    What is the 21 foot Rule & why should I care??

    21 Foot RuleThe 21 foot rule states that the average person with a kor sword can get to and cut a person in about the same time that theaverage person can draw and fire a handgun. In the time it takes theaverage officer to recognize a threat, draw his sidearm and fire 2 roundat center mass, an average subject charging at the officer with a knife other cutting or stabbing weapon can cover a distance of 21 feet.

    As a certified L.E. & Security Instructor We have always taught about the 21rule and it has been around for more than 20 years now, even tho it has beearound a lot of officers still are unaware of this important component of trainIn an article by Force Science Institute a deputy sheriff from Texas, suggestthat its time for a fresh lookat the underlying principles of edged-weapondefense, to see if they are upheld by fresh research.He observed that theknife culture is growing, not shrinking,with many people, including thehomeless, carrying significant blades on the street.He noted that compareto scientific findings, anecdotal evidence is not good enough when an officein court defending against a wrongful death claim because he felt he had toshoot some[body] with a knife at 0-dark:30 a.m.

    After testing the Rule against FSRCs landmark findings on action-reactiontimes and conferring with selected members of its National and Technical

    Advisory Boards, the Center has reached these conclusions, according toExecutive Director Dr. Bill Lewinski:1. Because of a prevalent misinterpretation, the 21-Foot Rule has beendangerously corrupted.2. When properly understood, the 21-Foot Rule is still valid in certain limitedcircumstances.3. For many officers and situations, a 21-foot reactionary gap is not sufficien4. The weapon that officers often think they can depend on to defeat knifeattacks cant be relied upon to protect them in many cases.5. Training in edged-weapon defense should by no means be abandoned.

    1.MISINTERPRETATIONUnfortunately, some officers and apparently some trainers as well havestreamlinedthe 21-Foot Rule in a way that gravely distorts its meaning andexposes them to highly undesirable legal consequences,Lewinski says.Namely, they have come to believe that the Rule means that a subject

    brandishing an edged weapon when positioned at any distance less than 21 feet from an officer can justifiably bshot.

    Top 9 Reasons To Use Kettlebells

    The Worlds Most Elite Militaries Use Kettlebells to Whip Their Soldiers Into Shap

    Kettlebell training amplifies your power output. This may be my favoritereason to trawith kettlebells! Since classic kettlebell lifts such as the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk can

    be performed slowly, they develop a special quality known as power-endurance, or yourability to produce movements over an extended period of time. This differs from strengthendurance. Strength- endurance is your ability to produce force over an extended periodtime. Power-endurance adds another time component; power-endurance is your ability tosustain fast muscular contractions over an extended period of time. While both strength-endurance and power-endurance are essential qualities to possess, power-endurance isusually what determines who the winner is in sport. Power-endurance training is also anexcellent way to training for fat loss and conditioning.Kettlebell training teaches your body how to contend with a constantly changingcenter of gravity.By design, the kettlebells center of gravity lays 6- 8 inches outside ofyour grip; this replicates the forces that youll encounter in sport and activities in daily liviThis feature of the kettlebell will help improve this aspect of sports performance.Kettlebell training builds powerful forearms and a strong grip. Kettlebells possess athicker handle than their barbell and dumbbell counterparts taxing your grip and developgreater forearm strength. As our society continues to move away from manual labor our strength continues to decrease as well. Kettlebell training will help reverse this trend. Thedesign of the kettlebell also adds another unique component to your grip training. Since tkettlebells center of gravity is usually in motion your grip training becomes a combinatio

    dynamic and static muscular contractions in an attempt to control that fluctuating center of mass.Kettlebell training improves your cardiorespiratory fitness. Since many kettlebell exercises take place with arms in an overhead position the muscles responsible for assisting the breathing process are engaged in musculaactivity, not allowing them to assist in the respiratory process. This forces the muscles most responsible for breathto play an even larger role in cardio-vascular fitness.Kettlebell training eliminates the need for a large training facility. The fitness industry is undergoing a changethought and designSmall is thenew bigSmaller, more focused fitness and sport training facilitiesincrease innumber daily and are much more profitable than larger, less personal studios. This makes kettlebell training ideal fsmall facilities.Kettlebells possess a very small footprint, meaning that they take up very little floor space. Kettlebe

    dont require expensive racks; they can be stored in the corner or underneath other equipment. Kettlebell training allows you to reduce overall training time,so you can devote your attention to other issuessuch as strategy, skill, rest and recovery. We all know how time-crunched everyone is today. A quick yet effectiveworkout is the order of the day and kettlebell training delivers.Kettlebell training bridges the gap between strength training and cardio;sport and real life do not respect thedifference.Kettlebell training allows you to never miss your workout. Again, we all know how busy people are today.Kettlebells allow you to train anywhere, the local park, beach, outside or inside.Til next time...

    Respect Your Sensei :

    We of The Martial Arts abov

    do, or should understand the

    meaning of ~ Respect. In T

    Websters Dictionary it mean

    To be considered worthy of regard or ~ pay attention to

    find this Interesting, why ?

    Have you looked around late

    as to what is happening all o

    the world, in every Country,

    State and City ? We see it o

    TV, hear it on the radio or re

    it in the papers and on socia

    media. Lets start with some

    examples: beatings, rapes,shootings, and we know it go

    on, but lets stick with just th

    for now. Im sure you may have your ideas as to why this is happening as much a

    is. In fact actually they are such regular occurrences, many just shrug their should

    and go about their day to day business being numbed by its consistency.

    I believe respect begins in the home, period. The home environment is our very fir

    classroom, and our parents and family members are our teachers as well as stude

    themselves. What I mean is we all are students, as we learn as we go, in everythin

    we do. What happens if we have a teacher ( parent) who may be unqualified due

    the fact that they did not have proper schooling either ? How did you learn to be a

    parent ? We learn by example, we learn by watching, and listening to what goes o

    around us every moment of every day. If you have a parent who may be

    a bit rough around the edges or worse, then as they say ~ The apple does not fa

    far from the tree

    So here we are with possibilities of character building going in the wrong direction.

    will also mention as Sensei the responsibility factors of parents, are the very same

    We as parents, and Sensei are given the responsibilities to mold, build, improve. And even at times create

    something far more than what is presented, by one who walks through our door. We know it is easier to take

    someone who has been schooled at home properly according to general knowledge

    and we take it from there ! Respect is earned, it is not a given.

    Respect is also learned but only as it is lived. If one does not live it, they do not have it, and may know nothing

    except for a more twisted Idea of its meaning, like the gang mentality. I respect kindness, I respect ones inner

    strength, I respect honesty, and I respect all facets of one who has integrity, and good character. We are all

    products of our home environment, some great, some good , and some not so good. I do not blame the child, b

    will blame the parent, but I also will not let the child slide from the position of accountability. Responsibility mea

    exactly this ~ IN YOUR CHARGE ~ Choice !!! I have been teaching for over 40 yrs and I see people can chang

    As Sensei we need to be fully aware, and understand the issues at hand. We need to be able to deal with them

    but we must also walk int the shadow we cast. We need to be a constant good example in the way of Bushido

    we teach. Be who we say we are, and what we are supposed to be. Respect is earned, not a given no matter

    what rank you hold. A belt only holds up Your pants, but it is the character and content of the Sensei that will ea

    that respect ~ Respect your Sensei

    MMAWeekly:You just thought you were getting punched? You didnt even realize you were stabbed until you saw the blood pouring out of your body?Murray:Yes. I didnt feel anything. I didnt feel anything at all. When I saw the blood on my head, I thoughtsomeone had punched me in the head because there was about four or five of them on me, and one of themobviously had a big knife. When he stabbed me in the head the blood just came racing down my face. I wiped tblood out away from my face to get it out of my eye and just continued punching. It wasnt until I looked down amy chest that I see the blood squirting out of my chest that I knew I had been stabbed in the heart. I took my shoff and put my shirt in the hole and tried to stop the bleeding. I just run off down the road and jumped into somecar. I think there was two girls getting into the car leaving the club, and I just jumped in their car and said get ma hospital quick. Ive been stabbed in the heart. I didnt know these girls, and these girls just drove off. These gsaved my life. I went to jump into a taxi first, and the taxi driver, he locked his doors and just raced off. He woullet me get into his car.MMAWeekly:So you get with these two girls, you have no idea who they are. They take you to the hospital, anyou actually diedCorrect?Murray:Yes. I died three times.What happened was when I jumped in the girls car, they didnt take me to thehospital because they didnt know where the hospital was because they were in central London. What they donthey rung up for an ambulance and the person on the end of the phone said you re going to have to get tosomewhere where we can pick him up from. The girls said they worked in a casino in central London, Ill take hto the casino and just meet me there. The ambulance met at this casino. The police turn up, and the police werthere. The ambulance turned up and they got me out of the car. I was out at this time. I lost so much blood thatwas out. I couldnt remember being there. Then I remember waking up in the ambulance with masks on my facand I tried to rip the masks off. I didnt know what was going on. I blacked back out again, and then I woke backin the hospital on the operating table. One of my friends come charging through and they were shouting at him get out because the danger of getting an infection. The next minute I was out again, and I woke up in intensivecare about two days later.MMAWeekly: Unbelievable. So, you told me the longest you were dead was for four minutes.Murray:Yes. I think it was the last time I died. I died three times. The last time I died I was dead for about fourminutes. The surgeon said to my family and stuff, he said look because hes been dead for longer than threeminutes, I think, if here covers theres a good possibility that hes going to be brain damaged.MMAWeekly: Man. And here you are, seriously, weeks later talking to us. The recovery is unbelievable. I meansomebody is looking out for you man because you shouldnt even be talking to us right now.Murray:I know. They said to me, if it was the average person theyd be dead. They would have never survived

Have you changed your ways now because I know youve had hundreof street fights?Murray:I think its made me stronger mentally. I think its made me stronger as a person. I think when I comebpeople were thinking he aint going to be able to fight again, and he aint going to be as strong as he was. I thinIm going to come back stronger from this. I think its going to make me train harder. All this time Ive trained, Inever put 100% in my training. If I had a fight coming up Id train eight to ten weeks before the fight, and after thfight Id go out partying for two months and I wouldnt train...I never put 100% into my training.

    Attributes of the Combative Shooter

    ByChris Fryon January 13, 2010

    An attribute is defined as a quality, character, characteristic, or property belongi

    to a person, thing, or group. In this article Id like to discuss the essential attribu

    of the combative shooter, as I see them. Note I do not list accuracy or speed in m

    list of shooting attributes. While these are certainly desirable attributes for the

    combative shooter, they are not as important as mental conditioning, efficiency,consistency and practicality. Without these attributes, accuracy and speed may

    attainable, but they wont be reproducible under the duress and stress of a phys

    attack. If what youre doing with your firearm is not reproducible when you need

    then it is not applicable to personal protection.

    Mental ConditioningBelieve in yourself and your ability to become

    combative shooter.

    2. Belief SystemIf you truly believe you will never have tdefend yourself with a firearm, then youwill never fully embrace and engage in training required to become proficient. Ymay perform adequately at a training clor shooting event, but your skills will nereach the level required for you to perfoon demand or under stress. In short, if ydo not believe in the necessity of whatyoure doing, you will never push hard

    enough, make the required sacrifices, opursue excellence. Belief in the goal,

    dedication to the task and maximum effbuild confidence. Confidence in yourself and the skills you possessdifferentiates those who are willing to act from those who are actors. Thcombative shooter believes in what he is training and the necessity forthose skills.

    2. DecisionThe combative shooter has decided which path to follow. Occasionally shooting bulls-eyes at the rangedoes not have a direct correlation to defending oneself with a firearm. Attending competitive shootingevents requires skill, no doubt. Yet, inherent to all competitive events is an element of gaming that mostwho attend need to have if they want to win. The combative shooters goal is not to win a trophy, medal

    title. It is to survive during a dynamic, life-threatening critical incident. Certainly, there are competitive

    shooters who are by no means easy prey, but they are the exception, not the rule. While target practiceand competition help to build the combative shooters ability, understanding the difference between realand square range drills shows them that competitive skills do not always carry over practically or tacticato combative shooting. The combative shooter has made a decision, has committed and continually worto develop a reproducible level of proficiency with personal protection as the ultimate goal.

    12/23

    3. ActionThe combative shooter develops the necessary skills throughdedication to the task at hand. As MMA fighter, coach and lawenforcement officer Paul Sharp prescribes: Do your best to log1000 hours of combative shooting training over your lifetime.

    Training one hour a week is only 52 hours a year, so 1000 houis a considerable amount of time and requires dedication to yogoal. Attending an eight-hour training class twice a year is not

    enough. Going to the range on Sundays and plinking cans is not enough. Will attendance at a weekend trainingclass help push you toward that goal and impart skills? Sure, but remember that without practice, those skills aperishable.

    Quality instruction will help boost your confidence.

    Feeling confident about ones skills the day after an awesome training experience is a great feeling, and comba

    shooters strive to feel confident in their skills to protect not only themselves but also their family throughout theientire lives. Give it the time required to become and remain proficient and understand the necessity of the skill,otherwise you shouldnt rely upon it to be available when you need it. Rome was not built in a day.Eff ic iencyEfficiency is the accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of time and effortWhat separates those who can shoot from those who are professional shooters are economy of motion andefficiency. Shooting is both a mental and a physical endeavor. Wasted movement is wasted time and, during atime-is-life encounter, being efficient is critical if you want to win, i.e. survive. Being efficient means finding the btechniques, gun-handling procedures and methods that are effective and utilize the least amount of effort. Natupoint of aim (NPA) is a good example. When shooting from any position, it is important we shoot from our NPAdo anything less is to work against the muscles of our own bodies, which expends energy and induces fatigue.Neither are desired results during a life or death situation when time, energy and effort are precious and oftenfleeting commodities.Consistency

    Shooting is a complex set of events that require consistent practice to be mastered. If the gun-handling techniqchosen are not consistent, then efficiency, safety and ultimately survivability are all affected. Any precision- andtime-oriented physical task requires consistency in order to perform the task repeatedly on demand. Take, forexample, trigger manipulation. If the trigger of a firearm is not manipulated consistently in the same manner foreach shot, then each shot may in fact strike the target in a different location. Or if the handgun is held in a differposition each time an emergency reload is required, the mind and body will waste time searching. Focus will cooff the threat and aid in the search for the gun to assist in the reload procedure. This wasted time and redirectioof threat focus could mean the difference between life and death. For some combative shooters, such as membof law enforcement, military or security forces, proficiency with multiple weapon platforms is required. Combativshooting skills should share features and characteristics or possess consistent attributes from one firearm to thnext. It should be the goal of every combative shooter to perform certain firearm manipulations the same way

    when using a pistol, carbine or shotgun. If a different technique is required to combatively handle each firearm,then our ability to make decisions during stressful situations and therefore to take action is slowed. If consistenand commonality exist, then decisions are accelerated, since the technique is the same for one firearm as it is fanother. Examples include platform, loading/reloading procedures and malfunction clearance procedures. If adifferent shooting platform is utilized for each firearm, efficiency suffers. If a different loading position andprocedure are used for the pistol than the carbine and shotgun, then that is inefficient. Commonality of skill setsacross firearm platforms develops a more efficient combative shooter and limits the decisions that need to bemade under stress.

    PracticalityStudy personal protection shootings via the NRAs Armed Citizen reportsand the FBIs Law Enforcement OfficeKilled & Assaulted reports, read about historical shootings, and debrief individuals who have been involved in

    shootings. All of these aid in determining what skills are most practical and necessary for the combative shooteTraining in varied weather conditions, with varied target systems and training aids is also essential.

    Dont forget to practice weak-side shooting. You may need it.

    The majority of firearms training is conducted on square rangewith stationary paper targets. To be truly practical, the combatshooter must engage in some force-on-force testing of skills aself-auditing and self-adjusting process. This testing solidifies validity of and belief in the skills being trained.

    Without this practical validation process, most of what a shootdoes on the range is anecdotal and sometimes speculative. Tcombative shooter prepares for realistic situations and trains ithe most practical manner possible.

    Conclus ions

    What makes a combative shooter different from any other person who shoots? The word combative illustrates

    the shooters mindset: thinking combatively represents a proactive mindset. Having a combative mindset does mean youre looking for trouble or a fight. It means that a decision has been made that when trouble or potentia

    harm is imminent, the combative shooter would rather act first versus thinking defensively and waiting to react tthe aggressor.

    Will you be ready when the target isnt made of paper?

    The combative shooter maintains this mental preparation on and off the range.Training is not just shooting at targets, it is preparation for when the firearm may hto be utilized to stop (not kill) a potential attacker. Ultimately it doesnt matter what

    name you give it, what matters is that you think combatively.

    If you make a decision to train for personal protection, it is imperative that you beliin what youre training and know why youre training it. Strive to become efficient,

    consistent and practical when youre shooting, and youll be on the right path towa

    combative shooting proficiency for personal protection.

    Dr. Benton also emphasizes to new recruits and students alike that communication remains one of the most important skil

    for law enforcement officers. You cant take any action to prevent an act of domestic terrorism without first communicating

    that intelligence, he said. It is important for law enforcement officers to have strong writing and verbal communication ski

    Jobs for young recruits are competitive, but Dr. Benton said the jobs are there. Many baby boomers will be retiring over th

    next decade and as they phase out, agencies will be hiring a tremendous amount of young people, he said. Those enterinthe field are finding that the demands of the profession require more than knowing the functionality of thecriminal

    justice system, he said. The focus of many agencies is now on intelligence-led policing and helping officers focus on prolif

    offenders. It usesmore of a business model, using your resources to get the best bang for your buck, so to say, said Dr.

    Benton. Since his department began using this intelligence-led policing approach about five years ago, the crime rate has

    gone down by 30-40 percent.

    Therefore, its important for officers to know how to utilize intelligence and be able to analyze data and information across

    broad scope, he said. Education, regardless of the specific degree program, is the first step in being able to successfully

    adapt to the evolving law enforcement profession.

    The Limitations of most Martial Arts& Self-Defense Systems

    Adapt / evolve

    First lets look at the terms I am speaking about Limitations The act of controlling the sor extent of something: the act of limiting something: something that controls how mucsomething is possible or allowed: something (such as a lack of ability, strength or openmindedness) that controls what a person is able to do or think.Second I am looking through this from a fighter perspective a combative minds set NORULES. CHEAT FIRST, CHEAT IN THE MIDDLE, CHEAT LAST.

    A while back, I read a thread posted online, someone who wanted advice about whichmartial arts they should train in. You can imagine most of the responses were about hosuperior their style or system is compare to the others But there was one comment thafound to be particularly significant. Someone in the thread said, You should learnsomething that works on the street.Now I agree with that BUT There are hundreds offighting systems out there. Some of them have techniques that stretch back to a timewhen people were actually killing each other with their bare hands. Some say The MMthe answer Can this really be true that the only ones with any self-defense value are thones that dominate the UFC? NO!!. While MMA is excellent combative sports systemswhich have a lot of the skills necessary for self-defense, it still has limitations. Rememb

    it is sports. Lets look at the LIMITATIONS that Traditional Martial Arts, Boxing, WingChun, J.K.D. Ect..YOU FILL IN THE BLANK has. NOW IF your system or style does teach even 1, it has limitations It could be do to the Instructor, the system, style, mind or organization.1) Lack of multiple opponent scenarios training2) Lack of weapons defense training, Modern day3) Lack of an emphasis on avoiding fights . I teach the 3 Ds Detect, Defuss, Defend oDestroy which

    also coincides with Pre, During and Post of a physical altercation.4) Ground Combatives5) Edge weapon combat6) combative pistol and Long gun Shooting7) Full contact fighting

    8) deployment of your defensive weapon again modern day 9) what are the laws in your state that pertain to Self Defense10) Does your system or style allow to adapt or evolve to meet the needs of the altercaand todays

    world.11) does it teach weapons of opportunity or improvised weapons.

    This is a small list that I use for my system, they are sub category but I will not go into it at this time.Now a while back a Muay Thai Champion was in an altercation where he was shot and killed. He was ill prepared for thatcombative scenario. He never trained to deal with a firearm, Now that being said, could be that nothing he did could havesaved his life. Sep 4, 2012Alberta MMA fighter and instructor was fatally stabbed, again did not train for that. I could go and onI could also show examples of T.M.A. ect wining and sub -doing an assailant but more offend than not they get the short

    of the stick, Not because they are in capable but because they do not train for that scenario or that level of aggression.Look at some of the Masters and Combat Instructors say about adapting evolving in combatWhen the mind is tethered to a center, naturally it is not FREE; it can move only within the LIMITS of that center.Bruce Lee.You dont grow unless you go out of the confines of your own system/style...it is from the old we get security anthe new that we get growthDan Inosanto.The superior fighter has no emotional attachment to any particular range of combat. -BTCMS MaximThe man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind. ~William Blake

    In a Combative situation It is not necessary to change But then again Survival is not mandatory either, both as asystem or style or individual, I would suggest Survive.Mr.Traylor

    Action and reaction, cause and effect, trial and error, adaptabilitythis is the rhythm of combat, its alive. Out of oover-confidence, we fail then fear; out of our fear, we stay stagnant. If we adapt we have clearer vision, and freshunderstand. And out of understanding, progress, that adaptability to what seats before you.Mr.Traylor

    In closing to adapt is essential in combat but to change for change sake could be WRONG. It depends on the reason for thadapting/change. Only If you feel that you or your system or style lacks, then adapt, change to fix that hole you feel it mayhave or the lack of material to cover that gap. I have yet to see any system or style not lack in any area of combat in cludimine, be it the ranges of combat Kicking Boxing Trapping Grappling the weapons of combat Body weapon, edge weapoblunt force weapon or firearm hand gun or long gun the application of those weapons, the ability to utilize the weapon thatyou procured in combat, You were able to take the gun from him but here comes his bud, Do you know IF the gun is loadeDo you how to find out? Do you know Tap, Rack, Access? How about an edge weapon? You have it but he is still coming ahis bud pulled out his edge weapon, Know how to use it or will you throw it down, and fight and hope he does not pick it baup or someone else that you were not aware of.

    Extra Security Needed At Fast-Food Eateries Like Burger KingONE YEAR LATER: Burger King Slayings Update

    An Order Of Extra Security Needed At Fast-Food Eateries01/14/2008More late-night hours, workforce turnover and locations near maroadways make fast-food restaurants easy targets for robberies. Its been trueyears; and it is even more true today, because hours have been expanded,

    restaurants are not open about security measures and the industry hasnt donenough to protect its workers, according to one security expert. So many ofthese places are operating like its 1950, and its not 1950 anymore. Then theare surprised when someone gets shot,said J.R. Roberts, founder of SecuritStrategies, a Savannah, Ga.-based security training and consulting companyhard to tell if security at local fast-food restaurants has increased one year afttwo Burger King workers were killed in a brutal stabbing that police called abotched robbery. Franchise owners contacted by The Daily Journal declined ttalk about security, citing securitya counter intuitive tactic, according toRoberts. Roberts said owners should tell the world that high security is in placso people dont even think about making a move. Im not suggesting pattingdown the customers before they get a Quarter Pounder,he said. But

    businesses need to send the signal that this isnt a good place to knock off.Roberts said shopping malls everywhere have security personnel both outsideand inside. Ask a mall shopper, Roberts said, about security personnel. Howdoes (security personnel) make you feel? Safer or less safe?The BK response

    At the time of the double-murder at the Momence Burger King, there was nosecurity camera. There is now. The business has also stopped using the doorthe rear of the restaurant where the killer entered. In a written response fromBurger King Corp. to The Daily Journals questions, the company stated all itsrestaurants have day-and-night security. But it would not address specificquestions as to security upgrades. As a general policy, we do not comment ospecific security measures to avoid from compromising these procedures,the

    statement read. The increase in crime at such fast-food places as Burger Kingmatches the increased late-night hours. As convenient store owners havestepped up security with more cameras and drop boxes for cash deposits, peseeking easy money have turned to fast food for a quick, easy target. Many othese places are not screening their employees properly and they are not trai

    them properly,he said. In fact, he said, many of these restaurants are designed to offer little resistance to crimThere is money for securityAccording to Roberts, cost should not be a consideration when it comes to securThe industry is making money. As of 2004, the industry employed more than 12 million people in 878,000establishments, Roberts said. The projected earnings for that year were $440 billion. Sales figure for 2007 woueasily surpass $500 billion, he said. Lt. Kevin McGovern of the Kankakee Police Department said if people donfeel safe, they should call the police. People say they dont want to bother us. I always tell them that that is whwe are here for. Police would rather get a call from you before you are a victim rather than after,he

    said.McGovern said there are things businesses can do for customer safety. Bushes should be cut low. Treebranches should be trimmed high. Exterior lighting should be uniform. Windows should be uncluttered. Pedestrtraffic onto the property should be limited. The last thing criminals want is a bunch of eyes on them. The greatethe visibility, the less likely it is that a crime will happen.daily-journal.com

    CONT.. from Page 1

    For example, an article on the 21-Foot Rule in a highly respected LE magazine states in its opening sentence ta suspect armed with an edged weapon and within twenty-one feet of a police officer presents a deadly threatThe common knowledgethat deadly force against him is justifiedhas long been accepted in police and coucircles,the article continues. Statements like that, Lewinski says, have led officers to believe that no matter wposition theyre in, even with their gun on target and their finger on the trigger, they are in extreme danger at 21

    feet. They believe they dont have a chance of surviving unless they preempt the suspect by shooting.However widespread that contaminated interpretation may be, it is NOT accurate. A suspect with a knife withinfeet of an officer is POTENTIALLY a deadly threat. He does warrant getting your gun out and ready. But he canbe considered an actual threat justifying deadly force until he takes the first overt action in furtherance of intentilike starting to rush or lunge toward the officer with intent to do harm. Even then there may be factors besidesdistance that influence a force decision. So long as a subject is stationary or moving around but not advancinggiving any indication hes about to charge, it clearly is not legally justified to use lethal force against him. Officewho do shoot in those circumstances may find themselves subject to disciplinary action, civil suits or even crimcharges.

    2. VALIDITY

    In real-world encounters, many variables affect time, which is the key component of the 21-Foot Rule. What is the trainin

    skill and stress level of the officer? How fast and agile is he? How alert is he to preliminary cues to aggressive movement?How agile and fast is the suspect? Is he drunk and stumbling, or a young guy in a ninja outfit ready to rock and roll? Howadept is the officer at drawing his holstered weapon? What kind of holster does he have? Whats the terrain? If its outdoo

    is the ground bumpy or pocked with holes? Is the suspect running on concrete, or on grass, or through snow and across iIs the officer uphill and the suspect downhill, or vice versa? If its indoors, is the officer at the foot of stairs and the suspeabove him, or vice versa? Are there obstacles between them? And so on.These factors and others can impact the validity of the 21-Foot Rule because they affect an attacking suspect s speed inreaching the officer, and the officers speed in reacting to the threatening charge.The 21-Foot Rule was formulated by timing subjects beginning their headlong run from a dead stop on a flat surface offergood traction and officers standing stationary on the same plane, sidearm holstered and snapped in. The FSRC hasextensively measured action and reaction times under these same conditions. Among other things, the Center hasdocumented the time it takes officers to make 20 different actions that are common in deadly force encounters. Here aresome of the relevant findings that the FSRC applied in reevaluating the 21-Foot Rule:

    Once he perceives a signal to do so, the AVERAGE officer requires 1.5 seconds to draw from a snapped Level II holster anfire one unsighted round at center mass. Add 1/4 of a second for firing a second round, and another 1/10 of a second forobtaining a flash sight picture for the average officer.

    The fastest officer tested required 1.31 seconds to draw from a Level II holster and get off his first unsighted round. Theslowest officer tested required 2.25 seconds. For the average officer to draw and fire an unsighted round from a snappedLevel III holster, which is becoming increasingly popular in LE because of its extra security features, takes 1.7 seconds.

    Meanwhile, the AVERAGE suspect with an edged weapon raised in the traditional ice-pickposition can go from a dead stto level, unobstructed surface offering good traction in 1.5-1.7 seconds.

    The fastest, most skillful, most powerfulsubject FSRC tested easilycovered that distance in 1.27 seconds. Intense rag

    high agitation and/or the influence of stimulants may even shorten that time, Lewinski observes.Even the slowest subject lumberedthrough this distance in just 2.5 seconds.

    Bottom line: Within a 21-foot perimeter, most officers dealing with most edged-weapon suspects are at a decided perhafatal disadvantage if the suspect launches a sudden charge intent on harming them. Certainly it is not safe to have yougun in your holster at this distance,Lewinski says, and firing in hopes of stopping an activated attack within this range m

    well be justified. If you shoot an edged-weapon offender before he is actually on you or at least within reachingdistance, you need to anticipate being challenged on your decision by people both in and out of law enforcemewho do not understand the sobering facts of action and reaction times,says FSRC National Advisory Boardmember Bill Everett, an attorney, use-of-force trainer and former cop. Someone is bound to say, Hey, this guywas 10 feet away when he dropped and died. Whyd you have to shoot him when he was so far away from you

    Are You Just Going Through the Motions?

    We do not own m otion, we hone i tMBB

    In a conversation with Guro Michael Blackgrave the founder of SEAMOK (SimpleEffective Aggressive Methods of Kombate) the topic of what do you do with your trainonce you leave whether it is your weekly training or a seminar? This article is rather idepth and will be a series; this article is the first piece and the next article will explainnext pieces that tie all of the listed questions together. The conversation I had with G

    Blackgrave brought up a series of questions and what do you do:

    Do you go home and practice utilizing it? For example, gun training/seminars that utilize movement, tactics, an

    safety for yourself and/or family.

    Do you go home and survey your house and establish a plan? Do you practice when you go to bed at night as if you are asleep and

    hear a noise? Can you pull a knife while being attacked?

    Do you ever practice when not dressed as many do sleep naked or the shower?

    Can you defend and use your skill from a vehicle?

    There were so many topics to cover, but the truth behind it, if you dont practice it outof a classroom setting, how prepared are you? The following is a story that happenedme, but as the article progresses it will define how I was able to react quickly:I stayed at a hotel one time, old school actual keys and not cards. I fell asleep with mlights on; a noise brought me out of my sleep. The noise my door knob turned, but it wlocked. I awoke, looked, grabbed, and rolled off into a tactical position waiting. Yes Iwait, I prefer for them to pass me and not chase. I will explain further later. My dog,Sayoc was with me and he growled as the door began to shake as if they were tryingjerk it open. Then everything stopped. I slowly made my way to look out the window.They were gone, my first line of defense was being able to decipher a noise, threat onot. Sayoc was the second, intimidating with his deepness in a bark or growl.

    Deciphering noises, it is a long or short depending on how you process and train outs

    of the classroom. How do we do this? I sat in silence during both busy times and quietimes, listening to all outside noises. This led me to know what is normal and what is Once one learns this, then we add in background noise, a TV or music. One focuses on little noises, I listened to my radioloudly and listened to my son entering or leaving, the noises of slamming car doors, kids running and playing, trees scrappagainst the windows, etc From this point he/she will be able to hone in on the out of place noises.

    In reaction time from hearing to executing, once I was able to decipher noises I started practicing grabbing weapons from sleeping position. My knives were positioned to come out of the sheath blade up as if an attacker would be on top. The othpart was gun work. This was a daily training exercise for me. I worked it, I became faster and faster. As I worked this I alsothrew in if I was able to get up before they were in, I recess in dark corners as I know the layout of my own home. Theattacker passing me in the dark gave me the edge and the advantage. They were not going to expect this. The majority runthe noise. For guys that can be there vantage point, but I like to lurk in the shadows for the element of surprise.Another incident that ties the above two topics/training together was the first time I had to grab and go. A friend was stayinwith me. She knew the house rules, no men unless I meet them. I am asleep; I hear a males voice that I do not know. I graand go, clearing each corner as I go, keeping my gun close on these corners down three flights of stairs. (Thank youInstructor Gregory Slack of Gladiators Combat Club in Jackson, TN for working this with me) Once I was on the bottom floThere this man stood hands up and scared. His first meeting with me was with a gun in his face. My friend quickly yelled ouwho he was. He never came by unannounced again. I train all aspects from a sleeping position (bed or couch) grabbing agun, a knife, empty hands, whatever T.O.Y. S. I have around me at the moment, and clothed and not clothed. I want to besure I am prepared in all aspects. The people who trained me gave me technique and skill I have to further that. I usepressure tactics such as timing myself from the length of time it takes me to hear, grab/respond, and go. Training in this wabecomes a valuable tool for the practitioner; a split second can save your life. The examples here are just a few.

    Guro Blackgrave and I spoke in depth on this topic and it is interesting the things you hear. Well I shoot x amount of roundthe local shooting place. This is great but can you in a deep sleep hear grab and go. It does not matter how much you canshoot, how good you are with a knife if you cannot do it in crucial moments. Some comments were I sleep naked at night shave to get dressed. For a female it is a great shock technique to use if the attacker is male. It gives you a bit more time. Fmales not sure how that works out in the shock technique defense but anything is possible. I think an attacker would assumthey have the upper hand. The next article will discuss and break down more of the questions above.

    Bio:As a child I have always been interested in Martial Arts. I loved watching Kung Fu Sundays on USA. Around 11 years old my parentsallowed me to start training in American Karate, unfortunately I moved to my mothers and train ing stopped.I started training again around 27 years old when I enrolled my son into Tae Kwon Do. We trained under Master Fullington for 3 years. Ithen met Jason Segerson, who trained me in Ninjitsu. I left TKD and trained with another group they titled it Street Karate, briefly createdLaw enforcement officers. I later married Jason so my sole training was Ninjitsu. After our divorce, I branched out to train with InstructorGregory T Slack, a Swat Team member, at his place Gladiators Combat Club in Jackson, TN. He trained me in boxing, Muay Thai, andKravMaga both privates and class settings. While training with Instructor Slack, I also trained with Guro Adam Buchter inMandeMudaPenchakSilat, Herman Suwanda style and Inosanto Blend FMA. I lso trained in Memphis with Memphis Kali Silat under GRobin Schermerhorn in FMA, his style was a blend of Inosanto, Dog Brothers, La Coste and a few others.I moved to Florida and I practiced with Anthony Chan, FCS Kali and Wing Chun and Aaron Chappell who does PSP Silat. I have alsoattended with Anthony Chan some of the FCS Kali Instructor Camps. I am constantly keeping my passion in tact as I will be back to it .I currently on break, I still practice. I had back surgery in 2009, but I still continued my training. However in 2012 I was rear-ended, I amcurrently rehabbing my back. In this I know most ask my belt or my level, I never tested. I do not believe in the ranking system, it is just apiece of paper or a colored belt. I have been training about 12 years now with a few breaks, but my son trains as well so we never reallystopped. My instructors were okay with my thought process, because I do not need these items to prove to me my abilities. My true testbe when I am on the street and I if I survive.
