” Those who carry a pistol should understand that a pistol, most often, is not the only tool they should have in their toolbox.
Being able get hands on, using simple concepts of strikes and proper mental development to produce tactically superior actions is often the best method of overcoming adversaries.
I knew that going into this class I would have to work diligently at refining my personal knowledge and application of integrated combatives.”
