We'll be finishing up the filming in a few weeks then we'll edit and get it out there
for the men and women of law enforcement.

Click here to see details about our May 6, 2006 'Weapon Retention' course.

Stay safe out there.

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.

Have a wonderful day.

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.

Fight hard, Never stop!

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.
