This is a paper cut. We do it with a wooden practice sword. It is not as easy as it looks. I'm not just doing this for the sport of it. It is a serious self-defense warning to all newspapers with a bad attitude!

I have a couple black belts but Gumdo (Korean Samurai sword) is the toughest I have done as a yellow belt. The horizontal snuffing is a yellow belt requirement while the vertical snuffing (much, much more difficult) is a white belt technique. I really wasn't planning on snuffing all of them so I was confused at the end. Wanted to prove what was snuffed and couldn't figure out whether to use my cell or my laptop. Haedong Gumdo is really a challenging martial art. Can't imagine what kind of crazy stuff I will have to do for my next belt level!

Most macho dudes think self-defense is buying guns to defend their stash of canned goods or to protect them from zombies. But we also need to protect against the unseen. These fotos are of my first future food crops. Sprouting is so super-easy. Those are mung bean sprouts that I started yesterday. Should be ready in a few days. My cherry tomatoes may take a bit longer.

This was Rising Star's first night of training at our dojo. This space is usually used for Taekwondo and Kung Fu San Soo.

Rising Star Stunt Team is working out at our dojo at Menaul & Eubank. This is an example of some of the martial art action in one of their sessions. I often watch their training which is a real twist on regular martial arts. For example, one major goal is NOT to hit the other person. That other person could be a major actor!

This was the first of a series of seminars the Beau is presenting to teach us how to get out of a hostage situation. It wasn't that easy but was possible! I can easily get out of the smaller zip ties but these were a lot thicker. Had to use a different technique to break them. There is more to come!

Another great demonstration of how do to a proper takedown.

This is a real honor: Andrew Webb will be hosing Al McLuckie at NMMA & F at Menaul and Eubank on July 20, 2019. Al McLuckie is a certified Systema instructor. Systema is a Russian martial art for very close quarter combat. This is a MUST for anyone who really wants to get in close to destroy an opponent - no messing around! Hope to see you here.
