“This is the law:

The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield
and skill is more important the either.

The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.”

-John Steinbeck

The founders of Blauer Tactical Systems and I.C.E. Training Company will team up November 2-3, 2009, in Virginia Beach, VA to offer a tactical workshop that blends essential & fundamental skills from both Combat Focus Shooting & the S.P.E.A.R. System’s Personal Defense Program. This dynamic 2-day course addresses armed and unarmed confrontations.

The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response) is a scientifically researched & medically reviewed personal defense measure that exploits the body’s natural responses to violence and danger. This survival mechanism, dubbed: Startle-Flinch Response has been scientifically integrated into a series of neuro-muscular drills that teaches individuals how to convert their instinctive reactions into protective and combative tactics.

The Combat Focus Shooting (CFS) Program is an intuitive shooting program that is designed to work efficiently with the body’s natural reactions during a dynamic critical incident. This approach makes CFS Skills easy to learn and maintain for students of all backgrounds, military, law enforcement or self-defense.

Unlike many traditional programs, CFS does not take a purely mechanical approach to shooting training in isolation from the context in which the skill must be used. CFS is not simply “point shooting,” it is a training methodology that leads to more efficient defensive shooting skill.

This two-day course will take place at the Blauer Training Facility and on a live-fire range.

The course is $450.00 and is open to military, security and law enforcement personnel, as well as those interested in personal defense. (Background checks will be conducted.) Students should bring a firearm, holster, three magazines and 600 rounds of ammunition.

Good luck to all the competitors, I’ll be Tweeting, FBing and blogging on the road.

It’s fascinating to me how interesting my diet habits have become throughy posts ok facebook

It all started on my last trip to train UFC star Frank Mir. For no real reason I posted a picture of my breakfast and a slew of people posted comments, questions etc.

I joked that my photos were the less funny poor version of my friend Pat Sherwood’s “zone chronicles” featured by CrossFit.

Anyhow I lost a couple of pics of Frank and I training and I got one post – I post a picture of my In N Out Burger and ‘bingo’… Posts

I don’t get it but I like it – people are hungry for it (pun intended).

I’ve come to really enjoy facebook, it gives me a chance to interact with people all over the world and just keep it lite, social, spontaneous….

So here’s my dinner in NYC

And come join me on Facebook
