My RossTraining experience 2008-08-25 19:26:00 Yesterday, I finished Ross Enamit's 50 day Infinite Intensity conditioning program. Wow. It was a challenge at times. Actually a lot of the time. I really like the philosophy behind Ross's methods and the movements and workouts he espouses. His conditioning methods are geared towards combat athletes and this is a good thing for someone training for low tech combat proficiency. The best conditionin Read more:experience
and it begins... 2008-08-24 23:26:00 Well, this is my first attempt at blogging. I guess I will begin by explaining my thoughts on low tech combat. Firstly, high tech combat is modern warfare. This involves combined arms battle groups, satellite communications, automatic weapons, aircraft carrier battle groups and manoeuvre warfare. This is warfare utilising modern technology. In comparison, low tech combat is combat using low tech,

TMA v Modern systems 2008-09-16 03:01:00 Ive been thinking about traditional martial arts (TMA) compared to more modern systems for a while now and a thread on a forum today has sparked the matter for me.Like many older or less young martial artists and self protection practitioners, I trod my first steps on this pathway by joining a traditional martial art. It was a long process where I began at the back of the class in tracksuit pants Read more:Modern
Where is my training at? 2008-09-14 09:40:00 Well, Ive been busy this last week with finishing my first major assignment for uni. Also, Ive been wondering how my training has been going and where it is and if its going how I want...My boxing skills have certainly improved and is something I have never really done for any focused length of time. I am much more confident now in not only using my hands and evading someone elses, but of getting

Leadership qualities for us 2008-09-03 08:33:00 I wanted to spent some time to discuss something which I've considered for a while and first heard about a long time ago from where I can't remember.I want to briefly examine the similarities in traits displayed by people who are aware of their surroundings in regards to self protection, and leaders.A person who is aware and has practised awareness as part of day to day life will by nature, positi Read more:Leadership

The Full Spectrum 2008-08-27 20:53:00 Im going to examine what the full spectrum of low tech combat is in today's world. This is as much for my own benefit as much as anything else. Just to put it down on paper so to speak.Firstly, I think of low tech combat as the full spectrum of violence one is likely to encounter on the street today. That is primarily why I've called this blog, low tech combat. Violence on streets and in homes con Read more:Spectrum
What is the most likely attack on the street? 2008-10-02 23:43:00 What is the most likelyattack
going to be on the street? That is the big question. And do you practise counters to it? In theory, you should spend the greatest amount of time training for the most likely attack you may come up against rather than less likely attacks.The last poll that was held here on this blog was titled, 'What is the most likely attack on the street?' From the Poll, 9% said edg
Acronyms, Definitions and Terminology 2008-09-28 21:59:00 Some words and acronyms mean different things to different people.

But when I speak about these things in posts, it is from the perspective of these definitions.Awareness- Awareness encompasses all the skills, tactics and techniques we use during the pre-attack stag Read more:Definitions
Edged Weapon Awareness - Ray Floro Video 2008-09-23 01:58:00 This video is perhaps the most informative and eye opening video I have ever seen regarding edged weapons. It gives a real perspective and insight into the dangers of what edged weapons and every day items are capable of doing to actual flesh.Ray uses a credit card, pen, stanley knife and finally a bowie knife to cut through a leg of lamb.As you will see, it is quite eye opening.Ray Floro is one o Read more:Weapon

Video - Alexander Karelin (wrestling) 2008-09-20 05:43:00 For those that haven't seen much pure sport wrestling
, check out this video of Alexander
Karelin. He is a giant 130kg Russian wrestler who moves like someone half his size.He lost his first match in 13 years in the Sydney 2000 Olympics after which he retired and moved into politics. Its not hard to see the effectiveness these techniques would have on the street. Devastating...Enjoy
Punch on the street or not? 2008-09-19 22:10:00 If you punch someone on the street there is a high chance that you will break a bone or bones in your hand. The head is a strong part of the body and it was designed or evolved that way on purpose as it protects the brain. This raises the question; should we avoid using punches or training in boxing so we don't break our hand on someone's skull? ConsiderationsIm not totally convinced one way or th Read more:Punch

Alpha Male v Predatory Threat 2008-10-16 16:32:00 There is a common phrase which to me is so true,'Dumb people make simple things complicated,Smart people make complicated things simple.'I've seen a lot of conflicting theories and approaches for a whole range of 'attacks' somebody may use. It seems that there is a different counter required for every possible technique an attacker may come at us with! If this were true, it would make the area of Read more:Alpha
