Great Wing Chun link for you

China Boxer

Here is a site that seems to have a great amount of detail and information on Wing Chun.

Definitely worth a look for southern stylists.

Firearms Link

Here's a blog with a great title - "The Thinking Gunfighter".

Looks like some good information for those who intend to use firearms for defense.




(I just like the photo, nothing to do with the post.)

Five circles of preparedness

From the Surviving in Argentina blog - http://ferfal.blogspot.com/2010/04/five-circles-of-preparedness.html.

He describes the preparedness mindset much like martial artists discuss ranges - from the immediate, 'deal with it now' range to the longer range (but still life threatening), take a breath and cope (prepare) range.

I like to think of martial arts as being a micro version of the real world - the strategies/principles we use for protecting ourselves are the same, only the tactics and techniques change. And when things go south, fancy moves rarely help - simple, proven methods are preferred.

Preparedness Link

Preparedness Lifestyle vs Preparedness Event - http://mail.myptsmail.com/mercop/blog/?p=617

"Preparedness is like physical fitness, the little things you do every day matter more than the big things you do once in a while."

A little workout every day beats one long workout rarely. A journey of a thousand steps begins with one step, repeated.

From Ikigai - Blogging the martial way

"Everybody has to decide for themselves what they are willing to risk to defend themselves, their loved ones, and complete strangers. But it’s wise to understand the possible ramifications of relying solely on others for that protection."

Wise words from Ikigai - http://www.ikigaiway.com/2010/the-perpetual-need-for-self-defense/

Words that apply to all of life - don't wait around for someone else to do what you should be doing for yourself.

And a belated Gung Hay Fat Choy to everyone.
