Honoring the neglected arts

And, taking some time to honor some of the more neglected areas of martial arts and self-protection: Realistic tactical training in the offensive use of and the defense against firearms, blades, blunt weapons and improvised weapons.

Taking some time to honor a few more arts

Taking another moment to honor the martial arts, specifically the Grappling arts that I've spent 30 plus years working hard on becoming proficient in including various forms of Sambo, Judo, Jujitsu, Catch Wrestling and Aikido. Also, a huge shout out to Melissa for taking the falls, twists, cranks, chokes and nerve attacks during these pictures. You're awesome angel!

Having fun in the Garage!!

Having some fun farting around in the garage with a Front Double Biceps Pose and a Side Chest Pose

Doing my best Van Damme!

Was watching Bloodsport and thought I'd do my best Van Damme!!

Honoring some of the arts I've studied

I've had the honor and privilege of being involved in the martial arts and self-protection for over 30 years now. So, I thought I'd take a moment to honor a few of the traditional striking and weapons arts that I've had the privilege of training hard in. Various methods of Karate, Kung Fu, Kempo, Kenpo, Tea Kwon Do, Eskrima, Arnis and Kobudo.
