17 killed near El Paso
Last week, near El Paso, Texas, gunmen lined people up in a rehab clinic killing 17 of the 20 persons that they shot.
With our world becoming increasingly violent, whenever someone shows up with a gun you must assume they are going to use the gun.
Taking hostages these days often ends with the hostages being killed.
If someone shows up with a gun, try to get away immediately.
Look for all possible escape routes and rapidly increase your distance from the gunmen.
If you are quickly moving away from the gunmen, it will be very difficult for him or her to shoot you.
Now, you might say, well, I don't want to get shot, well, neither do I.
However its better to walk into a hospital emergency room where they can remove a bullet or two and stop the bleeding, than to end up dead in the street with a dozen bullet holes all over your body, because you stayed near the gunmen like a sitting duck.
Do you want him shooting at you from 5 feet away or would you rather be rapidly moving away where he'd have a very difficult time hitting you?
Even if he did shoot you, the technology in hosipital emergency rooms, (at least in the USA) has advanced to the point that people can survive being shot in the head, the eye and even the heart.
However, you choose to respond, you should decide now that you will take action to survive, even if that simply means running away from the gunman.
All the best!

Do you know how to take a punch?
Do you know how to take a punch?
A boxer asked me this question recently, so a couple of days ago I had someone punch me in the face...
Oh, yeah, and we put it on video.
It's here and also on my home page.

How to Beat a Street Fighter - Part 2
What do I do if a street fighter is trying to kick me?
That's a question I received recently by email.
...I thought this was such a great question that I decided I should tell you my answer.
Here's how to neutralize virtually all kicks.
Move.
What? Too simple?
Well, I like to keep things simple.
We forget the complex stuff when a fight really happens, so why bother with it.
Okay. Let's get back to neutralizing the kick.
If you move in any direction your body will not be in the place where the kicker needs you to be to have power in his kick. Too bad for him.
Now if you move back or to the sides, his kick will probably miss or be very weak.
However, the encounter will not be over.
A better way is to move toward the kicker as your hand comes up with a powerful open hand strike, high on the attacker's chest.
You should aim at the area between the chin and the sternum.
Your open hand strike should slow down, stop or possibly even knock the kicker onto the ground, thus ending the attack with just one move.
You could also slam your forearm into his chest with similar results.
As for his kick, he'll probably bump his knee into your leg and never even be able to deliver his kick. Again, too bad for him.
Well, I hope you don't need to use this information, but here it is just in case.
Be Strong!

P.S. Oh, by the way, to help you be effective with this technique, use the startle move shown in my video.

How to beat a street fighter - Part 1
Here's what you can do if a street fighter is swinging at you, trying to punch your face.
Quickly move towards the attacker, to use one of your forearms to smash his mid-chest area. (This assumes that he is suddenly right in front of you and that you must defend yourself)
Keep your other hand up near your face, ready to defend.
Stomp with the foot that you use to step toward the attacker at the same time or slightly before you hit him with your forearm. This will increase your power.
If this doesn’t knock him flat on his back then start using your hands and forearms to explosively batter his face. (People don’t like to get hit in the face.)
Your movement should be like a temper tantrum, an adult size temper tantrum; quick and explosive.
He will be at your mercy as you deliver your wrath.
Your goal should be to quickly end it and leave.
If you’ve trained your reflexes, it will be easy for you to end the fight.
If you haven’t trained your reflexes…
