RECCE ROOM

This is post 6 in a 6-part series. For self defense, simplicity is key. You cannot afford to find yourself in a fight and have too many options going through your head. You must be able to react immediately. So that said, this series will attempt to give you a breakdown of what movements you should drill until they are automatic. Naturally, different people will have different opinions, so the techniques suggested will be drawn from those most often used with success in MMA. Additionally, there are more options from each position than could ever be presented in a single blog post, so major alternatives will be presented in a list immediately following the highlighted techniques. Also, note that the strategy presented will be from the point of view of a jiu-jitsu fighter. A striking oriented fighter might use the major alternatives presented here as their go-to moves, while using the grappling philosophy as their backup plans. This does not indicate one style as being superior to ano...

A few friends were speaking the other day about the role of First Lady. To be fair, most First Ladies are well past The Wall, and so comparing based on looks is not 100% fair... with the notable exception of potential First Lady, Melania Trump. But, if one looks deeper, there is something telling in their looks. If you've ever noticed, Michelle Obama is almost never smiling in pictures, unless it's a designed photo-shoot. Candid photos of the current First Lady tend to capture scowls, grimaces, and "I-want-to-kill-you-with-lasers-from-my-eyes stares." Of course, if I was married to Barack Obama, I'd similarly be quite upset. In another point, Michelle Obama has been more visible than I would have expected, seeing as her daughters are both still fairly young. A woman places great priority on rearing her children, and it would seem quite difficult to do so while being in the public eye so very much. On the other hand, you have would-be First Lady, Melania Trump...

100 years ago, this was a freak. Today, you can see someone this size at any Wal Mart. A growing trend is "fat acceptance." Feminists are pushing it big time. They want you to believe that being morbidly obese is ok.  Here's a hint, 90% of health problems in America are caused by poor diet. And a leading indicator of poor diet is obesity. Feminists want you to think this is beautiful. But truth is, men don't think that and women don't, either. And why is it that this is true? Fat animals are as a result of abuse. Fat children are likewise a result of abuse. But fat women? They are inspiring. Yeah. So inspiring that Paleo diet and intermittent fasting sound better and better every day. Well, you don't fool me. I think a fat person is a result of abuse. Self-abuse. Get some help, and make a decision to change if that's you. But don't expect the rest of us to lie to you just because you eat too much and too poorly. So that's a major reason ...

QOTD: "I'm not [with] the tinfoil hat crowd. They think Armageddon is imminent. I'm with the tinfoil yarmulke crowd. We don't think it likely, but we also don't consider it impossible. We've read history."   From this link.   Posted via Blogaway

A reader emailed a question: what jobs are truly masculine? The simple answer is this - STEM jobs, manual labor, law enforcement, military, sales, firefighting, and only a handful of others. For example A friend is a weatherman. His degree would be in meteorology. That's science, and the job is science related. That's a masculine job. Another friend is in security (law enforcement) and had served in the US Marine Corps. Both qualify. Yet another friend is in sales. Certainly does qualify. The "on the fence" In doing research for this article, a couple of jobs came up as being touted as masculine by some, while other sources said they were not masculine: The first was accounting.   60% of accountants  are women. Therefore, accounting and related jobs (auditing, etc.) are not masculine jobs. Statistician - this is the only math field dominated by women . Not a masculine job. Actuary - per the link above, 70% of actuaries are male. Unlike statistics (fund...

Yesterday, Trump won Arizona, which mattered in terms of delegates. Cruz won Utah, which didn't matter in terms of delegates. If Trump wins California, New york, and Connecticut,  he will possess a majority of delegates regardless of the outcomes in other states. Right now, Trump leads by 17% or more in each state. Yesterday, I learned that Ted Cruz has picked up the endorsement of Jeb Bush. I'm pretty sure he didn't want that. Yesterday there was a coordinated terrorist attack in Brussels. Dozens are dead and hundreds wounded. Obunghole watched a baseball game in Cuba with a Communist dictator. We need leadership and are only 10 months away from having it. Of course, it was the "Religion of Peace" that was responsible for the killings. And people wonder why Trump is winning on a platform of eliminating illegal immigration and disallowing Muslim "refugees." Posted via Blogaway
