Ground Fighting
One of my message board members, Catnip48, emailed me this video link, with the comments, “Not sure what to think of this. Doesn’t seem like falling to the ground to engage a close range threat would ever be a good idea but on the other hand what if you fell or were pushed to the…

Got a Letter from Frank Brownell

Pre-Publication Peek at Massad Ayoob Review
Found out today the issue of The Blue Press containing the Massad Ayoob review of Mastering the IDPA Classifier should be shipped out from the magazine distribution center this week, not two weeks from now as I thought. This is good. Here’s a pre-publication peek at Mas’ article:
