Pressure Points are a Universal WeaknessIt doesn’t matter who you are. You could be a 280 pound linebacker. You could be a 90 pound preteen. Knowing how to strike pressure points gives you an immediate advantage over any opponent. The 90 pound preteen could take down the 280 pound linebacker with this knowledge. In Real Combat, Martial Arts Can Be WorthlessEver since the Bruce Lee movies of the ‘70s, martial arts have enjoyed an immense rise in popularity. Even before then, the martial sciences were considered a useful tool in self defense. However, as time changes, so does combat. Martial arts have to meet this demand. In a Real Fight, the Kid Gloves Are OffIsn't it sad to see someone with a black belt in karate being faced with a gun? They were never taught how to deal with a gun, unfortunately. That is to say, they were never taught how to deal with a real fight. What You Need to Know About Real Combat TrainingCombat training comes in many forms and guises. Some forms of martial arts are truly artistic, in that they seem more like dancing than fighting. Many of them are, in fact, about as effective as dancing in a fight. This isn't West Side Story, people, this is real life. Learning How to Fight is Easier Than You ThinkMost people don't like the idea of being a victim, but they are often unwilling to go through months of training to learn how to fight and no longer be one. Many people are just too busy to be jumping, kicking and punching in a dojo for hours, only to find that they may get their butts kicked anyway Jujitsu: Its Advantages and Its ShortcomingsIt’s really a difficult task to narrow Jujitsu as a particular style. The problem with it is that it’s the root of several different styles of combat. While the techniques vary, the essence of it remains the same. Krav Maga as a Self Defense TechniqueKrav Maga is an awesome fighting style. It’s one of the few “no BS” styles out there that focuses on “real world” combat. You won’t typically look stylish doing it, but what ultimately matters is that you’ll win. Why Get Martial Arts Training?Some people think that getting martial arts training isn’t worth the time and effort. Either that, or they think it’s so 70s (or 80s). After all, why should they go through grueling hours in the dojo, learning new ways to punch, kick and jump, when all they need is a gun or pepper spray? What is Self Defense Training Worth to You?Sadly, violence is part of the human condition. Beyond that, it’s part of the game of life, whether you’re a human, a tiger or an antelope. The question ultimately is, are you going to be easy prey or a hard target? Self defense training will make you a much less appealing target for the predators of the world. The Need for Self Defense TechniquesIt’s an unfortunate fact of the human condition that we need to know self defense techniques. Whether you’re a soldier, a police officer, an orderly in a psychiatric ward or a normal person walking the streets, there will always be threats to your personal safety. People are subjected to aggression every day, and sadly, few know how to deal with it. A Brief History of Martial Artsn our culture, when the term “martial arts” is used, the image that comes to most people’s minds is specifically the fighting arts of Eastern Asia. Karate, Kung Fu, and Judo are representative of this idea. However, it’s a much more all-encompassing term, and the implications make it far more ancient than what you might think. What is Close Combat Training?Close Combat Training is the fighting style developed by Captain Chris Pizzo. It was developed by him by stripping a wide cross section of fighting styles of their flashy techniques and forms and getting down to the essentials of combat. The ultimate goal of a fight is to win, not to look fancy while losing. Art Auctions for Vintage PostersVintage posters are always available at art auctions. I have found all kinds of vintage poster art auctions lately. I really liked a vintage poster I found that was from the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam. The poster is rare because it is one of the only 500 of the 10,000 printed that is in French.

I have found some very interesting items when I’ve looked.
