When it comes to fights, many people believe that chaos ensues with everyone trying to hit each other. However, this is not entirely true as fights actually have a system. If you examine it closely, you'll find that there are different distances involved, such as "Impact distance", "Close-quarter battle", "Clinch", and "Grappling", each with their own set of techniques used to gain the upper hand. One of these techniques is punching, which is characterized by the impact created when distance, mass, and speed are concentrated in one point on the opponent's body. Despite being a precise science, the problem is that our hands are not designed for this. 

In the 1990s, the UFC was introduced, which allowed people to fight without rules and with bare hands. Although many people took advantage of this initially, over time, gloves were reintroduced due to frequent hand injuries. Contrary to popular belief, gloves were not introduced for the protection of the opponent. In fact, old...

In this time of constant camera surveillance and a social media that promotes extraverted camera obsession, where narcissists are running rampant through every media outlet, and we are being told lie after lie so others can make a buck. I mean who hasn't heard of affiliate marketing where random people are paid to say something good about the worst products. 

Navigating Through the Era of Fake News and Artificial Intelligence

Sadly in spite of all the visual “evidence”  it's never been a more uncertain time. Ever since Trump opened our eyes to the possibility of “fake news” we are being sucked down a rabbit hole of uncertainty. And it doesn't end there, A.I. adds to this by providing filters that make you look stunning, deep fakes of celebrities are having sex and our search engines turned out to be woke.  sadly enough his is not even the worst part of it. Even our people in power are openly lying to us, or framing opposition in such a way that...

In 2004, the United States Marine Corps introduced the "Combat Hunter program" in response to the guerrilla warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan. The program was designed to train military personnel to recognize suspicious behavior and identify potential threats in a non-urban environment. Later they implemented the program was in other branches of the US military and law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI and local police departments.

In 2006, Israel introduced a new method of security called "Proactive Security", which incorporated many elements of the Combat Hunter system. Proactive Security is a method of observing people's behavior to identify potential threats before they occur. By using behavioral indicators and Attackers Modus Operandi (AMO), an early stage of an attack can be identified, and proactive action can be taken to prevent further damage.

Everything starts with a thorough risk assessment in Proactive Security. This means that all potential threats are analyzed and...

One of the weapons people think about when they are talking about self defense is pepperspray.

Even in countries like Holland where virtually every weapon is illegal, pepper spray recently was a point of debate in the government. There is a lot to be said for pepper spray when it's wielded by a capable and trained person, however when it's sold to any one and his dog I am somewhat less optimistic.

Pepper spray or OC spray is a chemical agent that works on the eyes and mucus membranes. It’s available in many different strengths and formats and is generally used by the police in self defense situations. When you decide to buy pepper spray there are a couple of things you have to keep in mind: first what do I want to defend myself against ? If you want to defend yourself against a bear you need a different type of spray then when you want to defend yourself against a person. The strength of pepper spray is measured by the amount of Oleoresin Capsicum or OC, that is extracted...
