Is a gun the ULTIMATE form of Self-Defense?

Gun Self-Defense

Is a gun the ULTIMATE Street Fighting Solution?
I just got an email from one of my subscribers telling me that the gun was the ultimate self-defense solution.  My response to him and others is sure – a gun is great to have, carry and use if needed. 
But, let’s think about what using a gun in self-defense really means.
First there are MULTIPLE types of self-defense.  Here is how I would categorize some… and I’m sure you can think of others.

What is REAL Self-Defense?

Martial Arts Topics - Realistic Fighting

Street Fighting Takedown

Unfortunately most people’s view of real self-defense is not too “real”.  Let’s first look at what REAL self-defense is NOT.

  • It is NOT what you see in the movies. 
    Jet Li, Jackie Chan and all those other actors of amazing martial arts performers – BUT 95% of it is just a performance.  You are not really seeing how a real fight goes down.
  • It is NOT a backyard fight or high school fight.
    Fighting your buddy in the backyard or fighting a rival at your school is NOT a real fight.  You may get hurt, you may get some lumps, but I’m willing to bet that you life was never in real danger.

Are you gaining muscle the WRONG way?

Martial Arts Topics - Training your body
are you not gaining muscle?

Are you building muscle the wrong way?

I remember when I first started lifting and training with weights. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. One of my main reasons for lifting was that I was skinny-fat kid who was very weak. You know the guy I'm talking about, he doesn't weigh a lot, but he's just "soft". That was me.

I wanted to be strong and fit; and was also starting to take my martial arts training much more seriously. I knew that lifting weights would help me get stronger and be a better fighter.

When I first joined the gym and started lifting, I tried to mimic what everyone else was doing in the gym: biceps curls and bench press (but of course the WRONG way). Think about how many guys you see doing that everyday. How many of them do you actually want to look like? How many of them actually look like they are strong and muscular?

I had no idea what lifts to do, how to do those lifts properly, how to organize my lifting routine, and how this so-called routine would effect me.

I want to fight like a BEAST - Who's with me!

My favorite action hero as a kid has always been the Hulk - a True MONSTER.

  • HUGE
  • Athletic
  • And can whoop some a__

But, without the super green gamma rays - how do we get like the Hulk?

The Overhook in Guard for Jiu-Jitsu and MMA

Martial Arts Topics - Combat Martial Arts Training

I wanted to share with you one of my favorite attacking positions in Guard and Half Guard: The Overhook. I use this a lot in no-gi grappling, jiu-jitsu, self-defense and MMA Training. Attacking with the overhook has completely changed my grappling game and approach to fighting in guard. I've found great success with it in all areas of combat. My students and training partners use it very effectively as well. Pro-MMA Fighter and dominating submission grappler Oz Pariser - who is also one of my assistant instructors at my school (Kobukai Ju-Jitsu / Best Way Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Cromwell) has been destroying people for years using the overhook. It's become such a pain that half the time we're fighting, I'm trying to defend against him getting the overhook!
