COVER & CONCEALMENT

Hi everyone hope every body had a great couple of weeks. I have been extremely busy these last couple of weeks and could not make any posts last week, sorry about that. This weeks post I would like to discuss cover and concealment when it comes to dealing with being shot at.

Now most countries do not allow citizens to carry firearms so I am only going to talk about situations such as these. For countries that do allow its citizens to carry firearms there are additional things that you can do in this situations.

So if you are ever in a situation where someone is shooting at you and you need to run to get to cover and concealment. You want to run in a zig zag pattern this way it will be much harder for your attacker to line you up on his sights and shot you. Yes it may take a little more time to get there but your odds of getting shot will be much less then running in a straight line. You may get there quicker but usually with an extra hole in you because your attacker as an easier time lining you up on his sights.

You also want to get down low to the ground and take cover or concealment. Now here are the differences between cover and concealment now keep in mind you are going to run your ass off while probably shitting or pissing yourself when getting shot at and are not going to give a flying f**k if you have cover or concealment but reading this now it can help you keep some vital points in mind.

Cover constitutes any object or barrier that will protect you from being shot as well as conceal your position. Examples would be an engine block area of a vehicle, a solid brick wall, or a concrete planter. Concealment only serves to hide or obscure your location. It does not provide protection. Examples include bushes, vehicle doors, the interior walls of most structures, and even darkness.


Remember with cover, ensure that you keep an appropriate amount of distance from that barrier. The reason you maintain a safe distance from a barricade is to avoid being hit by ricochets. Till the next time remember there is no such thing as a dirty fighter only an educated one.

VACCINES FOR SELF DEFENSE SITUATIONS

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone had a great week. Today's post I would like to discuss the topic of vaccines. Regardless if your favorite self defense technique is an upper cut, right hook or to bite you always run the risk of contracting a disease from your attacker when you attack him. Actually you have more of a risk on contracting a disease from punching someone then biting someone (if you haven't done so read my posts on biting).

Now first things first the last think that should be running off in your head when your fighting to protect yourself is "maybe I shouldn't do this because I might catch something" if that's whats going off in your brain your screwed because you don't have the proper mindset it's like going to a gun fight with only a knife your going to get killed.

You should have no limitations or hesitations when it comes to doing what you gotta do to protect yourself or loved ones (at least that's how I see it). Now this is were the topic of vaccines comes into play especially against diseases such as Hep A & B. There are vaccines that your doctor can give you to help protect yourself from these diseases.

This in turn will not only give you a little more piece of mind when it comes to doing what you gotta do when your protecting yourself but also when going about your everyday life such as when traveling. So next time your at your doctors get info on the different vaccines that are out there because sometimes it's not enough to be able to protect yourself physically but internally as well.Till the next time remember

WHEREVER THE HEAD GOES THE BODY MUST FOLLOW



Hi everyone,

Control the head and the rest of the body must follow; it’s the simple law of anatomy. Watch someone try to get up off the ground when they are flat on there back. What moves first? The head, if the head cannot move then the body cannot as well.

How To Attack: By twisting, cranking, pushing, pulling, pinning, and manipulating your enemies head you control his body regardless if you’re in a stand up or ground fighting situation.


Also if you're mounted by an attacker have one butt cheek up off the ground this will help you as you crank your attacker’s head reverse the situation because then you can use your legs to help twist your attacker’s body off of you.

Note: When cranking you want, to steer the head, do not be concerned about breaking your attacker’s neck. This tactic actually places less force on the neck then a chiropractic adjustment.

Till the next time remember there's no such thing as a dirty fighter only an educated one.
