		<title>Urban Warfare: The Gun Is Loose&#8230;Now What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fighting in built-up areas, engaging in combat in urban surroundings, often forces you to fight with very little room to maneuver. Whether you’re on the battlefield, defending yourself in a home-invasion robbery, or facing a violent attacker in any other urban or suburban setting, space can be at a premium and you’re at greater risk.

		<title>Timing Your Handgun Disarm Technique!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, you&#8217;ve practiced how to disarm a handgun a few thousand times and you&#8217;ve reached the level of expertise where you can rip anything short of a howitzer out of your training partner&#8217;s hands.
But a handgun disarm technique requires much more than just nimble fingers and a willing partner.  For your disarm to truly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Your Martial Arts Training BACKWARDS?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a problem with “martial arts”.
No, I’m not going to launch into some “anti-martial arts” rant about how it’s ineffective in a real street fight (though I have my opinions).
But the problem I have with most martial arts systems is that they teach their students how to defend themselves completely BACKWARDS!
Let me explain…

		<title>Grappling Moves For The Street: Escaping The Mount!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Picture this&#8230;
You’re on your back on the asphalt of a parking lot.  Something sharp and unpleasant is digging into your back.  You don’t notice that, however, and you don’t try to get up.
Why?  Because you can’t!
There’s  a very large man straddling your body, punching you in the face again and again as he uses his [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Most Dangerous Street Attack?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quick question for you&#8230;
Which threat do you feel is the most dangerous in a real street fight?

Knife attack?
Handgun?
Baseball bat?
Multiple attackers?

Well, there&#8217;s not a one of them that I&#8217;d like to face on a Friday night out with my family, but the &#8220;trick answer&#8221; is&#8230;
&#8230;The Attack You Don&#8217;t See!
When your brain is locked into &#8220;ultra-adrenaline&#8221; mode, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Self Defense Against A Stick, Baseball Bat Or Club: Myths Exposed!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Martial arts techniques for stick fighting self defense against a club, baseball bat, tire iron or other impact weapon often use unrealistic street fight situations.
Chalk this one up to inexperience when it comes to how real street fights happen when weapons are involved.
An attacker armed with a club is perhaps even more deadly than someone [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To Deal With Gangs!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I’m currently working in a high-crime area where I frequently come upon gangs of older teens and young twenty-something’s hanging out in a crowd on the street corner having a good time.
Sometimes that “good time” involves one of them stroking their own ego by hassling someone walking by that “doesn’t belong there”.  Someone like me!

		<title>How To Train Your Body Like An Ancient Warrior!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember the scene in &#8220;Conan The Barbarian&#8221; when a young Conan, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, was forced to push this giant wheel all day long to build up his body in preparation for his future as a deadly warrior?
Well, although they didn&#8217;t have &#8220;steroid cocktails&#8221; to aid them back then, ancient warriors like the Vikings, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is &#8220;Running Away&#8221; REALLY The Best Self Defense Technique?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It always cracks me up when self defense instructors recommend to their students that, when faced with a violent attack, they should &#8220;just run away&#8221;.
C&#8217;mon&#8230;is that REALLY a sound self defense strategy?
No, I&#8217;m not saying that running is &#8220;sissy-like&#8221;.  You should ALWAYS avoid a fight if you can.
But if THIS is your primary self defense [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloween: Edged Weapon Training&#8217;s Best Friend!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just took my 7 year old son, Tristan, to the Halloween store this week to put the finishing touches on his trick-or-treat costume.
After picking up a black body suit and 2 plastic Ninja swords to unleash an unsuspecting fury on any foolish householder not willing to fork over the loot (that&#8217;s my boy!), I [...]]]></description>
