K9 training
Think what you will about our French counterparts....they have some tough K9s! I especially was amazed by the tag team takedown (near the end). I have NEVER seen that before in k9 training.

Reality Knife Training
I saw an excellent video on Shook's blog on the reality of fighting edged weapons. Unfortunately, too many defense systems may as well use this tactic. Enjoy!

Police Suicide
I was debating about writing about it, but I guess it certainly is cathartic to write it out even if no one reads it.
A former student of mine and officer of two years committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. He certainly fit the bill of the last person that you would expect to do something like that. As I sat through his memorial and watched the photos of him as a baby, young child, student, athlete, son, brother, soldier, and officer, it left me even more sad for his family and the rest of us as well. He was funny, outgoing, everyone liked or loved him. He always tried to find the humor. I wonder how or why he lost his sense of humor at such a young age (Under 30).
Police suicide is a phenomenon that is still hard to understand for a community of people who pride themselves on being able to handle any situation.

LE Training and Physical Training
I am attending some LE training in the beautiful northern coast. Brought my kettlebells and my Lifeline gym to keep me moving, but a jog along the beach is pretty awesome as well.
Life has been very busy...more LE training to come. I have been listening to Dr. Thomas Strentz (author of Psychological Aspects of Crisis Negotiations, and retired FBI)for half the day. Brilliant stuff.
More to tell when I come back. Workout of swings, snatches, Band work, 20 minute Yoga with DDP, and a 20 minute jog. Simple, basic, good.
