0165 – FF Vehicle Chase and Shooting
Today's Friday Film gives us a pretty good look at the dynamics that are involved in violence. Very few people who are on our side have the luxury of knowing when they get ready to walk out the door that they are going to be involved in violence. There are a few roles that good guys play that give that foresight, but it isn't in the cards for most of us. Based on the nature of life we are most likely going to have some kind of a situation that appears from nowhere and quickly boils over into a chaotic, violent mess. ...
0159 – Convenience Store Awareness
In the past week or so we have been talking about the importance of awareness and I talked about the daily practice I do to help improve my awareness skills. Today I want to give a specific example of an exercise that I use to practice that can be adapted to many situations.
0158 – The “Advanced” Myth
I'm a trainer. I love what I do. I enjoy teaching people and helping them to acquire new skills and develop skills they already have more throughly. I have every intention of someday being a billionaire from teaching training classes. Check on me in ten years to make sure I have kept my word, but the $50 I actually may make in the business is not going to be from ADVANCED classes. Being "Advanced" is cool.
0157 – Too Much Too Fast
Training is like building a home. We can't put on the roof until the walls are up. Putting switch plate covers on before the switch is wired in is a bit silly. I can't imagine putting in new carpeting before the drywall has been sanded and painted. You get the point. Doing too much too fast is a waste of time, energy and resources.
0156 – Third Party Defense
Today's show is the third in a pretty loose series of episodes designed to help us to decide if we should get involved in situation that are taking place around us. Remember that to even have the opportunity to make a choice in the situations we are referring to in these shows, we have to be aware. Without awareness we are simply going to be bumbling in and out of situations without conscious control. We never want to give up control of our destiny so start out by being aware.
0151 – Train in the Rain or whatever weather you are dealt
This past weekend, I spent a bunch of time recording podcasts and having general fun in the rain. I always do my best to make lemonade with the lemons life tries to deal me, and training in rotten weather is no different. Today we are going to take a look at the benefits that training in adverse conditions can give us.
0150 – FF Play Off Season Reminds Me of AGGRESSION
If I could only have one quality well developed and ready to dominate a violent encounter it would have to be aggression. Pure aggression displayed by a "victim" can be a game changer in the mind of those that are trying to hurt others.
0148 – KISS
When we think about dominating a violent encounter we have to make sure that we approach things from a realistic standpoint. We must consider reality. We must consider the generations of success that we are programmed with from birth. We must consider SIMPLICITY. Today we talk about how how to keep it SIMPLE!
0146 – Hydration
Proper hydration can be a huge factor in the performance of athletes. The same is true for those of us that train for the unexpected or those that may be tossed into the fray unexpectedly. So lets look at hydration!
0145 – FF A Discussion of Violence and AOJP
K sent this video in suggesting it as a possible FF Video. I thought that it was a great example of some do's and dont's when it comes to violent encounters so into the que it went.
