Life DefenseREPLACE WEAKNESS with POWER!REPLACE is a PRINCIPLE of Self-Defense and Life Defense. Today in our discussion of Life Defense we speak of REPLACING weakness with power, to accomplish anything!
In Self-Defense, REPLACING an attacker’s lethal center and power is highly effective in throws and grappling. Additionally our very motion is most powerful when replacing the strength of our arms and shoulders with that of our center and legs. An example would be driving a strike all the way from mother earth, through your, legs and center delivered by your fist, vs relying on what can be generated by the ar...

Life DefenseCONTROL FEARIn the world of self-defense CONTROL is a central, powerful PRINCIPLE. CONTROLLING environments, fear, exposures, and even attackers themselves results in success to live another day. In Life Defense the same is true in every part of life.
We talk a lot about environments, exposures and others when discussing potential conflicts that might need CONTROLLING. However today we will focus on ourselves.
In self-defense the fear that escalates to nearly incapacitating levels is a real thing. Many of my participants have related to being forced, or assaulted physically, emotionally or mentally in different situations.

Sequelcast 2 and FriendsNational Lampoon's Vacation (1983)Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss National Lampoon's Vacation. A family gets yelled at by their father in the car during a long car trip across the United States.
Inspired by a John Hughes from National Lampoon magazine, National Lampoon's Vacation takes slapstick, a road trip film, and dysfunctional family dynamics into a solid comedy. Harold Ramis directs his funny comedy that drags a bit towards the end, but a small John Candy part helps round things out.

Life DefenseTRUE WARRIOR: DEVOTE YOURSELFDEVOTE yourself to something! In self-defense we literally DEVOTE to a technique, motion or counter, and if we half-heartedly do it any other way the chances of failure go exponentially up. DEVOTION to training also cannot be overemphasized.
In Life Defense a TRUE WARRIOR’S DEVOTION means “mat time” there’s no getting around it, and that might look like training, education, business experience or just fighting your way to the top of the game by learning all there is to know about the particular “game” you hope to win.
Either way DEVOTION plays a part. So if...

A Tom and Jerry cartoon writ large with cartoon violence and a hero who is an asshole, Home Alone is a perverse family classic. John Hughes' subplot involving the creepy neighbor has some nice heart to it, and John Candy has an all too brief cameo.
