Cane/Stickfighting Seminar At The Dungeon - Nov 2009

Wow, has it really been 9 years since this Seminar? Time really does go by in the blink of an eye.

Anyway, just a few snippets from what was quite a bruising experience at the time. Ralph G took the lead of course with Clint taking over at the end for some Old School JiuJitsu Chokes & Strangles. Ah yes, a fun time was had by all!

Except for the guys who volunteered to be the Demonstration Ukes........



Here we have a demo of using a stick for a rather painful neck hold restraint by using the stick to press against the back of the neck while the Radial bone of the right forearm digs into the carotid. Call it stand-up stickgrappling if you will.




This is another example of stand-up stickgrappling that involves using the cane as a lever for a takedown. Let it be known that there was no padding on the cement floor in that area, and that my landing was less than graceful.




And here we have two hearty souls working on basic two-handed strikes using what Ralph calls a Kendo grip.

Just some blasts from the past for your edification everybody. Hope you enjoyed it.

Switzerland Tells the EU to go Fuck Themselves on Gun Control

Well, this article certainly makes for interesting reading. It's been a bad couple of years for the EU and it looks like it's a bout to get worse.

Mossberg Joins Springfield Arms & Sticks it to Dicks Sporting Goods

Following the lead of Springfield Arms;

https://www.tacretailer.com/2018/05/03/springfield-armory-severs-ties-dicks-sporting-goods/

Mossberg has ceased doing business with Dicks Sporting Goods and their Affiliates Field & Stream. Hopefully all the other firearms and firearm accessory companies will follow suit.

Then Dicks can do what they do best, sell sneakers and jockstraps.

Dicks Sporting Goods Decides To Shoot Itself in the Foot

More or less. What started out as a PR strategy in the wake of the Parkland shooting has become an all-in jump on the wagon effort to support gun control by hiring a lobbyist to further gun control laws down in Washington.

Meanwhile they're still selling non semi-auto firearms and related accessories in their stores. Who knows, maybe if enough of the big chain stores get out of the firearms business, we may see a resurgence of smaller privately owned store where the guys behind the counter actually know a little something about the products that they're selling.

One can only hope.

Look at what the CDC has Known about for 20+ Years...

..but never bothered mentioning.

Maybe because it hasn't fit their narrative of gun violence being a "disease" and therefore the public doesn't need to all the facts about defensive firearms usage.
