 Annual Defensive Edge/SLR15 Rifles Five Gun Event Results
 "Everyone who showed up was a winner..."

The annual five gun event was held in October at the Princeton range.

We have developed what we believe is the perfect competition for all - it is not strictly based on speed of who completes it the fastest like some competitions, rather based on quality marksmanship, sound tactics and techniques, and follow through.

This makes everyone, whether how large or small, fast or slow, perfect physical shape or limited, everyone has just as much chance to win.

Sully is known for being able to challenge all, as well as make the speed demons slow down and work.

For the second year in a row, Death451 was the overall winner.

 Continued...Sully's Thoughts on Training & Learning
 Read the entire article at TacticalReality.com


These are a few of my thoughts on modern self defense and training principles.

For those of you that know me and some of my background, know that I have trained in the Japanese Arts since I was a small child. I bring many of these principles to our doctrine through body physics and mechanics, also in the spiritual aspect and thought.
You will see that I focus lots of body mechanics and physics on shooting foundations of how things work and recoil management. I was always taught that weapons are extensions of your arms and legs, so I view modern day self defense tools as extensions of the limbs.

You will also see that I am a firm believer in consistent training. Training means that one should seek out training knowledge from someone who has something to teach, but training also means practice of what you already know.

Sully's thoughts on Funakoshi Sensei's Dojo Kun - and the application to tactics and training

The Dojo Kun contains five "rules of the Dojo". This month I will share my thoughts on the third "kun":

3. Hitotsu! Doryoku no seishin o yashinau koto.
Endeavor to excel.

To endeavor means complete dedication and commitment necessary to achieve mastery of the art. In no case is mastery possible without strenuous effort and sacrifice on the part of the practitioner. The endeavor must be of a sincere nature and not just superficial. Serious effort on the part of the student will be recognized by the sensei who will in turn spend more time with him or her.
