When it comes to training to protect, less cryptic and more clarity is not only a plus it's essential! That's why I like Krav Maga & the PeaceWalker Approach to Conflict. Now I know some of you who train w/me are saying... "Sometimes you're cryptic as f*ck Craig." ...and you would be right! But that's because when it comes to APPLICATION of those basic principles things get real! ...And SIMPLE doesn't mean EASY! Also... It depends on what course/class you come to and what questions you ask. If you take one of our Basic Defensive Tactics or PeaceWalker Conflict Management Courses it is a 1-2-3 approach. The basic fundamentals are not that cryptic they are elegant! It's in their application where things get a bit confusing for the novice.

Trick or Treat...  Good for Halloween...  Bad for Protecting Yourself! Remember Halloween night when you were a kid!? You prepared for weeks figuring out what you'd dress up as... Mapping out your route to the houses that you knew handed out the best candy... Getting your Halloween flashlight... Remember those things?! They were these really cheaply made flashlights that had a pumpkin, ghost or witch face made of plastic on the front end of the flashlight. We picked them up at Meijers (our local grocery store)... They never survived the night w/o breaking or just not working. Or... Choosing your candy bag?!  Not too small... (You want to make sure you have enough room for all that loot!) ...or too big... (You don't want to lug around something that slows you down from getting to the next house... Lord knows they might run out of candy before you get there...) So finally, the night comes!!! You're...
