Hick's Law



Tony Blauer. Good Stuff to study.

Tony Blauer's stuff is very good, as it is simple to learn and works. Too often the concept of a "universal default" is lost on martial arts/ combatives courses yet this is the most needed attribute in a surprise attack (eg. street level) situation.

There are others out there with interesting variations (J. Kelly McCann, Rodney King/ Crazy Monkey) but Blauer was doing this as early as 1988-89, so props to him for being first. Have you been to one of his seminars?

Also, Ray Floro is doing some good stuff with edged weapons that every LEO should take a serious look at, as well as Dog Brothers in their "Die Less Often" DVD. We have been doing a lot of this type of stuff in my group and I am seeing interesting evolution, but a lot of what passes as conventinal wisdom in this area will get guys killed. Good stuff.

I have not been to Tony's seminar, but one of my colleagues went to a train the trainer course (SPEAR). I am hoping to attend one in the fall. I know that Ray Floro's dvd just came out-have you seen it?
