Product review of my latest amazon find relating to EDC carry. I've carried a small multi-tool for many years. How does this little compare? Let's find out!

Product review! I review the Dryden Designs Fountain Pen - Medium Nib 0.5mm.

This is what my sons do for fun - better than video games. They are only allowed to handle throwing knives under my supervision. I used to own a martial arts school and taught defensive tactics to law enforcement and military so... I am very careful but try to make learning fun at the same time.

Another old video with an old Koryu technique. Originally against a sword, it is an option for a stick or baseball attack (even a skateboard or "protest sign"). THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! I do not condone or encourage anything immoral, unethical or illegal! Defense is against an overhead attack or baseball bat swing where your opponent is aiming for a "home run" with your head. Scenario: you've squared off - maybe they are taunting you. You may or may not have something in your hand. Anticipating a baseball bat type swing, you instigate movement with a left hand feint. As the "wind up" turns into a committed swing, jump forward, slip your head out of the way and smash into opponents rear knee cap just as they think they are smashing you in the head. If your aim is good, this pretty much ends the situation. As you look around for other protes...err...attackers, sweep available legs. Citizen's arrest and detention follows... Several versions are shown with various "timings". The most important part here is the "not getting hit" part.

Several (slightly) different versions of the same technique. Done slowly at first to show the fundamentals and gradually "smoothed out." Not "full speed" for clarification of the technique. First movement is an evasion (tai sabaki), then a trap and a throw. a "1,2,3" movement. The most important thing to remember is, "first, don't get hit".

Another old video. This one shows a variation on a traditional judo technique called "uchimata". Bonus points if you can accurately count just how many times I say "uchimata!"
