I did this so I could find if there’s a way to break my first response. Basically that’s me saying ‘What’s missing? What am I not seeing? What’s my bias? Am … [Read more…]
http://metro.co.uk/2015/10/28/this-new-sexual-consent-and-tea-video-from-the-police-is-brilliant-5466392/ ——————————————————- It’s very much a partial answer to a larger issue. However, I think it overlooks some complicating factors. https://conflictresearchgroupintl.com/how-to-avoid-rape-part-i-marc-macyoung/ https://conflictresearchgroupintl.com/how-to-avoid-rape-part-ii-marc-macyoung/ https://conflictresearchgroupintl.com/how-to-avoid-rape-part-iii-marc-macyoung/ One of which is the unconscious patterns of the bonding process and the messages we send while following it.

I want to talk about the tyranny of NEVER and ALWAYS thinking. More importantly I’m going to show how if you proceed from these assumptions you have shut your brain off — regardless of how much you tell yourself you are rational, informed, open minded and thinking clearly.

Context and timing. Real attacks versus sparring artifacts. One of the common patterns of shanking works from a handshake. The bad guy shakes your hand on some pretext and then pulls you in as he stabs you about in the armpit. I don’t usually teach knife defense for a number of reasons, if you know … [Read more…]
The class was working on power generation, using the center of gravity to slam extra power up into a strike or down into a strike. Two types of wave power. One man interrupted. Through the translator, he said, “But I don’t want to hit. My reaction will be to defuse and avoid.” Wrong place, wrong … [Read more…]

As long as everyone chooses to stay ‘over here’ violence is over the horizon and really isn’t an appropriate solution. However, if someone isn’t willing to compromise, violence appears on the … [Read more…]

It’s pretty much all you can do unless there’s something like a table nearby that you can roll under and try to recover. … [Read more…]
For the record, I’m not a fan of generalized open carry for a number of reasons (starting with the whole ‘shoot me first’ aspect and ending with ‘don’t scare the civilians’). But if you’re going to do it, this is a pretty good list of suggestions. ——– This is my response to folks (elsewhere) … [Read more…]
Or so we’re told. For the moment we’ll overlook the glaring hypocrisy of that statement (Hint, it’s in the judgmental angle of ‘wrong’ to judge…) However, being lectured about (or beat over the head with that soundbite, if you will) with ‘how wrong and judgmental you are being’ has become a common tactic to shut … [Read more…]
