- You Will Pay A Price For Not Learning Self Defense
By: Mike McCoy | - It is common for people to weigh the pros and cons of an activity before committing to engaging in it. In other words, most logical people perform some form of a cost-benefit analysis before deciding to invest time and money into a new activity. This rule generally applies when people consider whether or not to learn the art of self defense.
However, although many people have a pretty good understanding of what the benefits may be, they do not fully realize the costs of not le ...

- Ancillary Benefits To Training In The Martial Arts
By: Mike McCoy | - When you think of training in the martial arts, it is likely that you have a preconception about not only what you will learn, but also about the type of people who engage in this type of training.

- Martial Arts Is For Everyone
By: Mike McCoy | - Have you ever given any consideration to training in the martial arts? Chances are that the thought has at least crossed your mind, but you dismissed it because you believe that martial arts training is only for those who intend to fight competitively.

- You Can Learn The Art Of Self Defense In No Time
By: Mike McCoy | - When you think of martial arts you most likely conjure up images of Bruce Lee, or other Hollywood actors, performing advanced and highly difficult maneuvers. While this is most certainly an aspect of martial arts that is difficult to overlook, there is quite a bit more to martial arts than this. Put even better, there is quite a bit less to martial arts than this. In other words, the showy and technical maneuvers are fun to learn (and even more fun to watch), but it is possible to learn pract ...

By: Mike McCoy | - There are not too many people out there who willingly look for an opportunity to get into a fight. Nevertheless, you never know when having street fighting skills could pay off.

- Overcoming Fear Is Critical To Self Defense
By: Mike McCoy | - Imagine that you are walking through a dark alley late at night and you are approached by an angry man. He demands your money and your ring and says he will hurt you unless you consent to his demands. If you are like most Americans, it is likely that the primary emotion which this summons is fear. And as you probably know, it is difficult to operate when in a state of fear. The likely outcome to this scenario is not pleasant -- you could give up your possessions and hope that the man leaves ...

- Unarmed Self Defense- Fact Or Fantasy?
By: Mike McCoy | - Many people have the deep misunderstanding about martial arts that it is only used by violent individuals.

- Learning Self Defense Starts In Your Head
By: Mike McCoy | - It seems that you can't turn on the news these days without seeing at least one story about an innocent victim who was robbed, bullied, or beaten by one or more aggressor. To think that you are immune to this type of treatment is naive if not foolish. The fact is that nobody is immune to the ill behavior of others. Quite to the contrary, we never know when we will be susceptible to the attacks of violent individuals. It is in these instances that understanding the basics of self defense is a ...

- What Happened To The Marines?
By: Chris Pizzo | - Rivalries aside, most people agree the Marine Corp trains some of Uncle Sam's toughest warriors.
Sadly, the Marines, like so many military organizations, have fallen prey to political correctness in modern times.
In 2001, the Marines switched from their battle proven close combat methods in favor of a system that is designed to "subdue" rather then kill an attacker. Funny, I never thought the Marines had a problem with killing people before...And the scumbag terrori ...
