Hock Hochheim is theauthor ofKnife Fighting Encyclopaedia, Military Knife Combat andUnarmed Versusthe Knife.

    Fake Self-Defense Instructors Pt 5

    I spoke to several people yesterday about Mike Kanarek. The simple answer to

    everyone's question was answered by former Haganah Instructor Chris Ghannam wh

    I spoke to him at the beginning of all of this. "The outcome is already out there." I agr

    with this statement.Mike didn't have to lie. I spoke to one of his oldest students yeste

    that was with him from back in the Tae Kwon Do days. He liked Mike already and tra

    with him without all of the hype. He said that it was different after 9-11-2001. The schseemed to change. Randy Proto came in and started running things differently. Black

    Belts who were already learning, teaching and who had trained under Mike were not

    recognized Black Belts under the new Haganah FIGHT. Mike said it was because of

    Randy. He was running things. Whatever. All of Mike's studnets and instructors know

    about the hassles with Mike Kanarek and Haganah. Most people that I talk to are jus

    worried about how they will be perceived after all of this. They think the system of

    Haganah is a good one but nobody seems to agree with Haganah, Kanarek or Proto

    tactics in growing the business. If Mike had just stuck to being a good fighter and not

    all of the tall tales and big lies to hype himself and the system he probably would've d

    just fine. He didn't though. One lie lead to forty more.. People attend Mike's training,

    They seem to be holding on. That is OK and I understand. I was there too. It is hard

    when you bet on the wrong horse and then you feel like you are now riding a horse th

    is shot. Randy Proto has released a press release stating that they are bringing in Ga

    Machine into the IPTT Haganah Group. Whatever that is. I hear that Garret is a good

    guy and I have no idea how he got mixed up with Mike and Randy. They burn bridge

    quickly. Just ask the former "tactical contributors" to Haganah who resigned- first Sgt

    Major Nir Maman and thenChris Ghannam. I understand that Garret was a high lev

    operator in Israel and it is good that Kanarek and Proto are trying to bring somebody

    into the organization instead of just making it up on their own- AGAIN. I wish all of the good and ethical instructors of Haga

    well and hope the best for them. I know that they have all talked about these issues and are curious about the outcome. S

    am I. It will be interesting, that is for sure. I have seen a good many people who I know go out of business, in part because

    Mike, Randy or Michael Griffin's actions. I am sorry for that. Nobody deserves to lose money, students and income in time

    like these. Contact me if you need the name of a good attorney that is already dealing with Mike, Randy, Michael and

    Haganah.

    Improvised Weapons: A Primer

    A month after 9/11, when airport security was still being manned by the National Guahad to fly from Boston to Tampa. A young sergeant in fatigues scrutinized my ID andasked me, do you have anything on you that could be used as a weapon? As my miwent through the list - belt, pen, shoes , water bottle, etc. I had to stifle a smirk thatwould have surely gotten me a body-cavity search. To the trained, almost anything cabe used as a weapon.Ultimately the trained mind is the weapon, with external objectsbeing extensions of the mind/body. For the purposes of this article, weapons will refe

    external objects. The purpose of this article is to help you think about weapons in a vefundamental way. When you understand how they work, nearly everything you can puyour hands on will become a weapon.What is a weapon?I find it helpful to think of weapons as tools. Tools are merely things we use to help usa job done. A carpenter may use a hammer to pound in a nail, a doctor might use ascalpel. A weapon is a tool which helps us do a job (win in combat).Weapons, for the most part are force multipliers. They allow us to transform orconcentrate energy beyond what we could do with empty hands. Take a knife, forexample. A knife cuts things by concentrating force into a very small area called theedge. When swung, the end of a stick will travel faster than the hand thats holding it.Since force = mass X acceleration, swinging a stick multiplies the force that we candeliver on target. A gun transforms chemical energy into kinetic energy putting a gre

    deal of force into a tiny bullet.Force concentrationOne of the main concepts to understand that will help you use weapons most effectivis reduction in area or force concentration. Imagine laying on your back and someoneplaces a 50 pound barbell weight on your chest. It may be uncomfortable but its not lto cause much damage. The weight is spread out over the surface area of your body.Now imagine I remove that weight and grab a long needle. What would happen if I plathe point of the needle against your chest and applied 50 pounds of pressure to it? Shkebab. Why? Because I concentrated all of that force into a very tiny area.If you think about measuring pressure in PSI or pound-force per square inchits easto break this down. Lets say that the surface area of your body supporting the 50 pouweight may have been 100 square inches. Lets also say that the area under the needwas 1/100

    thof an inch. The weight was exerting .5 PSI while the needle was exerting

    5000 PSI. This is why a doctor can give you an injection with very little force on theneedle the pressure multiplication is huge.Types of weaponsIf you think about things people use as weapons, we can categorize weapons into a fbasic concept groups. This will also help us think about using things as weapons whicmay not have been designed to be used that way. This article will cover edged, impacflexible, field effect, and projectile weapons categories.Edged weaponsare weapons with an edge or a point which cut or tear. Knives, swordaxes, and spikes are different types of designated edged weapons. Cutting implemenwork by sliding across the cutting surface. If you take a knife and press down on a loabread you squash it you have to draw the knife through to cut. This is the same for

    flesh. I cant tell you how many people I see practicing edged weapons like they are hitting rather than cutting or stabbing.Impact weapons, as the name implies, are things you hit someone with. Nunchucks, staffs, war hammers, clubs all impaweapons. Impact weapons work by increasing the effective speed of the blow because the end will travel faster than your

    hand. With increased speed you get increased momentum allowing blows to penetrate the target further. An importantconcept of an impact weapon is that they allow for strikes which might otherwise hurt if delivered by body parts. Punchsomeone to the frontal bone and youre likely to break your hand. Impact weapons also work by force concentration asmentioned above.Flexible weapons are weapons which bind, entangle, and constrict. Garrotes and chains are an example of a flexibleweapons. Sometimes flexible weapons are combined with edged or impact weapons (such as rope darts or flails). Someflexible weapons can also be used as impact weapons (bullwhips). The main concepts behind flexible weapons depend ohow they are used.

    However, when used for a choke or an entanglement they are definitely force concentrators.Projectile weapons are weapons which are propelled to a target, while the method of propulsion may vary. It may be usefuthink of projectile weapons as distance weapons. Guns, arrows, missiles are all projectile weapons. Projectile weapons aeffective because they allow a person to deliver the energy of the weapon at a distance. Projectiles can be thrown or firedField-effect weapons are weapons which rely on a secondary effect for their use. Some examples include pepper spray,chemical weapons, acoustical and biological weapons. Field effect weapons tend to affect an area, and the ultimate mediuof delivery may not be solid could be energetic or chemical. One drawback to field effect weapons is that they tend to behard to control and can affect unintended people. Pepper spray, for example, will have some effect on the sprayer andbystanders in an enclosed space or if the wind carries it away from the intended target.Improvised weapons

    Just like doctors use knives specially designed to be most useful in surgery, tools designed to be weapons are usuallyspecifically tailored for the job. But, imagine you were a carpenter who didnt have a hammer or nail gun could you still din a nail? Sure, youd just look for some other object (perhaps a brick, or a wrench) and improvise. Once you understand hweapons work, with little thought nearly anything can be a weapon.Most solid items that can be held can be used as impact weapons. Our ancestors hit each-other with rocks, for example.Remember the key to an impact weapon is force concentrationtry to strike with a corner. If youre using a brick youllconcentrate the force better if you hit with the corner of the brick rather than the face. Strike with the tip of a stick, or the edof a rolled-up magazine. Grab a book hold it from an end and strike with a corner.Anything with an edge can be used to cut or stab. Pens are great stabbing and ripping tools, but you can also use a creditcard or even a thumbnail to draw blood. Broken glass, rigid plastic, rings with sharp stones, pins the list goes on.Obvious flexible weapons include ropes chains and cords, but you can also use towels, clothing, rolled up trash bags,handkerchiefs, hoses, or a belt. I generally advise against wrapping the ends of a flexible weapon around your own handsdoing so locks you into the weapon and you can get bound up. Flexible weapons take some training to get skilled, but they

    can be used to strike, deflect, entangle or whip. Wet the end of a handkerchief and you can use it like a whip that couldpotentially injure an attackers eyes. Headphones and their cords can be used to wrap and entangle an opponent. Again, the issue with field-effect weapons is the lack of ability to control them. However, in a pinch, nearly any aerosol cansprayed into the eyes. A mouth full of liquid can be sprayed into an opponents face. Anything that can be thrown can become a projectile weapon. Even a cup of water could be thrown at an attackers face tocause a momentary distraction. You dont have to necessarily injure an attacker with a thrown object, a flinch or a distractimay give you the time needed to escape or attack.An important concept to grasp with improvised weapons is shielding. If you are attacked, particularly by an armed assailanits a good idea to place objects between you and an attacker. Make the attacker attack through an object, climb oversomething, or risk being injured by attacking and you can lessen his effectiveness. A backpack might be held in front of yotables and chairs can be knocked over in front of you, even a jacket held out will provide some protecting against a knife.How to PracticeThe first level of practice is to learn the basic use weapons. If you study a specific weapon art (such as iaido) keep right on

    going, but youll need some cross-training. I suggest cross-training in a weapons-oriented art that practices angles of attalike many styles of arnis, kali, eskrima, or ketsugo jujutsu. Memorizing specific techniques for specific weapons is OK, buthave limited translation if youre not holding that specific weapon. Practice with various edged, impact and flexible weaponThe next level of training is to practice with improvised weapons in your home. Pick items up in your home and practiceattacking with them. For safetys sake I cant recommend practicing with live blades without professional supervision. Becareful with those kitchen knives. Practice in different areas of your home bedroom, bathroom, kitchen etc. Look at everyobject you can pick up as a potential weapon.Extend your training into different environments with mental exercise. When youre out of your home, take a few seconds tscan your environment for improvised weapons. Do this quickly. For example, when I go out to dinner the first thing I do islook for the exits at the restaurant, then I scan my immediate area for potential weapons (and there are always many). I trydo this in about 5 seconds or less and I make it a habit. Now its like a little game. Make it fun, and youll remember to d o iyourselfand youll be safer.

    DISHONOR IN THE RANKS

    When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to write an article about, all I could thinkwas what Ive been preaching about in the last year or so: Accountability in the martarts. I see the world of martial arts moving down a path that tears down and does notbuild into. A sports minded group of people more interested in making a dollar or a nafor themselves, than teaching our students the importance of personal accountability responsibility.Coming up in the martial arts from a martial arts family, I have had the privilege of beiaround some of the greatest martial arts masters in the world. Their legacy passing frgeneration to generation a testament to the commitment and pride in what we do as a

    whole.I am very proud to be called a martial artist because of the philosophy and values itteaches. Honor, integrity, and truth being the grass root cornerstone to each systemwith the disciplines and techniques being a bonus to the whole.But as with anything, there are some things that are not worth being proud of, yet cruto address.Let me ask you this. Do you not agree that the higher in rank we go, the moreaccountable we are to our students? Are we not supposed to be an example to ourstudents to follow?Unfortunately I have come across a whole generation of young martial artists who areof pride, disrespect, and quite honestly, no clue to the virtues of Bushido. Excuse mewhy is this?MEAT MARKET OR GENERATION CATALYST

    There are some really great schools out there, and they deserve to make a living doinwhat they do bestunless it is at the expense of the moral and philosophical fabric ofstudent. As martial artists, it is our responsibility to instill into our future instructors andmasters, the cornerstone philosophy why we do what we do. In fact, we are probably of the few groups of people who have the ability to change entire generations on a globasis. This is an honor, a privilege, yet some instructors feel they are entitled to reap benefit at the expense of the student.Excuse me, but this kind of action is what I call dishonorable and a true God ComplexBACK TO BASICSAs an instructor, I go back to basics a lot because it is the foundation of everything webuild our system on. If you do not have a handle on the basics, you will never progresthe level you are aspiring to. The making of a great martial artist is built upon a strongfoundation of principle, discipline, philosophy of mind, body and spirit, and correcttechnique.

    The higher in rank we go, we need to grasp hold of the basic tenets of the martial arts in order to build into our students thgreatness they need to achieve in their lives as a whole. What we teach them in the beginning will pour into their personal professional lives. The wives and husbands we teach will be leading their children by the example give to them. Our youngstudents will be turning into the adults we have molded. Dont believe me, ask the parents why they put their kids in yourclass.to teach them discipline and how to be a better person.Basics is a great way to re-establish why we do what we do, and as long as we have the ability to be flexible and teachablourselves, we will continue to advance and progress in the things that matter.OUR RESPONSIBILITYIf you take a good hard look at the history of martial arts, it is not all about the physical, but the mental and spiritual aspecta human being.to help make them whole, to live harmoniously with humanity and with oneself.True martial arts is selfless. It builds and does not tear down. And the goal is to leave a legacy to future generations.If you never thought you held the future in your hand, look into the eyes of your students, what do you see? Do they reflecyou or do they reflect the greatness youve helped to bring out of them?

    It is a choice we as teachers have to make every time we hold class. Are you up to the challenge?THE WARRIORA true warrior is integrous, honest, trustworthy, selfless, and they will not compromise these things for monetary purpose oself gain. Our battle is to go against what is cookie cutter in a society clothed in shallowness by teaching the traditions of oart for the benefit of the future of martial arts.Are you a warrior?
