Like perhaps some of you who read this, I was privileged to be raised by a father who was a real man, and still is despite his now advanced age. Sadly, there are far fewer of them in this generation, but we still have some, thank God. As part of being raised by a man... Continue Reading →
There is no lack of books on the market that pertain to self-defense. A lot of this material is excellent, but much of it is junk. My advice is to read as much of this material as possible, but certainly aim to weed out the nonsense. As an enthusiast of this discipline I have read... Continue Reading →
There appears to be one thing most faiths share in common: the failure to plan for self-defense within the house of worship. The synagogue attack in Pennsylvania, which claimed 11 innocent lives, is the most recent testament to that. My intention is not to blame the victims here; the fault lies only with the sicko...

One of the relatively few television series that I have watched and enjoyed is Vikings. I have actually only watched the first two seasons, I intend to jump into the third season once I find the time. A particularly interesting scene occurs early on in the series when the primary character Ragnar, a Viking raider... Continue Reading →
The American Warrior Show is, in my opinion, one of the best self-defense oriented podcasts going. The host is Mike Seeklander, probably known to many of you as a co-host on the Outdoor Channel’s show The Best Defense. Mike is a great host and always covers great topics. I listen to all of the episodes... Continue Reading →
There is a disturbing trend in the community of self-defense, shooting, and overall preparation in which many people “forecast” and try to predict the nature of the danger they may face and what that will actually look like. This can be seen in a number of ways. In his best-selling book The Black Swan renowned... Continue Reading →
I have met John Murphy, the lead instructor of FPF Training, a couple of times before. John is a firearms and self-defense trainer who also hosts many of the top names in the industry at his range in Culpepper, Virginia. Therefore, I have met him before when training with instructors he has hosted. I have... Continue Reading →
