The demo went well.
I showed weapon retention moves for when the bad guy tries to take an officers gun in a variety of scenarios.
I believe this demo will lead to some contracts for me to teach or at least add more students to my upcoming weapon retention class.
Tomorrow I'm teaching some kids how to avoid getting bitten by a dog, and what to do if they are bitten. I'm looking forward to it.
Have a wonderful day!

Self Defense instructor and now rotary speaker
Today I received a phone call to speak for one of the local rotary clubs. It seems that someone from the last presentation I did put my name in as a very entertaining and informative speaker, at least thats what the program coordinator told me.
Well, I'm going to speak to them for about 30 minutes on 'How to survive a mugging'.
Good timing. I just published an email on how to survive a mugging. Click here to get your free copy of it.
Simple, yet powerful.
(What does this mean? Well it describes the self-defense method I teach. I learned it from an ex-marine and its so different. It uses reflexes, simple gross motor skills [these are the only skills your body has functioning during an attack, Thats while complex methods fail] and natural movement. Its easy to learn and you'll be able to respond automatically whenever you're attacked. You'll move so fast you'll wonder what you did, and so will the bad guy as he tries to stand back up. The name of the system if Hikuta.)
Are you craving to know more? Well, go ahead, click here to see what Hikuta is all about.

Combat Office day
Today was very productive.
I spoke to someone in the Marines as well as few different police departments about training.
We also did some things with our website.
I would really like to do more training of law enforcement and military, however I will continue to train law abiding citizens also.
Have a great day!
Fight hard, never stop.

TREXPO was very interesting
A lot of work went into being an exhibitor at TREXPO, but it really helped me focus on helping law enforcement and the military to be able to offer them some very unique training.
The training I've put together for them is based on reflexes, gross motor skills, natural movement and the principle of using one's entire bodyweight to deliver a strike so powerful that only one will knock a bad guy down.
This training also uses a loose fist, no blocking, proactive approach- to make the user win any confrontation.
The event itself was only the first step. We will now begin following up with all those who expressed an interest in seeing more of what we offer.
To be continued when I have a chance to write more about this topic.
Have a wonderful day.

Jail break dummy
Today I suited up our 6' foot tall dummy on wheels in orange, county jail coveralls,
and a new Mike Myers face mask.
He's all set for the TREXPO (Tactical Response Exposition law enforcement trade show)
for March 15 & 16, 2006.
It should be a great event. I'm really looking forward to it.

Dog but no K9 sergeant
Defending against a dog is probably easier than getting an in person interview
with one of the top K9 police sergeants in southern California.
Twice he was called out, and the third time he had a family emergency, so finally I'm scheduled to meet with his top trainer next week, however the trainer wants to do the interview off camera.
Although we are going to be able to put some dogs on camera.
To this I will add the information from the phone interviews I did with two
animal control officers and one other K9 officer.
So the video on 'how to defend against a dog' will come out on April 3, 2006 to be released as our first monthly newsletter video.
Several of my readers have asked how and when they'll be able to sign up, so I'll put up the information just as soon as possible.
Don't miss our video newsletter. This video will give you some revolutionary skills to help you protect yourself from dangerous dogs. You'll also be able to teach it to others.

It almost burned down
A police officer friend of mine was out of town for the last few days, when I got a call from
him today about a fire at his house.
As I went to check on his house I noticed that their was major damage. One wall was really scorched.
Thank God the dog starting barking so his family woke up and got safely
out of the house, and everyone is okay.
Its scary to think how it could of been worst.
Speaking of dogs, click here to see our latest newsletter on how to defend yourself against a dog.

Police car, pictures and fun
Last night we were up late doing a photo shoot for a trade show (TREXPO)
that I'm an exhibitor at in Los Angeles on March 15 & 16.
There we are guns, shotguns, knives, bullet proof vests, I mean we were loaded down
with weapons and had just finished a series of pictures, when we turned to see the wide-eyed
janitor who had just walked in.
His eyes got real big as he looked around at all the weapons we had on our belts, in our hands and on the table next to us.
Then his look turned to that of someone who was quite nervous, so I told him we were doing a photo shoot for an upcoming event, which seemed to calm his nerves.
After we finished indoors, we went outside and took some pictures with someones old car and a police cruiser.
We set up as a traffic stop that turned violent with the bad guys losing big.
I'll grab some of the pictures and post them on our picture page and I'll let everyone know when they're up.
Switching subjects a little, if you haven't seen our training videos, click here now to check them out.
